Clemonds shares five tips for creating the best wedding hashtag for yourself and your fiancé. Tap into Your Network of Creative Minds Online generators will pump out wedding hashtag ideas after you type in your names and wedding date. But it's likely to be generic, like MrandMrsSmith, etc. Instead, brainstorm with the ones who know you best. Start with a Facebook post inviting everyone to share ideas and start a wedding hashtag list. The creativity from your crew just might surprise you. Start by writing down your and your fiancé's first and last names and your wedding date. Then play around with different words. Clemonds says her biggest tip is to embrace alliteration. Make It Memorable In order for all of the photos to get tagged appropriately, ensure the hashtag is at the tip of guests' fingertips as they're typing their captions. For example, a couple that married on July 11 used ThankHeavenfor711. How's that for easy to remember? Stay Away from Hard-to-Spell Words Let's say your fiancé has a long, complicated last name. Your side of the family, who isn't as familiar with the name, will likely have trouble spelling it. You'll end up with tons of misspelled hashtags attached to photos you may never see. Spread the Word Coming up with the perfect hashtag is only step one. Drive it home by printing your hashtag somewhere your guests will see it—like on the bottom of your ceremony programs or on cocktail napkins at the bar. And once you've settled on your hashtag, don't be afraid to use it.
