Guests photograph almost everything at a wedding, and a hashtag sign gives those photos a common home. Dihot is a modern font for shareable details, and this guide covers how to choose a hashtag, place signs and design graphics that stay readable on a phone.
Choose a hashtag worth lettering
- Keep it short and unique. Search it first to confirm it is not already in use.
- Capitalise each word, for example #SmithAndJonesSayIDo, so it is easier to read.
- Avoid ambiguity. Read it aloud and check that words do not run together badly.
- Use the same hashtag everywhere: invitation, website, signs and thank-you cards.
Sign placement
- Entrance. Introduce the hashtag as guests arrive.
- Bar. Guests wait here, and have time to read.
- Photo area. The hashtag should be visible in the picture.
- Tables. A small card on each table as a reminder.
Social graphics
Design graphics for the screens where they will be viewed. A portrait format of 1080 by 1350 pixels is a common size for feed posts, while 1080 by 1920 suits stories.
Keep text large, with high contrast, and leave margins so that nothing is cropped by an app's interface.
Legibility on screens
- Use strong contrast between lettering and background.
- Avoid thin strokes on photographs, where they vanish on small screens.
- Preview on a phone before you finalise any graphic.
