Hey brides, instead of reinventing the wheel, we found this awesome article on theknot.com. We hope that you enjoy! Yes, we know creating a wedding hashtag is a no-brainer way to round up all the wedding photos your guests will take on your day. But as if brainstorming creative hashtag ideas isn’t hard enough already, making sure guests know about it and use it can prove even more challenging. While hashtags can appear early on to alert guests of their existence (think: save-the-date cards), they can quickly be forgotten by your wedding day. Here are some creative ways to display your hashtag so that it’s known and used—#winning.
1. Wedding Program
If you’re skipping individual programs and opting for one display to showcase your bridal party members and ceremony itinerary, you should definitely consider using it as the place to also feature your hashtag. After all, it’s one thing that your guests will pay attention to!
