What the wedding hashtag generator does
Enter a few details and the tool mixes them into hashtag ideas using patterns that work well for weddings: alliteration, playful puns on your surname, your wedding year, and joined names with "and". You get more than 20 suggestions in one go, ready to copy.
A good wedding hashtag gives guests one simple tag for all their photos, so you can find every picture from your big day in one place on social media.
How to create your wedding hashtag
- Enter both first names. Use the names your friends actually call you – nicknames often make the best hashtags.
- Enter your surname. Add the shared surname, or both surnames if you're keeping your own.
- Add the wedding date or year. The year is useful when a popular idea is already taken.
- Add optional extra words, such as the place you're getting married or a hobby you share.
- Press Generate to see 20+ ideas.
- Copy one or copy all and share your favorites with your partner.
Ways to use your wedding hashtags
Save-the-dates and invitations
Print the hashtag at the bottom of your save-the-dates so guests know it early. They'll use it for engagement photos, travel plans and countdown posts.
Signs at the venue
A small sign at the entrance, on each table or by the photo booth reminds guests to tag their pictures. Keep the hashtag short so it's easy to read from across the room.
Collecting guests' photos
After the wedding, search your hashtag on the photo-sharing apps you use to find candid shots you'd otherwise never see.
Engagement parties and pre-wedding events
Use the same hashtag, or a playful variation, for showers, parties and the rehearsal dinner. It ties every celebration together.
Your wedding website and thank-you cards
Add the hashtag to your wedding website and mention it in thank-you notes so guests can find the photos again.
Tips for a great wedding hashtag
- Check that it's unused. Before you print anything, search the hashtag on the social media apps you and your guests use. If it's already popular, add your year, initials or venue.
- Capitalize each word. #MeetTheRiveras is much easier to read than #meettheriveras, and screen readers say it more clearly.
- Leave out punctuation. Apostrophes, hyphens and spaces break a hashtag, so stick to letters and numbers.
- Keep it short. Aim for something guests can still remember after a long night of dancing.
- Say it out loud and read it slowly. Make sure the joined-up words don't accidentally spell something you didn't mean.
- Pick one main hashtag. Guests are more likely to use it if there's only one to remember.
Questions
How do I create a wedding hashtag?
Enter both first names, your surname and the wedding date, then press Generate. Pick the idea you both like best and check it isn't already in use.
What makes a good wedding hashtag?
It's short, easy to spell, unique to you, and fun to say. Your names or surname make it personal, and the year helps make it unique.
What if our favorite hashtag is already taken?
Add the wedding year, your initials or the place you're getting married. You can also add an extra word and generate a fresh set of wedding hashtags.
Should we use both of our surnames?
It's up to you. If you're each keeping your own surname, enter both and the ideas will draw on each of them.
Do capital letters matter in a hashtag?
On most social media, capital letters don't change which posts a hashtag finds. They do make it much easier to read, so capitalize each word.
When should we share our wedding hashtag?
As early as your save-the-dates or wedding website, so guests use it for every event, not just the big day.
