 www.pinterest.com That is that pound sign thing that you are seeing at weddings these days? Back in the day, it was a shortcut on phone calls to find out who called you last (before caller ID) or to block your phone number from whoever you were calling. Why is it all over social media these days, and what in the world does it mean at a wedding?! Gaining popularity from websites and apps like Twitter and Instagram, a #hashtag (the pound sign thingy) is a way to link photos or posts of common subjects! It's pretty cool. You just click on it in apps where it's supported, and you can see posts that include just that hashtag in one place. For a wedding, using a unique hashtag phrase can help you and your guests put all of their cell phone shots in one place, for everyone to easily see and share!  www.pinterest.com But Where Do You Put Them? The most common are social media websites like Facebook and Instagram. You can add a photo, write a little caption (#InsertBrideandGroomsHashtagHere), and post! If you are friends with the happy couple, when they click on their link from any post, or search social media platforms for it, your photo will pop up with any other's who have used the same hashtag. If the trendy hashtag isn't your thing, or you'd like a bit more privacy, there are several websites that have popped up just for the purpose of gathering photos from multiple people and devices! A few popular ones, listed below, can sometimes be a bit more user-friendly across multiple generations, gives you the ability to limit who can download and share the photos, and who can view them (password protection).
