I’ve seen my fair share of wedding hashtags over the years–from the good to the bad to the downright terrible. They’re plastered on social media, printed at the bottom of menus, and displayed front and center on giant signs by the bar. I totally get it, what better way to capture all the love from your wedding in one place than with a catchy phrase that speaks to you as a couple?
But for stressed brides, crafting a punny hashtag is easier said than done. There’s so much pressure to make it unique, clever and fun. And on top of that you’re supposed to incorporate your names, wedding date, inside jokes from your first date, your mother’s maiden name….
Well not really, but sometimes it feels that way when you’re trying to come up with one! Luckily it doesn’t have to be that hard. Read on and I’ll show you how to create a hashtag for your wedding, the easy way.
One of the best parts of my job is creating custom invitation suites for brides with a vision. Every now and then I get a request from a bride to do something a little different. Usually she loves one of the template suites in the shop but wants it customized to fit the look and feel of her big day. And I love brides who want their wedding to feel like them—cookie cutter weddings are so 2016 (ha, just kidding I just made that up but you know what I mean). So whenever this happens I always respond the same way: “Yes!!!” followed by excessive exclamation points and lots of heart eyes emojis. And that’s how these watercolor wedding invitations were born.
She wanted a soft, pale peach color to complement her bridesmaids’ dresses and a whimsical watercolor effect to play off some hand lettered calligraphy. I obviously loved everything about her vision and couldn’t wait to bring it to life, so I jumped all over it like a spider monkey on a banana tree.
Planning your wedding is one of the more sweat-inducing (and if I’m being totally honest, stomach churning, terrifying, and holy-crap-is-this-over-yet) aspects of getting married. As a matter of fact, I recently learned that of all the things a couple goes through over the course of their relationship, aside from the death of a family member, the toughest are: having a child, planning a wedding, and buying a house. In that order.
So to put it another way, wedding planning is just slightly less painful than delivering a baby.
I think on some level we already knew this, especially since wedding planning and giving birth have so much in common—but now we just have the science to back it up. So for all you newly engaged ladies and gents out there who are stressing out about planning your wedding, this post is for you.
