From Eventoly, the makers of this tool
Pair your hashtag with a wedding QR code
Hashtags collect photos guests choose to post publicly. A private wedding QR code collects every photo and video they took at your wedding, including the ones they would never post on Instagram.
The result: one shared album with the entire day, in original quality, ready for download after.
No app for guests · One payment from $49, no subscription

What makes a perfect wedding hashtag
A wedding hashtag is a custom phrase, starting with #, that lets your guests group every photo they share on social media into one searchable place. Print it on welcome signs, table cards, or the back of your wedding invitations, and every Instagram or TikTok post tagged with it shows up in one feed. It's a beloved tradition for a reason — your wedding lives on social media for everyone who couldn't be there.
The catch: hashtags only work for photos guests choose to post publicly. The honest truth is most of the best wedding photos — the candids, the messy emotional ones, the videos of the speeches — never get posted anywhere. That's where a private wedding QR code does the heavy lifting. Use both: hashtag for the social moments, QR code for the album you keep forever.
Keep it short and easy to spell
Aim for under 20 characters. Long hashtags get typos, and one wrong letter means your photos disappear into a different tag.
Use CamelCase
Capitalise each new word so the hashtag is readable: #SophieAndLucasForever, not #sophieandlucasforever.
Check it's not already taken
Before you commit to printing it on signs, search the hashtag on Instagram and TikTok. If thousands of unrelated photos use it, pick another.
Say it out loud
If your guests can't pronounce it after hearing it once, they won't remember it. Test on a relative who's not deep in your wedding planning.
Where to display your wedding hashtag
Put your custom wedding hashtag where guests will actually see it.
A wedding hashtag only works if your guests notice it. Once you've picked your favourite from the free wedding hashtag ideas above, print your custom wedding hashtag in three or four spots across the venue and pair it with a private wedding QR code on the same sign. One tap to upload to your album, one tag to share on socials.
Whether you generated a personalised wedding hashtag for the bride and groom, a punny wedding hashtag for the family group chat, or a short modern wedding hashtag for Instagram and TikTok, the rules for placement are the same: bigger, brighter, more often.
- 1Welcome sign — as guests arrive — their first chance to spot your wedding hashtag.
- 2Table cards and menu inserts — guests rediscover your wedding hashtag between courses.
- 3Photo booth or backdrop — every photo gets your unique wedding hashtag added on the spot.
- 4Bathroom mirror or restroom sign — the unexpected wedding hashtag reminder that always works.
- 5Wedding invitations and save-the-dates — print your wedding hashtag early so guests start tagging before the day.
What hosts say about Eventoly
We put the QR code on the welcome sign and let everyone do their thing. Guests loved this so much they couldn't stop playing with it. The next day, we had hundreds of photos from our guests. Love it! And they didn't have to download an app
I've tried a bunch of these for clients and most ask guests to download something nobody wants to download. With Eventoly the QR just works. I had a 70-year-old uncle of the groom upload three videos on his own. That sold me. Been using it for events ever since.
For my 30th I really didn't want to chase everyone for their photos like I always end up doing. The QR code went on the table cards and that was it. A week later I downloaded everything in one zip. Way easier than texting 15 different group chats.

Not strictly — a wedding QR code linked to your private photo album collects guest photos more reliably. But hashtags are still beloved tradition for sharing on social media. The two work brilliantly together: hashtag on social, QR code for the private album.
A hashtag is a label on social media — guests have to remember to add it to every public post. A wedding QR code takes guests directly to your private photo album with one scan. Hashtags for social, QR codes for the album you keep.
Yes, the hashtags work on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, and anywhere else hashtags are supported. Just search the hashtag first to make sure it's not already in heavy use elsewhere.
We mix names, last name, year, and creative patterns to generate combinations that are highly unlikely to collide with other couples. Still — always check the hashtag is unused on Instagram before printing it on your signage.
