One of the best things about social media is the ability to collaborate with so many people so easily!  A personalized hashtag allows you and your guests to share photos and special moments easily on social media in a creative and fun way. Here’s how to create the perfect wedding hashtag for your celebration.


1. Start with Your Names

One of the easiest ways to create a wedding hashtag is by incorporating your names. Try combining your first or last names in a creative way. Examples include:

2. Use Puns and Wordplay

A little humor or clever wordplay can make your hashtag stand out. Think of rhymes, alliteration, or wedding-related puns, such as:

3. Include Your Wedding Year or Date

If your names are common or your hashtag idea is already taken, adding your wedding year or date can make it unique. Examples include:

4. Make It Easy to Spell and Remember

Avoid complicated words or difficult spelling to ensure guests can easily use the hashtag. Keep it short, sweet, and straightforward.


5. Check for Uniqueness

Maybe this one should be higher on the list. Before finalizing your hashtag, search for it on social media platforms to make sure it isn’t widely used. You want your hashtag to capture only your wedding moments!


6. Spread the Word

Once you’ve created your perfect hashtag, share it! Include it on:

  • Invitations and wedding websites

  • Welcome signs and table cards

  • Social media posts leading up to the big day
