In the age of Instagram and TikTok, your wedding deserves more than just a beautiful album—it deserves its own hashtag! 
Wedding hashtags are a fun and interactive way to collect all the special moments in one place, engage guests, and relive the magic anytime you want. But how do you create the perfect hashtag that isn’t just another #HappilyEverAfter? Let’s dive in!
Why You Need a Wedding Hashtag 
Imagine this: It’s the morning after your wedding, and instead of scrambling through hundreds of photos from different people, you simply type your hashtag into Instagram and—voilà!—every beautiful, candid moment appears. That’s the magic of a great wedding hashtag!
All Your Memories in One Place – Guests can tag their photos, making it easy for you to find all the special moments. Engagement & Fun – It encourages guests to snap and share their favorite moments. Personal Branding – Your love story is unique, so why not give it a signature hashtag? Perfect for Wedding Content – Whether it’s a countdown, behind-the-scenes, or the big day, a hashtag keeps your wedding buzz alive.
“We didn’t create a hashtag at first, and I regret it! We missed so many candid moments from our guests’ perspectives. Definitely make one early!” – Sarah & Tom, newlyweds
How to Create the Perfect Wedding Hashtag 
1. Make It Personal 
Use your names, initials, or even a fun nickname you share. Examples:
- #MeetTheMartins
- #ForeverSmiths
- #JackAndJillSayIDo
2. Add a Playful Twist 
Make it witty, unique, or punny:
- #GoingGonzalez
- #HappilyEverAnderson
- #TurnerTiesTheKnot
3. Keep It Short & Sweet 
Long hashtags are harder to remember (and type). Stick to something catchy and easy.
- #KandBForever
- #TeamThompson
- #HitchedWithHarris
4. Avoid Common Hashtags 
Generic hashtags like #JustMarried are overused. Stand out by making yours unique.
“We made the mistake of choosing #HappilyEverJohnson… turns out, so did 50 other couples! We had to switch last minute to #JohnsonJourney2024, which worked much better.” – Emily & Mark, just married
5. Check for Availability 
Search Instagram or TikTok to ensure your hashtag isn’t already flooded with unrelated content.
6. Make It Easy to Spell & Read 
Use capitalization to make words clearer: #LoveWithTheLanes is easier to read than #lovewiththelanes.
7. Get Friends & Family Involved 
Not sure which hashtag to pick? Host a mini poll with your bridal party or on social media!
Where to Use Your Wedding Hashtag 
Once you’ve crafted the perfect hashtag, make sure guests actually use it! Here’s how:
Wedding Invitations & Website – Include it in your wedding details. Signs & Decor – Place stylish signs at the venue, like “Tag Your Pics! #SmithsSayIDo.” Photo Booth & Napkins – Print it on napkins, table cards, or your photo booth backdrop. Social Media Countdown – Use it in the lead-up to your wedding with engagement pics, behind-the-scenes prep, or fun wedding facts! Live Stream & Stories – If guests are tuning in virtually, remind them to tag and share.
“We put our hashtag on our wedding website and had a fun sign at the reception. The best part? We got to see guests’ photos before we even received our professional ones!” – Jessica & Aaron, newlyweds
