Spin off: What do you think is "okay" to post on social media regarding the wedding?

I post a lot of random wedding stuff on Instagram.. Diy's and such.. But never Facebook.

I posted when we got engaged (a few days after). I posted some engagement pics. I posted pics about my shower, oh and today I posted that my veil finally came in. Anyone that read my Alfred Angelo thread knows the issue I was having there, so naturally I was excited. I've stayed generally quiet about the wedding though.

I post engagement pics and probably bridal shower pics when that happened which is 10/10 . Then wedding pics. But I don't really talk much about the wedding unless it's to my private wedding group

I posted when we got engaged, our engagement pictures, a ring picture, a status about booking our venue (left out the date), I posted I said yes to the dress, and today I posted that my MOH ordered her dress and that I was really excited. I might post something when we hit the year mark but at this point I'm not sure what else there is to post lol. I try to be vague about specific details and dates so people don't get the impression they might be invited.

Wedding planning was a bit hard for us due to family illness, and also I was tired of hearing "oh you're getting married in Winnipeg? Why not in [wherever they live]?". So, I decided not to post ANYTHING other than a couple engagement photos. Well, when I changed my status and posted a few wedding pictures, I had a floodgate of people ANGRY at me for not letting them know I was getting married, and of course offended that I didn't invite them - and in the same message, asking how come I didn't get married in a city that was more convenient for them. So now I hate social media.

I post a lot about my wedding. Most the people on my fb are family or friends that are invited. The rest are understanding that I don't know them well enough or don't have enough space. I actually couldn't keep it off if I tried lol. FH FMIL and FSIL as well as my sister and her mom post things to my wall all the time. I have a lot of friend getting married right now as well. They are constantly asking for my help, I am completely booked and ready to go for the most part. I brag about my crafts, signs and décor I make. I also started an event page so most the posts go there and not on the news feed.

I posted on Instagram and Facebook when we got engaged and pictures from our engagement party. I won't be posting anything else until we get married. As far as what others post...I saw someone post about needing rsvps back asap! They made a long status about it and tagged the people who hadn't returned theirs. I just wish I could have left a comment telling them to join WW!

I've posted my ring, also posted on Facebook that we booed our venue! Still haven't posted a date for privacy reasons.

I have friends on fb that post about every little detail about their weddings, complete with excessive countdowns. That made me want to not post much about my wedding. I announced my engagement, posted a ring pix, and will probably post a pic from my bachelorette since we will be in wine country and it will be scenic.

I post on FH's WALL more often then I post things to my actual facebook so others can see. There have been a few "100 days!" or whatever, and one where I posted the most grotesque wedding dress I could find with a "I just couldn't wait to show FH...aren't you sooo excited?!" that was actually really funny and no one said anything. I'd neeeeeeeeever post something like "our hotel block expires!" or "don't forget to rsvp!" because that's just unnecessary.

I was tagged in shower pics so I posted a thanks to my BMs and mom for the shower, besides that I agree. Engagement and wedding only.

So far I've done the ring pic/status change/engagement pics. I'll also do the wedding pics, of course. Other than that, I don't post anything to FB, but I think I might start posting to IG to get it out of my system. The only people I'm friends with on IG are people invited to the wedding, celebrities, and some fellow WW girls, so I don't think anyone will be asking for an invite (and my IG is not linked to FB)

I've also posted a thank tou to my girls for my shower

I feel the same way you do Elizabeth - I did post about my frustration when the shop where I bought my wedding closed and I had to go grab it unaltered from their warehouse, that is the only thing other than the things that you mentioned that I posted on social media (with the exception of "we're married", and wedding pics, since those events have yet to occur).

I kept things almost entirely off FB. We never changed our status to "engaged"; in fact, the only hint of getting married we put on FB was sharing the sneak peeks of our e-pics that the photographer posted. Of course, we never made an official announcement IRL either... people just found out by word of mouth. After the wedding, I changed my name and status immediately after the ceremony and posted a few pictures, but that was it. I didn't want to deal with drama. I put some pictures on IG though.

I post very little. I posted my e-ring when I 1st got engaged saying yay we are getting married or something to that effect. Otherwise, I think I've posted 2 wedding related articles. My girlfriends will occasionally send me something wedding related like recently, one friend sent me a youtube video of a couple's wedding and they had some silly dance, with my friend's status on it as "wouldn't this make for a fun wedding" - me: obligatory "like" haha. Other than that I definitely DO NOT POST how many days my wedding is in! That is a big no-no. There are some people on fb that I would not want them taking note of those days and showing up uninvited. Seriously. Big no no for me.

Since being engaged I posted..."we got engaged!" "we finally have a fricken date!" "I said yes to the dress" "X # of vendors booked..feeling super productive." "awesome day spent with my momma doing wedding stuffs" "shout out to X for helping me stuff, seal and address save the dates" and "sneaking out of class to take a road trip and pick up my wedding dress!"

All very vague posts, BUT social media is how I mainly keep in contact with family in Europe.

I started getting "I better get an invite" messages the day I posted our engagement. I put up a picture of my ring with the caption "Soooo this just happened" lol and the comments, inboxes and texts began. So at that moment I KNEW that the FB information would be limited.

ETA: spelling

I post more on Instagram. I've posted some things like finding my dress, booking our venue, etc.

But I haven't done shit like "Making up our guestlist!" and shit like that. I have a good friend of mine who actually got mad at me because I said something when I should have kept my mouth shut, but she got engaged not long after me, set their date without ever looking at a venue and is now posting every single detail. She even posted a picture of her hand written guest list and all hell broke loose. I told her to stop doing it, because all she's doing is making people crazy and/or butthurt their name isn't on that list. Ugh

Nicole- there was a girl on my Facebook who posted EVERY STEP "going to meet with the florist." "met with the florist, they are a little more then the other two florist.......etc....." It was like reading a wedding novel each Facebook status.

nope. really wanted to say "no one cares" but thats mean so I didn't
