HootSuite knows social media, providing one of the most widely used social media management suites on the market, so their social media tips for weddings are predicatably particularly useful. While it’s definitely important to provide wifi and make sure your guests know about the hashtag, they add tips for after the wedding where most forget about that follow up:
While you’re waiting for your professional wedding photos, you’ll want to reminisce with all your unofficial ones. Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter all provide a way for your guests to post photos from your wedding, but chances are that only their favourite few made the social media cut. WedPics lets you easily create your own app for your wedding that guests can download and upload photos to without spamming all of their social media feeds. This is also a great way to include guests without social media profiles, like photos from your Grandma’s digital camera.
Instagram photos are small, so if you want to cherish some of them forever, be sure to use a service like Artifact Uprising that specializes in high-res prints and photobooks of Instagram photos. Keep your hashtag going by encouraging your photographer or videographer to use it when posting “sneak peeks” or the final product on their social media feeds, and remember to include it for your future #latergrams or #throwbackthursdays.
Finally, create a digital archive of your day by using Storify, which allows you to select your favourite wedding memories from Twitter, Instagram, Vine, and Facebook and view it all in one place.
Definitely important to remember! If you’d rather chill out on your honeymoon than worry about social media followup, talk to us! We’ll take care of those details for you.
