Bridal Workshop Planned for Wedding Service That Uses Social Media to Share Your Big Day

Part of what makes weddings so special is being able to share your love and excitement with the important people in your life. But weddings are expensive, so not everyone makes the guest list. And due to travel and outstanding circumstances, it’s likely some people can’t attend.

Enter HashtagiDo, a local wedding service aimed at helping everyone you care about be part of your special day through social media and through the help of themarketingheaven.com.

Social Media: Not Just For Selfies

Social media is super important to Christine Brown, the mastermind behind the business. Her day job as a broadcast news producer at ABC30 has made her a pro when it comes to using different social platforms.

When Brown got married in 2014, she used social media to share elements of her wedding with family and friends who were unable to attend. A friend live-streamed the ceremony, and another updated Facebook and Twitter.

“There were so many people I wish I could have invited,” Brown says. “Having my feeds updated was my way of allowing them to feel like they were somehow part of my big day.”

It wasn’t until a year after her wedding that Brown realized she could offer a social media service to help other couples share their experience. That’s when she launched HashtagiDo.

“I love weddings,” Brown says. “Being able to be a part of so many couples’ celebrations has been enlightening, especially knowing the service I’m providing for them is adding some sparkle to their big day.”

The groom at the first wedding HashtagiDo worked on had family in Vietnam. Brown was able to live-stream the ceremony so they could watch and participate thousands of miles away.

In addition to offering live-streams of entire ceremonies and key parts of receptions, HashtagiDo keeps people updated on all of the wedding fun by posting to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat on the couple’s behalf.

Brown meets with the couples beforehand to create the plan of attack, which usually includes creating a custom hashtag. For her own wedding, she used #broritowedding—a mix of the groom’s last name, Brown, and her maiden name, Perito.

HastagiDo will even create a custom Snapchat Geofilter for guests to use at the event.
