Creative Hashtag Ideas
Classic Phrases
A tried and tested way to create a personalized wedding hashtag is to use you name. You can use alterations or rhymes and even though everybody might be doing it, it is still cute and not cheesy at all. Here are some examples:
- #SoonToBeTheSmiths
- #BecommingTheBenners
- #PerfectlyPetersons
- #LoughlinsInLove
Use the Location
If you are having a destination wedding or there is a location that means something to you both as a couple (a place you met), it is a good idea to include it:
- #HitchedInHouston
- #MorgansInMexico
- #TogetherWeRome
Personal Touch
The wedding is ultimately about you two, so it makes perfect sense to use a hashtag that is cute and complimentary to your relationship. Take something specific about you as a couple, you can use things like your couple name, your history, how you met, what are you known for as a couple etc. Here are couple of ideas:
Use Puns
Hashtags based on a pun are the most difficult to come up with, but they are also most fun and most memorable ones for sure. Start with your names and rely on rhymes and idioms to create one-of-a-kind hashtag for your wedding. You might get a few eye-rolls from some of the guests, but is you love puns, we say – go for it! These few examples can serve as inspiration:
- #ToHaveAndToHolman
- #MatzMadeInHeaven
- #ToTheMoonAndBackman
- #SayYesToTheKress

Tips for creating your own wedding hashtags
Make it unique – You have to make sure that no one else has the same hashtag, or your photos are going to get mixed up with someone else’s. Which can lead to a lot of confusion, and just really spoil the fun. So anything too generic, like #lovebirds, is a no-go.
Make it easy to remember – A long hashtag is not only hard to remember, but it’s a pain for guests to type. Also, if you have a long name that’s often misspelled, try a shortened version or a nickname in your hashtag. Or use only the initials of your names, for example #JandMSayIDo
Be punny – Wedding hashtags should be all about having fun, so use puns and inside jokes to create something really personal. Look for alliterations, synonyms and puns that will make you hashtag both clever and memorable.
Spread the word – When you’ve settled on the perfect Instagram hashtag, you have to get the word out. Print your hashtags somewhere your guests will see it: include it on invitations, ceremony programs and menus, or get a custom sign or prop made. Chalkboard signs work well too and you don’t have to order them too far in advance.
Your to-do list of wedding tasks is probably already long and overwhelming and last thing you want is to add another item to it. But choosing your wedding hashtag is fun and it will all be worth it! When your guests use your hashtag on everything they post from your wedding day, you can create a curated social media photo album of your guests’ photos.
