A hashtag is public. Use PicShots if you want guest photos in a private gallery instead of a public tag.

How to use a hashtag

A public tag is not a photo gallery

  • A hashtag is a public search label. Anyone can post under it, and anyone can find those posts.
  • Use one short tag across signage, the invite, and stories so guests are not guessing between three spellings.
  • Skip punctuation and keep it easy to type. Mixed names should still be readable out loud.
  • Search Instagram and TikTok before you print. If the tag is already busy, add a year or a last name.
  • Keep the originals in PicShots. The hashtag is for discovery; the gallery is the archive you actually own.

Wedding placement

Where to put your wedding hashtag

  • Print the hashtag on table cards next to the QR code for your guest camera.
  • Add it to the wedding website above the schedule or registry.
  • Mention it once during welcome remarks or before speeches.
  • Pair it with a short call-to-action like “Tag your photos so we can find them later”.
  • Save it on the wedding planning document so vendors can reuse it on highlight reels.

Collecting guest candids as well? See the wedding guest camera guide or print an event QR.

FAQ

Common questions

How does this wedding and event hashtag generator work?

Enter one or two names (couple names for a wedding, a family or brand name for other events), an optional date or year, and the event type. The tool builds hashtag candidates in your browser from common naming patterns. No data is sent to a server and no paid API is used.

Does it work for weddings and other events?

Yes. Choose wedding, birthday, bachelorette, baby shower, graduation, corporate event, reunion, or other party. Wedding patterns use couple-name combinations; other occasions change the suffix.

Can I use the hashtag without an account?

Anyone can post under a hashtag. It is only a search label, so guests do not need to follow you or add you on social media for tagged photos to be findable.

Should I check the hashtag on Instagram and TikTok first?

Yes. Search the tag before you print it so it is not already full of unrelated posts. Pick one with little or no existing use. If the couple names are common, add a year or a last name.

Where should I display a wedding or event hashtag?

Print it on the welcome sign, table cards, the menu, the wedding website, and the last slide of any reception deck. Pair it with a PicShots QR if you also want originals in a private gallery.

Can guest photos go to a private gallery instead of a public hashtag?

Yes. Create a free PicShots event and share one QR. Guests shoot in the browser and uploads land in a host-controlled gallery you can download as a ZIP. You can still use a public hashtag in parallel for social-media discovery.

Ready to go

Want the photos in one place, not scattered on a hashtag?

Create a free PicShots event. Guests scan one QR, shoot in the browser, and every upload lands in a gallery you control. You can still use a public hashtag for stories.
