creating #hastag for wedding

With social media ruling the world there are many creative ways to get great pictures from your wedding to save for all your days by none other than your guest. With the megapixels that these new smart phones have and photo filter apps you might get a whole slew of professional pictures for FREE. We are still having a photographer but for those brides who don't have anyone def use this method. And there is an instagram app where you can order your pics and cards with your pic and framed pics.  The future makes things so convenient

Here is an article that tells you a few facts about creating the perfect hastag for your wedding.

Be creative – but not too creative
Many couples choose to combine two of the following to create their hashtag: first names, last name, initials, date/year, and wedding location to create their hashtag. Examples include: #susanandjoe, #smithwedding2014, #juliejordannyc, and more. You can also poke fun at your name in your hashtag, but just make sure it’s not too much of an inside joke. Keep it catchy!
Keep it short
You want your wedding hashtag to be easy to remember, so keep yours to around 15 to 20 characters. This might stifle your creativity a bit, but it’s important that your guests actually use your hashtag!
Make sure it works
Avoid including characters other than letters or numbers in your hashtags - no spaces, punctuation or symbols, please! So #n&b2014 won’t work, but #nandb2014 would. Also, your hashtag cannot consist only of numbers on Twitter. It’s a good idea to test out your hashtag before your wedding to make sure it works.
Aim for unique
There are lots of hashtags out there and there is a likelihood that the wedding hashtag you think is totally unique may have been used before. While that’s not a total dealbreaker, you might want to type your ideal hashtag into your favorite social media platforms to make sure it’s not too popular. But if you can be the only ones to use your wedding hashtag, all the better.
Tell your guests
In order for your hashtag to be useful, your guests need to know about it! Post it on your wedding website, include a note in your ceremony programs, and display signs during the reception (check out some creative ideas here!).
