Change the \[brackets\] and post. - How to write a countdown caption - 30, 21, 15, 10, 7, 5, 3, 2 and 1 day to go, and the day - Quotes for the bride, the groom, friends and siblings ## How do you write a wedding countdown caption? Put the **number** first, because that is what people read in a story. Add **one line of feeling** that fits the stage, and your **wedding hashtag** at the end. That is all a countdown caption needs. Pick milestones instead of posting daily: 30, 15, 7, 3 and 1 day to go work well. The photo can do most of the work, whether it is the lehenga on a hanger, a half-packed suitcase or the mehendi cone on the table. ## 30 days to go - Official start - 30 days to go.

How many days are left, and one line that fits the mood of that stage: excited a month out, busy at ten days, emotional on the last night. Keep it under 15 words and add your wedding hashtag so the posts collect in one place. When should you start a wedding countdown? Thirty days before is a natural start for posts and status updates; earlier than that, people stop noticing. Post at a few milestones, such as 30, 15, 7, 3 and 1 day to go, rather than every single day. Where do people post wedding countdowns? Instagram stories and WhatsApp status are the most common, because they disappear after a day and suit a daily or milestone update. Save the best ones as an Instagram highlight so guests can find them later. Can guests see a wedding countdown on the invitation? On an invitation website, yes. An Aaiyega invite shows a live countdown of days, hours and minutes to the wedding on every guest's phone, so the countdown keeps running without anyone posting it. ## Keep reading - [**Save the date** For WhatsApp and Instagram, and when to send them](https://aaiyega.com/save-the-date-messages) - [**Hashtag generator** Type both names, get 30+ hashtags](https://aaiyega.com/wedding-hashtag-generator) - [**Haldi, mehendi and sangeet** With the dress code and the fun left in](https://aaiyega.com/haldi-mehendi-sangeet-invitation-messages) - [**For a sister's wedding** From her brother or sister, for friends and family](https://aaiyega.com/sister-wedding-invitation-message) तैयारी की लिस्ट में एक काम कम ## Make your invite tonight.
