Custom hashtags are one of those wedding non-essentials that you can easily ditch, but if you, your other half, or your guests are heavy social media users, it’s a fun and easy way to build up excitement around your big day!
Follow these easy steps, and you’ll have one in a jiffy!
Step 1:
Make sure to also use first names, nicknames, even hobbies, words related to your hobbies, and where/how you met.Step 2
Find all the words that sound like and rhyme with the names and words you came up with in step 1.Step 3
Find some phrases!
Step 4
Time to break up that difficult name! Names with more than 2 syllables get to be difficult to punify.Step 5
Puns maybe aren’t for you but don’t worry there are style rhyming and alliteration to work with. However, puns usually get the most laughs so try and expand your word list in step 1 with ALL the words relevant to you as a couple. Getting married in Kerala? #ItsABoatTime, #LetsGetKnotical. Is she/he a nurse? #ForBetterOrNurse. Is she/he a police officer? #ForTheArrestOfOurLives. If nothing is coming to you, then time to get back to the rhyming dictionary for rhymes can be the easiest to remember.
Nothing Rhymes with any of your names? Don’t have any hobbies?…. Very well it is alliteration time! See step 6.
