Wedding Hashtag Ideas
1.Making a contest for your wedding guests
Having a contest during your engagement party or bridal shower party is a great way to create original creative hashtags for weddings. Not only will it be fun with you and your significant other to see what your family thinks is a clever wedding hashtag and what funny wedding hashtags they might create, it’s a no-brainer you’re going get so many options and laughs! Or maybe you want a cute wedding hashtag, your family and friends can help you here as well. Depending on how crafty you are you can decorate a box for hashtag entries, but a mason jar will also do the trick!
If your family is competitive, you can award the winner with a gift card or give the hashtag creator a shout out on your wedding website!
2. Use an Online Generator
Below are links to a few generators to help create your hashtag. Generators usually produce generic hashtags so if you want anything personal this may not be the best wedding hashtag option for you!
3. Find a Freelancer
Yes I know what you are thinking, you can get paid to make hashtags? The answer is yes! This option is surprisingly popular. Depending on the company you use you can get a custom hashtag within a week! Below are companies who specialize in hashtag making.
-
- Wedding Hashers is a website that only creates hashtags for your big day! There are 3 options to choose from, prices range from $19.99 to 39.99, but you only pay if you decide to use their hashtag!
- Fiverr is a great place to find freelance services for everything you can imagine!
Once you have a hashtag make sure that they are easy to remember, the shorter and easier they are the more likely guests will use it. Having a fun or cute hashtag will make it more likely for your guests to remember as well. The easier it is to write, the faster it is to get back on the dance floor! Another tip is to make sure your hashtag has not been used already! Even though this is rare, it could happen and unless you want to share a hashtag with another wedding you might want to check and double check on all social media platforms.
