A hashtag that you and your guests can use is an increasingly popular idea at weddings. Not only does everyone get to share beautiful memories captured on your special day (even the behind the scenes parts), they also get to view what other guests are sharing.
The tricky part is finding the perfect hashtag that's interesting and memorable. More importantly, how to ensure yours is original. This is easy: Do a test search of the hashtag to see if others are using it. Hijacking someone else's hashtag is a definite no-no!
Here are some tips that may be useful if you are #stuckinarut. If all else fails, you can try this cool wedding hashtag generator
It's all about the wordplay
Most of how to make a hashtag interesting is attributed to the wordplay. It's no easy feat when all you have are words and a character limit. A popular hashtag style is a combination of names of the bride and groom. Put a fun spin on it with the use of puns and alliteration and you've got a hashtag that is unique to you. You can also rhyme or include nicknames to make it more personal like #BobandBooSayIDo. Just don't #hashtagalongwordwithoutcapitalletters because, well, this is why.
Give me the details
While you want your hashtag to be quirky, you may also want to consider adding all the relevant details. This will be useful for informing others (followers) of your special day. These details could be the venue of your wedding, the date or time of day. Something like #HitchedAtHortPark or #SamJanice0810
How about a theme?
Like everything that will go in cohesion with your wedding theme, so can your hashtag! If you are having a fairytale themed garden wedding, the hashtag could be #LimsGardenParty. A suitable hashtag that fits the theme could be the icing on top of the cake.
