Where to use your wedding hashtag
A wedding hashtag gives guests one tag for every photo they post, so you can find them all in one search after the day. It works best when guests see it early and often.
Pick one main hashtag and use it everywhere. A second one for the weekend events is fine, but more than two and guests start guessing.
Good places for your hashtag
- 1Your invitation and your save-the-date.
- 2Your wedding website or invitation page.
- 3A welcome sign at the entrance to the reception.
- 4Table cards, menus and the bar.
- 5The photo booth, where phones are already out.
How to choose a wedding hashtag
Search it first
Look it up on Instagram before you print it. If someone else used it, add your year or switch to another idea.
Keep it short
Short hashtags are easier to remember and harder to mistype. Under 25 characters is a good aim.
Capitalise each word
#MeetTheCarters reads better than #meetthecarters, and screen readers say it properly.
Avoid tricky spellings
If guests will misspell a name, choose an idea built on the other name or your last name.
Read it out loud
Words run together can spell something you didn’t mean. Say it, and ask a friend to read it too.
Use one main hashtag
One hashtag everywhere keeps every photo in one search. Too many and the photos scatter.
A hashtag only finds the photos guests post
Most wedding photos never make it to Instagram, and private accounts never show up in a hashtag search. A QR code on the tables collects every photo straight from guests’ phones, at full quality.
- ✓Guests scan and upload from their browser, with no app.
- ✓Every photo lands in one album, and plays on a live slideshow.
- ✓Use your hashtag on the sign beside the code, and get both.
