Social media is a super-fun way to share your photos with friends and family, so no wonder couples are using it to document their big day by providing a custom hashtag!
As if you didn’t know, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and a zillion other apps allow you to spread the love to everyone, including editing features that transform your fast photos into pretty snazzy snapshots.
And when some of your tech-savvy guests upload pictures of your wedding with the custom hashtags, it allows all of the images to be searchable and stored in one place– allowing you and your significant other to get a look at all of moments of the big day.
Most couples who create hashtags use ones that are unique to their wedding. They combine their names and dates or whatever unique phrase they come up with that incorporates their last name, and some of them are pretty hilarious.
If you’re interested in joing the trend, just make sure your hashtag hasn’t been used before by testing it out in the “Explore” tab on the app. Then, let your guests know through all of your signage, invites and special programs.
