CodeKitHubWhat Is This Tool?
A wedding hashtag is a single, unique tag that guests attach to their social media posts throughout the wedding weekend so the couple (and everyone else) can find every photo, video, and comment shared about the event in one place, across Instagram, TikTok, and X. It only works if it's memorable enough that guests actually remember and type it correctly.
This tool generates several proven hashtag patterns at once from both names: direct combinations (#AlexAndJordan), possessive/verb forms (#AlexMarriesJordan, #AlexWedsJordan), a year-tagged version for weddings that might be searched by date, and a portmanteau — a single blended word formed from parts of both names, the same technique behind names like "Brangelina" — which tends to produce the shortest, catchiest option of the set.
Because a good wedding hashtag also needs to actually be unique on social platforms (not already used by hundreds of other unrelated posts), it's worth quickly searching your top pick on Instagram or TikTok before finalizing it and putting it on invitations or signage.
Why Use It?
- Generate a full set of hashtag options in one click instead of brainstorming from a blank page.
- Get a portmanteau option — a single blended word from both names — which tends to be the shortest and easiest for guests to remember.
- Compare multiple styles (direct combination, verb form, year-tagged) side by side to pick the one that fits your couple.
- Copy any option instantly to paste into invitations, a wedding website, or signage.
- 100% local: both names are processed entirely in your browser and are never sent to a server.
How to Use
- Enter each partner's first name in the two input fields.
- Click "Generate hashtags" to produce a full set of options.
- Click "Copy" next to any hashtag you like to copy it to your clipboard.
- Before finalizing, search your favorite option on Instagram or TikTok to confirm it isn't already heavily used by unrelated posts.
Example
Input
Name 1: Alex, Name 2: JordanOutput
#AlexAndJordan, #AlexWedsJordan, #Aldan, #AlexJordan2026"#Aldan" is the portmanteau option — the first half of "Alex" blended with the second half of "Jordan" — which is usually the shortest and most distinctive-sounding choice of the set.
What makes a good wedding hashtag
Not every generated option will suit every couple — here's what to weigh when picking a favorite.
| Consider… | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Length | Shorter hashtags get typed correctly more often, especially by guests using their phones one-handed |
| Uniqueness | Search it before finalizing — a hashtag already used by thousands of unrelated posts buries your photos |
| Spelling clarity | Avoid combinations that are easy to misspell or mishear when told verbally |
| Memorability | A portmanteau or a playful pun tends to stick in guests' minds better than a plain name combination |

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if a hashtag is already taken?
There's no way to "reserve" a hashtag on Instagram or TikTok, but you can search it directly in the app to see how many existing posts use it. A hashtag with zero or very few unrelated results is a safe choice; one already used by thousands of posts about something else will bury your wedding photos.
What is a portmanteau hashtag, and why is it included?
A portmanteau blends parts of two words into one — like combining "Alex" and "Jordan" into "Alexdan." It's included because it's typically the shortest option generated, and short hashtags are easier for guests to remember and type correctly, especially after a few drinks at the reception.
Should I include the wedding year in the hashtag?
It's optional — a year-tagged version (like #AlexJordan2026) is useful mainly if you share a common name combination with another couple who might already have claimed the plain version, or if you want the hashtag to double as a lasting record of the specific year.
Can I use this for an engagement party or anniversary instead of a wedding?
Yes — the same name-combination and portmanteau logic works for any two-person event hashtag, not just weddings specifically.
Are the names I enter sent to a server?
No. Hashtag generation happens entirely in JavaScript in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded or stored.
