After the bride and groom finish saying “I do” at their wedding ceremony, many couples decide to invite their guests to pull out their phones and snap pictures to capture memories of their wedding reception. A custom hashtag enables the journey of walking down the aisle and the wedding festivities to be cataloged through multiple social media platforms. Take our tips to be hashtag happy when you use a technology friendly way to document your special day.
# Search that hashtag
It would be a good idea to search the hashtag that you have in mind before you claim that catchy phrase. Make sure that when you pull up your soon-to-be hashtag that it isn’t associated with anything offensive to you or your wedding party.
# Be unique, but not too wordy
Yes, we remember that song from Mary Poppins, “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”, but please don’t make your hashtag long and exhausting. Also, if your hashtag is common and boring, you may end up with your photos being buried among thousands of others online. Make your hashtag creative, memorable and easy to spell, which will help you and your guests in the long run. If creativity is not up your alley, the internet boasts many websites that can help you generate a hashtag.
# Use your hashtag from the beginning
Plan to chronicle those trips to pick out bridesmaid dresses, engagement parties, the bridal luncheon and your bachelorette party. You will love looking back at all these fun memories.
# Make sure your hashtag is posted in prominent places
Consider putting your hashtag on your save the date cards, at bridal showers and in a visible place at your wedding reception.
# Start snapping those pictures and hashtag away!
It’s all about the good memories and having fun, so start snapping those pictures and capture your journey down the aisle.
