Social media has such a major impact on our everyday lives, especially for the special events that take place. In the past, brides and grooms had to wait for weeks or months to see professional images of their wedding. They depended on their guests to take pictures with disposable cameras or film cameras so that they could catch a glimpse of their big day from the eyes of their audience. That is certainly no longer the case! The emergence of websites and apps such as facebook and instagram have led to instant picture sharing that removes the issue of time. One way in particular to ensure that your wedding pictures are collected in one place for easy viewing is to incorporate a hashtag. The hashtag serves as an identifying marker for the sites and apps to organize and collect pictures. If you are considering creating a hashtag for your wedding or special event, consider the following tips for creating your wedding hashtag.
1. Easy to remember. Make sure your hashtag is simple enough or catchy enough for everyone to remember. You do not want your guests storing your pictures under the wrong hashtags!
2. Test it out. Before you tell everyone what your event's hashtag is going to be, make sure you test it out to make sure it has not been used before.
3. Be creative. Use words that clearly connect your hashtag to your wedding or event. If your wedding is themed, include a word that ties it all together.
4. Use your names. Find a creative way to incorporate your names in the hashtag. This will also help your guests to remember the correct hashtag and to easily locate it on the apps.
5. Incorporate numbers. Use numbers such as your wedding date or the year to set your hashtag apart.
6. Get clever! Use puns, acronyms, rhymes etc. They are cool and interesting ways to make your hashtag catchy and easy to remember.
7. Capitalize the letters of each word. This well ensure that your guests can clearly identify the different words in your hashtag without mistaking it for another word.
8. Check your spelling! One of the most common and easiest mistakes is to misspell a word of your hashtag. Make sure to double check the spelling before you communicate anything about your hashtag to anyone.
9. Keep it simple. It is so easy to overthink things and overly complicate your hashtag. Give yourself and your guests a break and keep it simple!
10. Tell everyone! You can spread the news about your hashtag via social media, announcements, invitations, save the dates, etc. Make sure that you use the hashtag in all of your wedding related posts and watch how quickly it catches on! Also be sure that your bridal party starts the trend with other wedding related events such as bridal showers and bachelorette parties.
