The advent of social media has added some twists to wedding planning. Couples have to develop hashtags to go with their wedding theme. Some might think it is unnecessary but it really it. Asides from allowing the couple to trend on social media, it is a form of branding and good for identification purposes. They can trace all activities of their special day with their unique hashtag and even link it with people.
There is nothing wrong with having a wedding hashtag, it is one of the fun things to spice of the glorious day. Are you brainstorming on the right hashtag to use? The following tips has got you covered:
1. Use your names
This is the surest and easiest place to start from. Make a list of first names, last names, maybe even middle names, nicknames. You don’t have to use first letters, any cute combination is cool.
2. Play with words
This is time to get creative and probably infuse humour. You can use synonyms, rhymes or inside jokes, a sentence then you add them to your names or initials. Eg: #thebbfshow
3. Capitalise each word
Another way to increase legibility and comprehension of your hashtag is to capitalize each word, ensuring that your creativity and sense of humor is appreciated. If anyone forgets the capitals, at least your hashtag will still pull photos.
4. Add numbers
When the couple share the same names, it can be hard finding the right hashtag. You can add some numbers e.g the year of your wedding or random string of numbers that mean something to you e.g #BAAD18
5. Be in order
Get a shortlist and scan your options for potential typos, spelling mistakes, and general confusion. Avoid same letters next to each other. You can swap the order of names e.g #BARAANDBAMBI to avoid duplicate letters.
6. Use hashtag generator
A hashtag generator is a tool that helps you find suitable hashtags when you input your names and the year of the wedding. It just plays around with the letters and finds nice words. Keep trying different names until you find one suitable.
7. Cross check for misspelling
Ensure your hashtag has easy spelling in order to avoid misspelling. When you come up with your hashtags, crosscheck obvious ways that it can be misspelled or it can get confusing to make corrections.
