Are you doing or did you do a wedding hashtag for your special day? I personally think it is a wonderful way for you and your guests to group all your candid photos together but before you jump into it, here are some things to consider.
- Come up with a unique name! Make sure you double check your hashtag on social media sites to see if it has been used by any other couples. When you want to relive the best day ever, you aren't going to want to filter through 10 other couples who have used the same hashtag for their special day.
- Keep it simple! Try to limit the amount of characters you use - this is harder than it looks! You don't want your guests to misspell your hashtag and not be able to find the pictures and or phrases at a later time.
- Start using your wedding hashtag early so your guests get used to seeing it! Having an engagement party? Use your hashtag when posting pictures on Instagram or Tweeting comments about the evening. Have some exciting wedding news that you want to share? Use that hashtag! Consider putting it on your Save the Dates.
- Bonus: If your guests know it exists, they might start using it before the wedding which will save it in their phone for easy access on the day of!
- Make sure to promote your hashtag on the day of the wedding. Make a sign to sit on a table or have personalized napkins made to pass around during cocktail hour.

To hashtag or not to hashtag..that is the question!

Our hashtag took a little bit of trial and error. Trying to fit in Mikayla & Aravind or our new 16 letter last name definitely wouldn't work. I considered using the first 3 letters of my last name and the first 3 letters of his last name but I wasn't loving the way it looked. I stopped trying to make it clever and just went with the facts - A(ravind), M(ikayla) and it's a wedding happening in 2015!
I'm looking forward to sharing bits and pieces of my wedding with all of you through my social posts!
