Creating Custom Snapchat Filters For Your Wedding Day

Want to make your wedding even more memorable? Creating a custom Snapchat filter is a fun, modern way to personalise your big day and entertain your guests. Whether you're a design novice or a pro, there are plenty of options for making your own filter – and you can do it all from your phone.

How to make a Snapchat filter on your phone

Snapchat geofilters are a fun way to personalise your wedding or any other event. You can make your own Snapchat filter on your phone by following these steps:

First, open the Snapchat app on your mobile device and log in to your account. Then, access your profile by tapping on the icon in the upper left corner of the camera screen. Once you're in your profile, tap the settings icon in the upper right corner, then scroll down and tap "Filters & Lenses". This will take you to a new screen where you can start creating your filter.

Tap "Get Started!" and then select "Filter". Here, you can choose the type of event you want to customise. You can either create a custom design from scratch or select one of Snapchat's available templates. There are various categories to choose from, such as "Weddings", "Bachelor/ette", "Celebration", and "Start from Scratch".

After selecting your category, you can customise your filter with text, images, stickers, borders, and more. Make sure your design fits within the app's guidelines and community guidelines. When you're happy with your filter, tap the checkmark icon and set the timeframe during which you want it to be active.

Next, you'll need to select the location where you want the filter to be available. This is done by drawing a Geofence on a map. The price of your filter will depend on the size of the Geofence and how long you want it to be active. After finalising the details, submit your filter for approval and wait for Snapchat to get back to you. Keep in mind that Snapchat recommends submitting geofilters at least 24 hours in advance.

Creating your own Snapchat filter for your wedding or event is a fun and unique way to involve your guests and make your celebration more memorable. It's also relatively easy to do on your phone, so give it a try!

How to edit and personalise your Snapchat filter

Once you've selected a Snapchat filter design that you like, it's time to edit and personalise it. You can use the Text tool to customise the design—add your name, your partner's name, your new last name, the date, or even lyrics from your first dance song or your wedding hashtag! There are lots of fonts to choose from—just scroll horizontally on the font names above your keyboard when you're in the Text tool.

You can also add emoji, bitmoji and more to your filter. Just tap the notepad icon under the Text tool to browse and add stickers. You can also upload your own photos, images and artwork.

When you're happy with your filter, hit the checkmark icon and select the timeframe during which you want it to be active. You can also select the location where you want the filter to be available.

How to set a timeframe for your Snapchat filter

Setting a timeframe for your Snapchat filter is a crucial step in the process of creating a custom wedding Snapchat filter. This feature allows you to determine the duration for which your filter will be active and available for use. Here is a detailed guide on how to set a timeframe for your Snapchat filter:

Step 1: Design Your Filter

Before setting the timeframe, you need to create your custom filter. You can do this directly in the Snapchat app or on a desktop. Start by opening the Snapchat app and accessing the settings by tapping on your profile icon and then the gear icon. From there, navigate to "Filters & Lenses" and tap "Get Started!". Choose whether you want to create a filter or a lens, and then select the "Filter" option. Pick a suitable category, such as "Weddings", "Celebrations", or "Bachelor/ette", or opt to start from scratch. Customize your filter with text, images, stickers, and other personal touches.

Step 2: Set the Timeframe

Once you are satisfied with your filter design, it's time to define the timeframe. In the app, this is done by tapping the checkmark icon and selecting the dates and times you want the filter to be active. You can choose to have it active for just your wedding day or extend it to cover your entire wedding weekend. You can even create different filters for each event during your wedding celebrations and set specific timeframes for each one. Be sure to carefully review and confirm the dates and times to avoid any last-minute surprises.

Step 3: Set the Geofence

In addition to the timeframe, you'll also need to set a "Geofence," which is the geographic area where your filter will be available. Enter the address of your venue or the desired location, and then adjust the size of the Geofence by dragging the corners of the blue box on the map. Keep in mind that the price of your filter will increase as you expand the range. Make sure the location details are accurate before moving on to the next step.

Step 4: Finalize and Purchase

After setting the timeframe and Geofence, you'll be directed to a summary screen where you can review all the details of your custom filter, including the selected timeframe. Name your filter, verify your email address, and confirm the total cost. Once you're happy with everything, proceed to purchase your filter. Snapchat will review and approve your submission, and then your account will be charged. Your custom wedding Snapchat filter will be ready to go live on your big day!

How to set a geofence for your Snapchat filter

To set a geofence for your Snapchat filter, you must first ensure that your location settings are turned on for your Snapchat app. If your phone is still having trouble accessing geofilters, go to Settings and tap "While Using the App".

To set up a geofence for your Snapchat filter, follow these steps:

• Open the Snapchat app on your mobile device.

• On your profile page, tap the settings gear icon in the upper-right corner.
• Scroll down and tap on "Filters & Lenses".
• Tap "Get Started!" and then select "Filter" (you can also create a custom lens by clicking "Lens").
• Choose a category from the list of occasions, such as Weddings, Celebrations, Bachelor(ette), or Start from Scratch.
• Customise your filter with text, images, stickers, borders, and more.
• Once you're happy with your filter, tap the checkmark icon and set the timeframe during which you want it to be active.
• Now, select the location where you want the filter to be available by drawing a Geofence on the map. The price will increase as you select a larger area.

Remember, you can also create a Snapchat filter for your wedding through the Snapchat website. This allows for more customisation, as you can change aspects of the premade template, such as font and colours.
