The 3-S Test: how to pick the one that's actually yours

The list above uses Jane Smith and John Jones as placeholders. Your tag should use your real names — and ideally combine both surnames, your year, or a wordplay unique to you. Before you print it on a single sign, run it through the 3-S Test:

  • Search it. Pop your candidate into Instagram and TikTok. If another couple is already using it, pick something else. (More on this in how to check your hashtag is unique.)
  • Squash it.Hashtags are case-insensitive under the hood, so read your CamelCase version all lowercase and make sure it doesn't spell something embarrassing.
  • Say it.Tell a friend the tag out loud once. If they can spell it back on the first try, it'll survive a noisy reception. If not, simplify.

Sharing a surname already? The combination tricks change a bit — see wedding hashtags when you have the same last name.

Wedding hashtag FAQ

Are wedding hashtags still worth it in 2026?

Yes — they're the simplest way to collect guest photos in one place. Even as platforms change, a unique tag still pulls every angle of your day into one searchable feed you fully own.

How long should a wedding hashtag be?

Short enough to remember and type — aim for under about 20 characters. Long tags get mistyped, and a mistyped tag means lost photos.

What if we have the same last name?

Lean on first names, your year, or a shared in-joke instead of merging surnames. See our guide on same-last-name hashtags.

Should we include our wedding year?

It helps uniqueness and dates the memories nicely, but it also makes the tag longer. If the year pushes you past ~20 characters, drop it.
