What is a hashtag ? #DecideUse it
A hashtag is a label that is used to group all the posts of a single topic. The same hashtag can be used on all social networks to view and upload photos, videos and posts . Anyone can create them! You just need to add the number sign or cat (#) before the phrase of your choice without spaces: a tag is automatically generated and recognized in social network search engines.
A hashtag allows the couple and their guests to share all their wedding-related content in real-time – they’ll just have to search or follow your hashtag for all posts to appear! Plus, it’s a fun way to title your wedding and convey your personality .
How to create it? #Easy and simple
The simpler your label, the easier it will be to use. The best way to find your perfect hashtag is to make several proposals . Start your list of possible hashtags with the most basic elements, for example: the names of the couple, their initials, the date of the wedding , the abbreviation of the state of the Republic where they are getting married or the year of the wedding. Since this is the core information of your event, combining your names with one or two other words may be enough to make the tag work.
Be creative #FindYourStyle
If the simple tags you had planned have already been used or you want to get creative with your hashtag , start by adding some meaningful words to your names. “Love”, “magic”, “always”, “party”, and “happy” are infallible options. They can also use keywords , such as the theme color of the wedding (#LaBodaEsPink, #ÉlYYoAzulado, #EllaYYoEnVerde), the season (#NosotrosEnOtoño, #NosotrasEnPrimavera) or the special location they chose: beach, forest, garden, or any other . Many couples add the word “wedding” to specify the meaning of the hashtag , but they can also find other ways of making the reference, such as “B-day”, “big day” or “we say yes”.
If you want to include a short love thought in your hashtag , abbreviate the information using only your initials. In this way they can use more characters to form puns with movie or song titles , such as #AyBDíaDeJanuary, #HabíaUnaVezXyY, #AyBEnLlamas, #IremosJuntosXyX, #XyYLunaAzul, #DiarioDeAmorXyX, or #AyBIntensmente.
If you want to be even more playful, choose a single first or last name: #LaGranBodaApellido #SrYSraApellido. You can combine your first names, use one and the other’s last name or words like “shine”, “rock” or “love each other” to give your label the style you want.
A task for the ladies and best men #TodxsJuntxs
Once you have a preliminary list, it’s time to convene your creative team . Bridesmaids and best men can contribute many ideas to this field: hashtags are so popular that they are even in the daily speech of the youngest (# Así Pasa). Whether to decide on the definitive one, to ask for suggestions or to spread the hashtag , your help will be key.
Don’t get complicated #SinSufrir
Keep in mind that the easier to type and clearer to read your hashtag , the more used it will be. The most important thing is that the couple feels comfortable using it. Preferably, use simple words in Spanish and avoid using many numbers: this will reduce the risk of making mistakes when writing it.
Unless all accounts using the same hashtag are private, anyone can use the hashtags . If you don’t feel comfortable with these conditions, create a wedding album on Wedshoots
Follow the basic rules #ElHashtagIdeal
The labels were created on Twitter when its writing limit was 140 characters, so the hashtag had to be a maximum of twelve letters so that there was room to write a message. With the modification of the social network to 280 characters , hashtags of up to sixteen characters can be used. However, they should try to keep it as short as possible so that it is easy to remember.
As hashtags do not allow spaces, it is important that they start each word with a capital letter to separate them from each other. They can use accent marks in hashtags , but they can’t use punctuation marks to create emojis.
It is very important that your hashtag has never been used before , so that your posts do not get mixed up with other content. To verify it, they only have to look for it in the social networks that they are going to occupy.
