In this twitter and selfie generation, it is only natural that you may want to include social media on your big day. Be it a wedding, graduation or birthday party. Here are some tips to help you use social media to your advantage throughout your celebration.

- Create a Hashtag

You want to create a clever hashtag to use all day. For weddings, start using your hashtag from the engagement photos to the bridal shower, leading to the bachelor/bachelorette party and to the big day.

- Make a personal Snapchat Filter

This is such a great way to add excitement and engage your guests. You can also use the snapchat filter to promote your event and your event hashtag.

- There's an App for that

You can create a private, invite-only virtual album for your guest's pics using photo-sharing apps like Wed Pics, Eversnap or Appy Couple. Remember to make sure that whatever app you choose is iPhone or Andriod compatible.

- Be sure to have cute displays of your event hashtags and reminders of your snapchat filters throughout the event and at different locations. This will allow guests to easily tag their photos.
