Once you've found the perfect wedding hashtag, you'll want to make sure your guests actually use it. Display it on welcome signs at the ceremony and reception entrance, print it on cocktail napkins and table cards, include it in your wedding program, add it to your wedding website, and feature it on a photo booth backdrop.
But here's what most couples discover: even with the hashtag displayed everywhere, you'll only capture a fraction of the photos guests take. Some guests have private Instagram accounts, some misspell the hashtag, some post to TikTok instead, and many don't post at all. This means their best shots stay buried in their camera rolls forever.
That's why smart couples pair their wedding hashtag with a QR code for wedding pictures. When guests scan it, they're taken directly to a shared album where they can upload photos and videos instantly without an app or social media account. Services like Wedibox let you create a custom QR code that works alongside your hashtag, so you collect every memory from every guest.
