From cute puns to a romantic play on words, wedding hashtags are one of the biggest wedding trends to emerge over the past few years. It's such a fun & creative way to involve your wedding guests in celebrating your special day.
So, you've decided to open your wedding day up and allow guests to remain "plugged in" but with any trend, there’s always the inevitable backlash and “unplugged” ceremonies are also increasingly popular as a response to the amount of people who have their phones out during the vow exchange. If you find yourself sitting on the fence with this one, here's 5 reasons to get on board:
1. It gets guests involved
Use your hashtag from the get-go and allow guests to follow your journey all the way from planning the big day to walking up the aisle.
2. Track your pictures
It's inevitable that your guests will be Tweeting, Instagramming and Facebooking left, right and centre and, with your hashtag, you're left with a ready-made photo album. Sure, you have a professional photographer, but nothing is as heartwarming as the carefree expressions of your friends and family after 10 of their favourite tipple.
3. Modern-day guestbook
Really a follow-on from the above point, but a personalised hashtag can be used as a modern-day guestbook. Encourage guests to tweet, Instagram and Facebook their messages of support.
4. Show off your married name
Dying to get using your married name? Make it part of your wedding hashtag and start using it straight away!
5. An opportunity for some cute signage
I LOVE signage. And in my opinion, any reason for some more signage is a good reason. Inform your guests of your hashtag and remind them throughout the reception with various forms of incredible cute signage.
