Announcing on Facebook

I wouldn’t announce my wedding date on Facebook. Everyone on there will think they’re invited. When you book your venue you’ll have the date

Don’t announce your wedding date on Facebook unless you are planning on inviting everyone who you are friends with on Facebook. You should have an idea of what date you want when you start visiting venues.

You don't have a date unless you have a venue booked. I would also refrain from sharing any wedding information like your date on Facebook. It could come off a bit rude to be sharing every last detail of your wedding with people you may not be inviting.

I keep my personal life off Facebook, I didn't announce it there.

I wouldn’t announce your wedding on social media unless you are looking forward to warding off the “I’m invited, right?” comments from that random person you haven’t talked to since you graduated high school and the awkward conversations that will ensue while you explain why they’re not invited but you felt they needed to know/care about your wedding date

Never announce your wedding date on Facebook, ever.

As people here would say, you don't have a date until you have a venue, so you need to book a venue before you tell anyone a date. Were you wanting to announce your wedding date on facebook? Or just the engagement? I haven't said anything about my wedding on social media at all since not all my "friends" are invited. For announcing any big news, I wouldn't do it until the close people in your life have heard it from you.

I agree. It's exciting and you want to scream it from the roof tops, but even in person if they ask i give people I'm not inviting the month, and not the exact date... It can get awkward with the people that think you're better friends than you are or distant relatives because they feel a part of the process and then they are "left hanging"
We chose a date that worked for our jobs then tried to find a venue that had the date available. It did limit our options on venue, but we weren't willing to budge on the date due to work.

Beyond “yay we’re engaged!” Nothing goes on Facebook at all. At. All. Otherwise everyone is expecting an invite.

I'm seconding all the nays - do not post the wedding details publicly on Facebook. You will risk self-invites and unintentional hurt feelings.

I posted a photo (my avatar on here) to facebook, didn't even caption it. I have otherwise not posted a single thing about the wedding. I have still had to ward off comments and people asking when it is on there, even on unrelated posts. As far as I'm concerned, the next post that will be made about my wedding on facebook will be photos from it happening.

Don't announce wedding date. My hubby and I got engaged in September and no one but our immediate family knew until halfway thru December. We already had the date set, colors, my dress and most of the planning done before we announced anything. After we announced it people started to ask about it and we had to tell people sorry you are not invited. We had a small wedding. So keep that in mind if you announce your wedding date some people may expect invitations.

I announced my wedding day on Facebook after it was over. Lol

Don't announce on FB unless you want a bunch of people you weren't planning to invite asking for details so they can arrange to come...

Definitely refrain from announcing the date on Facebook. You may be subjected to an increase of unintended guests or requests for invites. Simply announce that you're engaged if anything at all.

I announced my engagement on FB when it happened. The wedding was only "announced" when guests decided to post photos onto FB the day of.

I didn’t even announce my engagement on FB. I have seen it leas to awkward assumptions from folks that they are invited to the wedding.

Do not announce your wedding date on any social media. A simple "I'm engaged" or changing status to that is all that is needed. Be mindful of oversharing your relationship on social media.

Unless you have a venue you don’t have a wedding date. I would recommend not posting the date on Facebook unless you are inviting every single person on your friends list. All we did was change our relationship status to engaged after we got engaged and that’s it.

We didn't announce our wedding date on Facebook, or any other form of social media. I agree with PPs that it's rude as all get out to talk about your wedding with people who aren't all invited to your wedding, so there's absolutely no reason to post about your wedding date on social media for hundreds of people who aren't making it on your guest list to see.

We picked a date before we picked a venue. And just found a venue that would work with our date. But we didn’t annouce it in Facebook because we didn’t invite everyone on Facebook. But you can figure out your date whenever you want.
