'6 Things you should never post [on social media] when you get engaged'

I post on the first of every month a countdown until our vacation/honeymoon and it drives my aunt batty. She's asked why I won't post anything wedding related but I will about my vacation. Maybe because no ones going to ask to go on vacation with me but they'll have the balls to ask for an invite. We posted when we got engaged and I think I've done 1-2 Instagram posts but that's it.

Lol, I got a text from FIL yesterday telling us that this relative got engaged and the date. I then spent most of the day stressed about how completely "meh" I feel about this wedding, the scheduling, the inconvenience, the timing, the distance, the general religious weirdness (pretty sure I would have to buy something to wear and no idea how to dress appropriately for the religious group) and the fact that I've felt bad about missing events all summer due to studying for the bar plus needing to decline without being completely sure we're invited. And then DH came home and we talked, and he'd completely missed that this is happening NEXT MONTH when he read the text and was like "of course we're not going" and we talked to MIL to find out details and are even more horrified now (re: the cult thing) and then we just decided we're both horrible people and called SIL, who promised to observe all the craziness that happens and tell us about it later.

Kahlcara, LOL I wouldn't go in your situation either!

I had 2 different couples on my fb saying, "message me your address if you want a wedding invite!"

I posted a few shots of the engagement location plus ring and us when we announced after calling all important people or texting those at work and couldn't answer till breaks times (we were on vacation)

My girls actually post more pictures of us doing wedding related things than me. Like looking at dresses and getting together. I have the posts needing review if I'm tagged but it only keeps it off my page till I accept it , so other family and share can see it from their page though

I plan on doing a post in august saying one year down one to go when we hit a year away since it's a two year engagement almost to the day. However all family has heard the date verbally at some pint in the last year (and they always asked for it we never flat out told them before they wanted to know)

So I posted about a week after we got engaged the proposal vid and we changed our status because I'm a sap lol. Other than that, no wedding info has been posted. Maybe a 6 month countdown and one E pic but other than that nothing else.

I follow so many engaged women and they post SO DAM MUCH. Fake "oh look at my mani but really I'm just showing my ring" pics lmao. So dam annoying.

And yes @Kate! The dreaded TBT wedding pics for fuxking 1000 days.

I only posted the engagement the day after it happened and when I got my dress I shared on my page the pic and caption that the dress shop put on facebook "She said yes to the dress"

Ring posts are cliche and lame. However proposal pictures are effing adorable. Also the ring pic and honeymoon and wedding stuff is annoying and also a flag that you are not home. The less info you give out the better

I posted a pic of my ring and tagged us both in it when we got engaged. That's it.

I'm ok with the milestone stuff - a ring or proposal pic, a said yes to the dress post, an occasional countdown, a wedding day post. Those are fine. But no one gives a shit that you picked out invites/colors/centerpieces/cake/whatever. Those people annoy me.
