How to Create a Unique Wedding Hashtag

A personal wedding hashtag makes it easy for guests to share photos and for you to find them all later.

Formula options:

• #LastnameWedding2026, #SmithWedding2026
• #TheNewLastnames, #TheNewSmiths
• #FirstNameLovesFirstName, #JohnLovesJane
• #LastnamePartyOfTwo, #SmithPartyOfTwo
• #LastnameSaidIDo, #SmithSaidIDo

Tips for your hashtag:

• Check it first, search the hashtag on Instagram to make sure it's not already used
• Keep it short, easy to remember and type
• Make it readable, capitalize each word: #SmithJonesWedding not #smithjoneswedding
• Avoid special characters, hashtags only support letters and numbers
• Share it everywhere, put it on invitations, table cards, the wedding website, and signage

FAQ

How many hashtags should I use on a wedding post?

For personal wedding photos, 10-20 hashtags plus your unique wedding hashtag works well. Wedding photographers and vendors can go higher (20-30). Instagram's @Creators account has recommended 3-5, but many wedding accounts still see good results with more. Test what works for your posts.

Should I create a custom wedding hashtag?

Yes. A personal hashtag like #SmithWedding2026 makes it easy for guests to tag their photos and for you to find them all in one place after the wedding. Search it on Instagram first to make sure nobody else is using it.

Where should I put hashtags - caption or first comment?

Either works. Instagram has said both locations get the same distribution. Most wedding photographers put them in the first comment to keep captions clean. Personal accounts often just add them at the end of the caption.

Can I use the same wedding hashtags on every post?

It's better to rotate them. Use general wedding hashtags on some posts, engagement-specific ones on engagement photos, and honeymoon hashtags on travel content. Rotating helps you reach different audiences and avoids looking spammy.

Do wedding hashtags actually help people find my photos?

Yes, but mostly smaller and medium-sized hashtags. Mega hashtags like #wedding (with hundreds of millions of posts) move too fast for most posts to stay visible. Niche tags like #backyardwedding or #intimatewedding give you a much better chance of being found.
