A good wedding hashtag is short, unique and easy to spell: usually your names or surname with a word like "wedding", "ever after" or the year, such as #HappilyEverBennett or #SarahAndTom2027. Type your names below for a list of ideas, then search each one on Instagram to check nobody else has used it.

How to choose a wedding hashtag
- Keep it short. Under 25 characters is easy to type and read on a sign.
- Make it unique. Search it on Instagram and TikTok first; if another couple has used it, add your year or a second word.
- Check how it reads. Capitalise each word (#TheBennetts2027) and read it aloud, so nobody gets an unfortunate double meaning.
- Use one. A single hashtag on every sign beats three competing ones.
Where to put it
On your wedding website, the invitations, a sign at the reception and the table cards. Put it next to the QR code for sharing photos, so guests know where to post publicly and where to share everything else.
Why a hashtag isn't enough on its own
A hashtag only gathers public posts from guests who use social media, and it can't give you the full-quality originals. Guests with private accounts, and everyone who'd rather not post, are left out. A QR code photo-sharing page collects every guest's photos and videos in full quality, so many couples use both: the hashtag for social posts, the QR code for the album.

Questions people ask
How do I make a wedding hashtag?
Start with your surname or both first names, then add a word like "wedding", "ever after" or the year. Keep it short, check the spelling reads clearly, and search it on Instagram to make sure it's not already in use.
Should we have a wedding hashtag?
It's a nice touch if your guests post publicly, but it only gathers public posts and you can't download the full-quality originals. Pair it with a QR code photo-sharing page to collect everyone's photos, including from guests with private accounts.
How do we check a hashtag isn't taken?
Search it on Instagram and TikTok. If it already has posts from another couple, add your year or a second word to make it yours.
Where should we put our wedding hashtag?
On your wedding website, the invitations, a sign at the reception and the table cards, ideally next to the QR code for sharing photos.
