wedding hashtags...how does this work?

Miss P., on August 20, 2014 at 11:34 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 15

Okay, yes, silly question. I am still learning how to work the whole instagram world lol.

Now that I have a hashtag to use...is it something I "claim" or I just tell people to use and that is it? When people start tagging it with my my hashtag, how do I know? or do I just search it? Or do I create the account with that name?

Talk about living in the dark ages over here, girls. I am not a social media queen. haha!

I am seriously laughing at myself over here because I am totally clueless. o_O

    Twitter & Instagram - click search/explore and type in the tag, it will show all public accounts that have photos that have used it. you can also click on the hashtag in the comments and it will lead you to the same search. private profiles that you are not following will not show up. its used as a comment.

    example:

    check out my wedding dress photos! (upload photo) #davidsbridal #weddingdress #doilookfatinthis

    hashtags are public domain so check for some before you pick one so its not already in use, its best to make it unique to avoid random photos.

    Haha I was just looking into this yesterday. I think we are going to use both our last names because I have a rare last name and his is very common. #reynoldswedding and #reynolds2014 was EVERYWHERE when I searched twitter!

    I LOVE wedding hashtags! on every picture you want to include just comment with your hashtag. make sure to search them before you create one and make sure no one else is using it already. ours is #gabriels2014 simple but we got lucky and its all ours. . .for now lol

    My first choice, #Gregory2014 is already used. I was trying to keep it simple, so everyone would remember it and it would actually get some use out of it. However, everyone has my idea. I think I'm going to use #OHeyitstheGregorys or #Ohmywedidit lol. Something with some sparkle!

    We are using a hashtag as well #LastnameWeddingNYE since it will be on New Years Eve. I also checked it without the NYE and there were like 3 different weddings using it lol no bueno. Another option we are using is the WedPics app

    For people with private instagram accounts; their hashtagged pics won't show in the search- FYI
