Question 1

What makes a good wedding hashtag?

Accepted Answer

A great wedding hashtag is short (under 20 characters), easy to spell and remember, unique to your wedding, and ideally includes both partners' names or a clever combination. It should use CamelCase for readability (like #SmithAndJones2025) and be checked on social media platforms to ensure it's not already widely used.

Question 2

How do I check if my wedding hashtag is already taken?

Accepted Answer

Search your chosen hashtag on Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter/X to see if it's already in use. If another couple has used it extensively, consider adding your wedding year, a clever variation, or a completely different approach. Our generator includes direct links to check each hashtag on Instagram.

Question 3

Should I use numbers in my wedding hashtag?

Accepted Answer

Adding your wedding year (like #SmithJones2025) can make your hashtag more unique and help distinguish it from others. However, avoid using numbers that could be misread or mistyped, like using "2" for "to" or "4" for "for," as this can confuse guests.

Question 4

How many wedding hashtags should I have?

Accepted Answer

One main hashtag is ideal. Having multiple hashtags splits your photos across different tags, making it harder to find all your wedding content later. If you really want variety, pick one primary hashtag and perhaps one backup that redirects to the same content.

Question 5

When should I share my wedding hashtag with guests?

Accepted Answer

Start sharing your hashtag early! Include it on save-the-dates, wedding invitations, and your wedding website. At the venue, display it on welcome signs, table cards, and photo booth props. The more guests see it, the more likely they are to use it.

Question 6

What if our names don't work well together for a hashtag?

Accepted Answer

Not all name combinations create perfect wordplay, and that's okay! You can use nicknames, last names only, first names only, or get creative with themes like your wedding location, date, or how you met. Our AI generator explores multiple approaches to find options that work.

Question 7

Should my wedding hashtag include special characters or emojis?

Accepted Answer

No. Hashtags can only contain letters and numbers (no spaces, punctuation, or special characters). Emojis are technically not part of hashtags and can cause issues on some platforms. Keep it simple with letters and numbers only.

Question 8

How do I capitalize my wedding hashtag correctly?

Accepted Answer

Use CamelCase, where you capitalize the first letter of each word (like #ForeverSmith or #JonesWedding2025). This makes your hashtag much easier to read and prevents embarrassing misreadings that can happen when everything is lowercase.

Question 9

Can I change my wedding hashtag after I've shared it?

Accepted Answer

While it's possible, it's not recommended. Once guests start using a hashtag, changing it means some photos will be under the old tag and some under the new one. If you must change it, update all your materials and clearly communicate the new hashtag to guests.

Question 10

What should I do with my wedding hashtag after the wedding?

Accepted Answer

After your wedding, search your hashtag to collect and save all the photos and videos guests shared. You can create a shared album, use a service that aggregates hashtag content, or manually download your favorites. Many couples cherish these candid guest perspectives alongside their professional photos.

Question 11

Do I need a wedding hashtag if I'm having a small wedding?

Accepted Answer

A hashtag is still valuable for intimate weddings! Even with fewer guests, it makes it easy to collect and find all the photos from your day in one place. Plus, it's a fun way to build excitement leading up to your wedding.

Question 12

How does the AI generate wedding hashtags?

Accepted Answer

Our AI analyzes your names and any additional details you provide, then creates hashtags using various techniques: combining names creatively, finding rhymes and alliteration, creating puns and wordplay, incorporating your wedding date, and suggesting different styles from elegant to playful.
