A hashtag is a nice touch. It's a bad filing system.
Put it on the invitations by all means. Just don't make it the plan for getting your photos back, because it asks every guest to do four things in a row and each one loses people: have Instagram, remember the tag, type it correctly, and keep their account public.
The couples who end up with the most photos put a QR code on the tables instead. Guests point a camera at it, a page opens, they add a photo. Grandparents can do it, which is the real test.
Hashtag questions, answered.
Is this wedding hashtag generator free?
+
Completely. There's no signup, no email capture and no limit on how many times you use it. The whole thing runs in your browser — the names you type never leave your device.
How do I pick a good wedding hashtag?
+
Say it out loud first — if a friend has to ask you to spell it, it's the wrong one. Keep it short enough to fit on a table card, check it isn't already in use on Instagram, and avoid word breaks that read badly in lowercase. Capitalising each word helps people read it correctly.
Should I still use a wedding hashtag?
+
It's harmless, and it's fun on the invitations. Just don't rely on it to collect your photos. A hashtag only reaches guests who use Instagram, remember the tag, type it correctly and keep their account public — and even then the photos stay on their accounts rather than coming to you.
What works better than a hashtag for collecting photos?
+
A QR code on the tables. Guests scan it with the camera they already have, a page opens in their browser, and they add photos straight to one gallery you own. No account, no app, and it works for the guests who aren't on social media at all.
Do you store the names I type in?
+
No. There's no server involved. The generator is a small piece of JavaScript running on your phone or laptop, and nothing is sent anywhere or saved.
