Bride2Bride - How I’m Using Technology For My Wedding - Hashtags, Group Me, & More!
Thursday, March 12, 2015
Here's my personal experience using technology with my big day!
Group Me - As soon as my friends said "Yes!" to my bridal party proposal they were given their first task: to download the Group Me (a group text messaging app) app on each of their smart phones. My maid of honor took on this task, named our group, added members, and even made the group's avatar a cute photo of my groom and I. The app allows me to send a message just once reaching each bridal party member.
Throw in emoticons, pictures, and videos, talk about efficient and fun!!! They've even given me opinions on bouquet ideas, my venue selection, and we planned a bridal show day all by using Group Me. The main reason I need Group Me is that several of my bridal party members are out of town and unable to be here with me as I plan. I highly recommend this app for planning brides because it truly allows for all of your bridal party to be with you along the planning journey!
Hashtags - Want an easy and free way to view a gallery of all of the pictures that you and your guests snapped all wedding day long? Create and share a fun, memorable hashtag and use it endlessly. With social media and camera phones you know you will thank yourself later when you have a vast collection of wedding photos. So get your thinking cap on and start coming up with creative and fun wedding day hashtags!
We're still trying to decide ours. Maybe our Ashley's Bride Guide readers can help me choose one? Here are our running ideas. (We welcome any clever ideas!):

Me and my bridal party
Even thought we're still deciding, here are some tips as you create yours...
1.) Think of something catchy and easy to remember, so your guests don't misspell it and can recall it through-out your big day.
2.) Think of his last name and/or your last name. Then, see if you can combine any of those to rhyme with wedding day sayings like these:
- Jump the broom
- Tie the Knot
- Big Day
- Bride, Groom
- Altar, Chapel (heading to the altar, going to the chapel)
- I do, We said yes
- Union, Nuptials, Wedding
Now, throw in your year or wedding date at the end in case anyone else shares the same hashtag on social media.
3.) Do NOT use any punctuation marks in between or spacing as this will not become a hashtag.
Now, use your Group Me app to ask your bridal party what they think of your wedding hashtag ideas!
