The Hashtag

We did choose a #hashtag for our wedding, simply because we wanted to be able to see all of the pictures that were taken at the wedding.  Granted, you will probably never get to see all of them, but we wanted as many as we could.
     Of course, not many people anymore use disposable cameras, and when they did it cost an arm and a leg to get them developed.  With social media, it comes pretty simply to get your hands on more pictures than your photographer may not get.
 So with that being said,  we decide to create our own make-shift photo booth and we will  have people use our hashtag.  So I would recommend at least picking out some short of hashtag to use.  (Note:  Keep it short and simple)  Then you can simply comb your social media sites and collect them . I, being one that still prints pictures, was not to fond of the disposable camera option.  If you would like, I did a post not too long ago, about why I still print pictures.

So. In conclusion, create a short and sweet hashtag that you can use to get the most out of your pictures.  And, if your like me and still print, there will always be a photo book to look at years down  the road.  Cause we all know that VCR's will last forever, just like Facebook right?

The List...

This might be one of the regrets that I have so far. While I am typing, the current bride to be, is off at the wedding shower.  Just about a year ago after we became engaged, we started to put together a guest list.  During this last year we have added guests, and even as we are approaching crunch time we are still adding.  We have already received several gifts in the mail from those who are unable to make it, and it is becoming more difficult to keep track of the guests, RSVP's, thank you's, and the gifts.

Some will give gifts, at the bridal shower, some at the wedding, and so will even send them in the mail to your home.

My regret so far is that we didn't create some sort of spreadsheet.  Of course, you have a list of names, but if you have access to an Excel program, I would highly recommend creating some sort of spreadsheet to house all of this information. This way you can keep track of names, addresses, gifts they have given, thanks you's.

This is the only regret so far, but I think it would have been well worth it if we would had a spreadsheet to go off of.
