How to Create Your Wedding Hashtag

There are a number of ways to personalize your wedding hashtag, and depending on your first and last names, where your celebration will take place, and the theme of your day, the difficulty of creating a hashtag that makes sense and can be truly your own varies from couple to couple. Brides and grooms with uncommon names often have an easier time crafting a hashtag, while those with more traditional names may need to get creative!

To help inspire your own wedding hashtag, we've gathered some of our favorites from real weddings and grouped them into the "type" of hashtag they fall into. Take a look below, and be sure to click on each image to see more from these celebrations!

Last Name
Many couples choose to create their hashtag around their new shared last name. Something as simple as #MeetThe[Insert Last Name] could work well, or try incorporating another word that's meaningful for you as a couple or one that describes your celebration.

Combination of Names
Whether you choose to combine your two last names in a clever way – like #MARRYitFoulger (below) for Elyse Marriott & Douglas Foulger's wedding, select something more simple such as #MaxAndHil, or use a celebrity-style merger of your names such as #IsabElliot, this is a fun hashtag style that guests love and will be excited to share!

Play on Words
Couples who have last names that can make a clever play on words often create some of the most unique hashtags. This often allows photos from their wedding to be the only images on the hashtag page. If you can do something like this – we recommend it! Some of our couples have used their new last name as inspiration, such as the Khangs with #KHANGratulations, the Bigotts with #WeGOTTBigLove, and the Beggs with #BEGGinningForever.

How They Met
Other brides and grooms decide to incorporate a hashtag that explains a bit about their relationship, such as how they first met. For example, Sarah and Jason met on a popular dating app, so their personalized wedding hashtag was #SandJSwipedRight.

Inspired by the Venue
Particularly popular for destination weddings, some pairs choose to incorporate both their last name and the location where they will be saying "I do." For example, the Hartmans wed in Aspen and created the #IHartAspen hashtag for their welcome bags, while the Justices exchanged vows on the James River and used the hashtag #JusticeOnTheJames.
