Creating a Wedding Hashtag
Unless you’re hosting an unplugged wedding, you probably want to create a wedding hashtag to make your day even more memorable. Not only do hashtags allow you to see your wedding photographs in real time, but they allow you to create a virtual wedding album which will (forever) be available for everyone to see.
A wedding photographer can capture all of the most special moments, but it’s the guests who fill in the gaps.

Here, I’ve rounded up the best wedding hashtags that I’ve seen floating around the internet, top tips for creating your own and how to use them.

How to Make Your Own Wedding Hashtag
Struggling to know where to start with your own wedding hashtag? Follow these top tips and you’ll have created something you love in no time…
- Start With the Basics: This might be a bit obvious, but you’ve got to start with the basics. I’d recommend you make a list of everything that might be relevant to include in your hashtag, including the following- Your first names Your surnames Your new, marital name (are you merging or double-barreling your names?) The date of your wedding The name of your venue The location of your venue The theme of your wedding The date your first met First and last names are the best starting point, because they’re what will make your hashtag personal, but you should also think outside the box. Have you got any nicknames? Have your friends given you a couples’ name? (RIP Brangelia, long live Posh and Becks). Now is the time to embrace any little quirks.
- Get Punny: Your wedding hashtag is the part of your wedding you can really have fun with, so if you and your other half are known as jokers, you should definitely look towards a play on words. Puns are the lifeblood of hashtag writing, after all. Think about potential alliterations and rhymes which might work. It’s a good idea to pick up a thesaurus and jot down words which sound like either person’s first or last names (or even parts of them). Someone with the surname Hurst might use something like “#LoveAtHurstSight”, for example. You could even try putting your names into an online pun generator or consider the help of a professional hashtag writer (yep, they actually exist). If you’re still feeling stumped, enlist the help of a witty friend or family member.
- Creating a Unique Wedding Hashtag:Without really caring how good or witty your ideas are, jot down all the hashtags which have sprung to mind during steps one and two. Getting your thoughts down on paper might encourage more ideas, as might asking your friends on Facebook and Instagram for suggestions.
Creating a Unique Wedding Hashtag
Wedding hashtags can be a great way to share your wedding photos with your guests, as well as to make finding your photos easy. To get started, brainstorm some of your favourite memories, inside jokes and song lyrics - make sure to have fun with it and make it personal.
