FAQ
What is a good short wedding caption for Instagram?
“Officially us”, “Seven vows, one life” and “Forever starts today” work well because they are quick to read and fit almost any wedding photo.
What caption should I use for my sister’s wedding?
Use a line from the sibling section, such as “Fought over clothes for twenty years, cried at her vidaai anyway”. A mix of humour and emotion usually suits sibling posts best.
Should I use a Hindi or English caption for an Indian wedding post?
Either works. Many people write a Hindi line for family followers and add the English meaning below, just as we have done in the Hindi section.
How many hashtags should I add to a wedding post?
Five to ten relevant tags is plenty. A personal couple hashtag is the most useful one, because it gathers all guest photos in one place.
What can I write as a wedding guest?
Light, happy captions such as “Here for the couple, the food and the dance floor” fit guest photos. Keep the focus on celebrating the couple.
