Live Instagram Feed at Reception???

I'm not really sure how it works, but I think it's a cool idea. It's probably better if you have a lot of people invited.

I haven't, but I work with events (races) for a living and I've seen them do similar things. I would assume they will set up a screen, connected to a laptop with an internet connection. The laptop will run a program that refreshes a link to a page that searches for your hashtag at set intervals and shows images people have posted.

In my experience, screen rentals can be pretty pricey (and I would hope they also have someone on-site to fix problems that arise and to have backup equipment), but it could be a cool idea, especially if your guests love instagram.

We are just displaying a regular hashtag.

We won't. I am not able to invite everyone that I'd like to and I don't want to rub in anyone's faces that we're having a ball without them. I'm still undecided on the regular #

I'm doing a chalkboard with the hashtag and the name to tag us with

I posted a couple of days ago about this, and i really want to do it!! I love the vistaprint card idea, so smart!

I will just put a little sign out displaying the hashtag name near the card box and other decor during the cocktail hour so lots of people will have an opportunity to see it.

All you need to do is tell people the hashtag, just hope they actually type it write... It makes more sense to use an app like WEDPICS where everyone can upload and not lose it...

We will be doing BOTH...

I'm doing the WEDPICS app!

We put little signs on the tables with info about the instagram hashtag they could use and also how to download and use the wedpics app.

I maybe got about 20 photos out of it all. It was pretty disappointing.

I made some frames and decorated them to let people know what our hashtag is ...

We plan on using wedpics and an Instagram hashtag. So far, wedpics looks like an awesome option with some many options and easy printing (as opposed to Instagram)

I'm doing the same thing as STBMrsE: chalkboard with our hashtag on it...I really love this idea!

I personally don't want everyone on their phones all night, so no, we won't be doing one.

But I went to a wedding where they used the WEDPICS app and it worked pretty well.

I made an Instagram hashtag for our wedding but have no idea how it even works to be honest. I've never used it and just wanted to learn so I could have the pics that our guests take in one place.

We used VP to print out info cards on using Wedpics for our guests to post their pics there. I'll be mailing them with the invites and will also have some at the wedding.

I think this is a really cool idea! So would the instagram feed be displayed somewhere at the reception for all too see?

@justaddcoffee It can be very disappointing if you do not have an active #hashtag crowd or at least someone there to coach or take the #instapics. I ran across this company, Social Weddings R Us. They handle it all for you and are quite reasonable.
