Wedding hashtag generator

Leave this empty if you share a last name. Hyphenated names work.

For example 2027, June 2027 or 2027-06-12.

For example Tuscany, Brooklyn or Boho.

Wedding hashtag ideas by style

The generator combines your details using patterns couples often choose:

  • Your names: #EmmaAndNoah, #EmmaWedsNoah, #TeamEmmaAndNoah.
  • Your last name and year: #CarterWedding2027, #TheCarters2027.
  • Puns: #HappilyEverCarter, #TyingTheCarterKnot, #MeetTheCarters, and wordplay for last names such as Hart, Bell or King.
  • Wedding phrases: tie the knot, get hitched and say I do, added to your names.
  • Alliteration: a word that starts with the same letter, such as #CarterCelebration.
  • Two last names: #CarterMeetsLopez and both names joined together.
  • Date, place or theme: your wedding month, a place such as Tuscany or a theme word.

The patterns are gender-neutral. Accents are removed (Zoë becomes Zoe), apostrophes are dropped (O’Brien becomes OBrien) and each word starts with a capital letter. Very long combinations are left out because they’re hard to read on a sign.

How to choose your wedding hashtag

  1. Check that it’s unused. Search for it on Instagram and TikTok before you print anything. If strangers’ posts come up, add the year, a place or your initials.
  2. Keep it short and easy to spell. Say it out loud. If guests would ask how to spell it, choose another. Nicknames often work better than full names.
  3. Read it in lower case too. Hashtags ignore capitals, so words can run together into something you didn’t mean.
  4. Pick one. A single hashtag keeps every post in one place.
  5. Write it with capitals. #HappilyEverCarter is easier to read than #happilyevercarter.

Where to put your hashtag

Guests use the hashtag they can see. Put it on your wedding website and invitations, on a welcome sign, and on table cards or the bar menu. Mention it in the message you send after the wedding as well.

What a hashtag can and can’t collect

A hashtag gathers only what guests post publicly. Posts from private accounts don’t appear under it, and neither do photos shared in disappearing stories or group chats, or left on someone’s phone.

Each platform has its own hashtag results, so Instagram and TikTok posts stay apart. Social apps also store compressed copies, so what you find is rarely the photo the guest took, and you’d still have to ask for each file.

Many guests never post at all. They take photos for themselves, and those photos stay in their camera roll.

Collect the photos themselves with a QR album

Keep the hashtag for the public, social side of the day. For the photos, give guests one shared album they open from a QR code on the table, and put the hashtag and the QR code on the same sign.

Guests open the album in their browser without installing an app or creating an account. By default, people with the shared link or QR code can view its photos while the album is active. A link can be forwarded, and recipients can save copies.

Guests upload the photos from their phones, not compressed social-media copies, within these limits:

Your Free album holds up to 100 photos in total and stays available for 14 days from its first successful upload. No payment card needed. Videos are not included.

Photos are normally optimised to at most 4,000 pixels on the longest edge. Keep the camera originals separately if you need untouched files, larger prints or room for substantial cropping.

For sign wording, see QR signs and wording. For invitations and reminders, see the guest-photo checklist.

Questions and answers

It’s short, easy to spell, readable at a glance and not used by anyone else. Most good ones combine your names or last name with a wedding word or the year, such as #EmmaAndNoah or #CarterWedding2027.
