How to pick the right wedding hashtag

  1. Keep it under about 25 characters. Guests type it on a phone, one-handed, holding a drink.
  2. Capitalize every word. #TheHarrisonsSayIDo reads instantly; #theharrisonssayido does not.
  3. Search it before you print it. Check Instagram and TikTok — if the tag already has posts, add your year or city.
  4. Avoid tricky spellings. If people have to ask how to spell your surname, use first names instead.
  5. Show it three times on the day. Welcome sign, table cards, and the bar. Repetition is what actually gets it used.

Where to use your hashtag

Save-the-dates and invitations, your wedding website, the welcome sign, escort cards, cocktail napkins, the photo-booth backdrop, and the last slide of any slideshow. Add it to the bottom of the ceremony program so guests see it before phones come out.

Bachelorette and shower spin-offs

Use a variation of the same tag so everything stays connected — add Bach, the destination, or LastFling. If you're still planning the weekend, our bachelorette budget calculator and 50 bachelorette party themes are the fastest place to start.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good wedding hashtag?
Short, easy to spell, and unique. Aim for under 25 characters, capitalize each word so it reads clearly, and search it on Instagram first to make sure no one else is using it.
How do I check if my wedding hashtag is taken?
Type it into the Instagram and TikTok search bars. If it returns hundreds of unrelated posts, tweak it — add your wedding year, your city, or an extra word.
Should I include the year in my wedding hashtag?
Yes, if the base version is already in use. Adding the full year or last two digits is the easiest way to make a common surname combination unique.
Where should we display our wedding hashtag?
Save-the-dates, the wedding website, a welcome sign at the entrance, table cards, cocktail napkins, and the bar. Guests need to see it at least twice before they use it.
Do we need a separate hashtag for the bachelorette party?
It helps. A short spin-off — like your main tag plus 'Bach' or the destination — keeps party photos separate from wedding-day photos.
