When planning a wedding, there are a lot of things to put into consideration.
Apart from a good caterer, a proper DJ and a great MC, one aspect of weddings that has become popular is the wedding hashtag.
Whether you like it or not, wedding hashtags are here to stay and they are not so bad afterall, considering the fact that with them, you get to see your wedding through your guests’ eyes.
However, creating your own unique wedding hashtag can be a little difficult that you might want to resign to the first thing that comes to your mind.
These tips will help you choose a unique wedding hashtag;
Do Not Use Long Hashtags
#Whohastimetobereadingsomethingthatlongandboring
Make Sure You Are Not Hijacking Another Person’s Hashtag
Check to make sure the hashtag has not been used for another wedding. Switch yours up by a letter or number so that yours differs slightly.
Add Your Names
Remember how your friends jokingly mashed up your name and your significant other’s? Yeah, consider that. Mashing up first, last or nick names will help ensure there is only one hashtag for your wedding. For Instance, Olaoluwa and Adeyomi can become #OlaYomi. You can also use your surname, if you both will become Mr & Mrs Adetona, you can use #MeettheAdetonas.
Use Your Wedding Theme
If you don’t like the idea of using your names, you can think of something that resonates with your wedding theme. For instance #TheCathedralWedding.
Capitalize the First Letter Of Each Word
This will aid readability so that your guests get the pun/joke.
Funmi And Deji = #FuJI
Stay Away From Hashtags That Can Be Spelt Wrongly
Instead of #OlaandAde, use #AdeAndOla. It’s really that simple.
Set Your Hashtag Apart With Numbers
For example, instead of #TSquared, you could use #Tsquared18 because there can be another #TSquared the following month.
Avoid Symbols & Spaces
A good wedding hashtag consists of any combination of the 26 letters of the alphabet and numbers. Symbols or spaces will cut the hashtag.
In addition, put your wedding hashtag every where possible on your wedding IV, on your wedding website and very importantly, on the food menu!
