5 WAYS TO INCORPORATE SOCIAL MEDIA ON YOUR WEDDING DAY
PERSONALIZED HASHTAG
Creating a personalized hashtag for your wedding is a super fun way to incorporate social media to your wedding. Asking all your guests to use your specific hashtag when they post a photo to instagram allows you and anyone else who clicks on that hashtag to see all the amazing photos captured and posted from your wedding.
Tip: It is important to be creative and use a hashtag that hasn't been used yet! If it has been used already, photos from your wedding may get lost from the photos posted by those who used it before!!

From finding your dress to finding your venue, create small videos taking them through the decision making process!! This is also a fun way to look back at the whole process after years after the wedding as well!
