Planning a wedding in Poland? Then you’ve probably already heard about wedding hashtags — those fun little slogans that make collecting your guests’ photos on social media a breeze. But how do you come up with one, especially when Polish surnames and traditions add an extra twist? Sit back with a cup of coffee (or maybe a kieliszek of vodka), and let’s crack this together.
Why Do You Even Need a Wedding Hashtag?
Simple — it’s your personal time capsule. Every selfie, every group shot, every legendary uncle Marek's disco-polo dance video will land in one digital album. No more digging through scattered posts or missing out on candid moments.
And let’s be honest, Polish weddings aren’t exactly short on unforgettable moments — oczepiny, poprawiny, grandma’s home-made nalewka — you’ll want all of it saved forever.
Step 1: Get Inspired by Your Names (No Matter How Tongue-Twisting They Are)
Polish surnames? Complex? Never! Well, maybe a little. But they’re actually a creative goldmine.
- #NowWeAreNowak
- #KowalskisSayIDo
- #MarriedMazurscy
Tip: Mix your surnames, play with endings, don’t be afraid of rhymes or alliterations. Even if your future surname sounds like a Scrabble jackpot, embrace it!
Step 2: Polish Touch Makes It Special
Add a little polska dusza. Imagine your guests from abroad asking: “What does #ZakochaniZielińscy mean?” Boom — conversation starter!
Ideas:
- #ZakochaniZielińscy (Zieliński in love)
- #ŚlubSikorskich (Sikorski Wedding)
- #KochamKowalczyków (Loving the Kowalczyks)
- #ŻycieZŻurawskimi (Life with the Żurawski family)
Plus, if your venue is somewhere iconic like Pałac w Rozalinie or Dwór Złotopolska Dolina, you can sneak that in too.
Step 3: Keep It Short & Catchy (For Your Guests’ Sake)
Nobody wants to type #AnnaAndPiotrFinallyTiedTheKnotAfterSevenYearsAndFourCatsAndThreeDogs. Aim for 3-5 words. Guests will be posting between the vodka shots, so make it easy.
Step 4: Secure Your Hashtag Like Grandma’s Secret Pierogi Recipe
Before printing it on the wedding invitations, check Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. You don’t want to share your hashtag with another couple from Katowice.
Step 5: Don’t Forget the Fun!
Here’s where you can go full creative:
- #FinallyFilipowicz
- #JankowskiJamboree
- #DancingDąbrowskis
- #NowakowskisOnFire
- #OczepinyObłędu (for wild oczepiny lovers)
Trust me, your guests will love it. Especially after the second round of nalewka.
Bonus: Mini Hashtag Generator
- Combine: Your surnames + Polish word + theme
- Example: Zieliński + Kocham + Wedding = #KochamZielińskich
- Example: Kowalski + Forever = #ForeverKowalscy
- Add location? #MazurskieLoveStory
Play around until you find “the one”.

Pro Tip for Polish Weddings
Consider your traditions. Oczepiny, poprawiny, and even the venue can inspire your hashtag. Like:
- #PoprawinyPower
- #OczepinyOnPoint
- #WeseleNaMazurach
Trust me, nothing makes a hashtag more special than a little local flavor.
