4 Wedding Hashtag Tips
Last week, meanwhile catching up on my Instagram feed, I got inspired to share this blog post after seeing @ohmydesigns_' cute Etsy hashtag signs shown below. As a Wedding Coordinator, and even just a wedding guest, I've seen countless of times when guests don't know which hashtag to use, so below are four wedding hashtag tips for you to maximize the use of your #weddinghashtag.
1. Choose a Wedding Hashtag
Before you can promote it, you need to pick one. A hashtag is valuable because if wedding guests actually use them, you will be able to easily find all the photos they took on your social channels. If you are having trouble coming up with ideas, Wedding Hashtag Wall and Wedding Wire have hashtag generator tools that can help you brainstorm.
2. Promote Your Hashtag Before the Wedding
Think of it as a marketing tactic: The more your guests see the hashtag before the wedding, the easier it will be for them to remember it during the wedding. You can add it to your:
Save the date
Wedding website
Pre-wedding event invitations
Guests' welcome bags
3. Use Your Own Hashtag
Use your hashtag throughout your engagement as you post photos in social channels.
4. Promote Your Hashtag During the Wedding
Finally refresh your guests' memory by having little hashtag reminders around the venue.
At the bottom of ceremony programs and menus
Little signs at highboy tables during cocktail hour
Signs at gift/guestbook tables or at the bar
On personalized cocktail napkins
On your wedding favors
