Should you use your wedding hashtag as your wedding website name?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12 · For guests

Short answer

You can use your wedding hashtag as your website name, but only if it is short and easy to spell. Hashtags often include numbers or odd spellings that are hard to type. If your hashtag is long, use a simpler URL instead.

Using your wedding hashtag as your website URL can be a neat way to keep everything consistent. Guests who see your hashtag on social media can find your website easily, and you only need to remember one phrase. But hashtags are not always good website addresses. They often include the year, like "SamAndAlex2025", or they use puns and unusual spellings. That can make them hard to type, especially on a phone. A long hashtag also makes a long URL, which is more likely to be mistyped. If your hashtag is short and simple, like "SamAndAlex", it can work well. If it is longer, consider using a shorter version for the website, and keep the hashtag for social media. You can still link the two by putting the hashtag on your website and the website address on your social media posts. That way guests can move between them easily. Another option is to use your names for the website and your hashtag for photos. That is a common and practical approach. Remember, the website address needs to be easy for everyone, including older guests, to type and remember. The hashtag is more flexible because it is often shared as a clickable link.
