7 Ways to Use Snapchat as a Bride on Your Wedding Day

Adding a social media flair to your wedding is something that helps kick your big day into modern times and allows you to chat with guests and non-wedding guests throughout your entire wedding adventure. Whether it's to send out info about the wedding location or to just let out-of-town friends and family members who couldn't make it for your big day feel like they are there, there are plenty of ways to use social media. If you love Snapchat, here are seven tips for using it to enhance your wedding day.

On the morning of the wedding, snap videos and photos of places guests should be on the lookout for. You can show them where to park, where to play preceremony, and even where to put their gift when they arrive.

Get your guests even more excited to celebrate the best and biggest night of your life by sending them some wedding teasers. Have a photo booth or an epic dessert bar in store? Send out some hints and highlights to have them guessing what they'll stumble upon at your reception.

If you're looking to really put your wedding on social media in real time, hand your Snapchat username and password over to a trusted guest who can snap photos and videos of your wedding throughout the night. If you have family and friends who couldn't make the wedding, this is the ultimate way to have them feel as if they are included and a part of the night, even though it's just through snaps.

For the friends and family members miles away who couldn't make it, send them a quick snap on the morning of the wedding letting them know you wish they were there but you wanted to send some wedding love their way. They can also snap you back throughout the morning, and you can use their snaps as a way to relax and laugh a little before the wedding jitters kick in.

If you're looking to thank your guests faster than writing thank-you notes, send them a snap postwedding. Make a 10-second video for the key players who made your wedding possible, or take a goodnight photo and send it to all your guests with Snapchat accounts.

When the wedding comes to an end, you can send out a quick wedding highlight summary through photo snaps of decorations and even your beautiful dress. This will give guests and nonguests a chance to relive your favorite wedding moments and memories.

You can take your wedding brand to the next level with geofilters on Snapchat. Custom-design one that fits your wedding style, and guests can post pictures and videos with the filter that screams your very own happily ever after.

Now that your Snapchat game is covered, don't forget to come up with a wedding hashtag that no one else will have.
