How to create your own wedding hashtag!

Your wedding hashtag is like a social diary and way to keep track of all the photos that your bridal party and guests take along the journey. 

You may be wondering, “how do I make my own wedding hashtag? Usually the hashtag is a play on the couple’s names or a creative turn of phrase, but if you’re at a loss for what your hashtag should be here are some ideas for creating a unique and fun hashtag.

• Make sure it isn’t taken already, if you are set on one that is taken try adding numbers, dashes or other symbols to it to make it work.

• Capitalise each separate word so it can be read clearly.

• Steer clear of words that are easily misspelled, if the last name you want to use is super long then try a nickname or cute abbreviation.

• Get punny and creative—everyone loves a good play on words.
