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

I say things like "I can't believe we are 46 days out!" things like that but I keep it simple. No information about the venue or time or anything.

The only thing I have done is change my relationship status on Facebook. I haven't posted anything else about it. I don't share much of anything on Facebook, I usually use it to see what everyone else is up to.

I posted when we got engaged. Our photographer tagged us in e-pics. I posted when there was 99 days left and then I tagged my BMs to thank them for my Bridal Shower. I won't put up anything else until maybe the day before.

I don't like when people post EVERYTHING about the wedding. When they books things, and DIY, telling people to RSVP and such. Its annoying to see every day.

I totally agree with Elizabeth's original post - Less is More! All I've done is changed my status when we got engaged in June. I'll post a wedding pic when it's all over.

I don't know if people realize how boring their life events are to other people. I want to read funny stuff on facebook or big things. Countdowns? No, don't care. I will like it to be polite. Constant posts about being pregnant? Hoooooly shit I don't care. Posts every 2.4 hours about what your new baby is doing? At this point, I've stopped liking your posts out of politeness. I don't care what you ate for lunch. I don't care that it's your dog's birthday. I don't care that you're tired and your kids got up at 9 lol.

Post funny or meaningful stuff and I will comment every time. Less is more is applicable to EVERYTHING on FB.

I don't see anything wrong with posting about wedding planning. As long as you aren't posting things like 'Don't forget to RSVP' or whatever. But I posted when we got engaged, e-pics, shower pics, when I SYYTD, and some other random DIY or checklist things. Obviously people know I am getting married, whether they are invited or not. Facebook is a place to share what you are excited about, I am obviously excited to get married!!!

That being said, I DID have a second cousin who was commenting/liking every post and eventually got the hint that she wasn't invited and posted this passive aggressive facebook post about not being invited to 'family events' but honestly I don't really care. If she asked, I would have no problem telling her why she wasn't invited.

I posted we got the venue we wanted and our wedding website. Me and FH have way too many military friends that obviously cannot make it, so it's a great way for those who cannot attend or be invited due to budget to keep up with the wedding.

I thought I was really "good" about keeping stuff off social media but reading your posts and comparing to myself, I guess I'm not really hahaha. I haven't posted much on FB - just an "announcement" when we got engaged (although my sister and my best friend had already "beat" me to it tagging me in their own status' haha), and changing my profile pic to a pic of me and my sister after my shower.

Instagram though (which I use more often in general) - I posted the same "engagement" photo of the night we got engaged; the same shower photos as above; a pic of my mom and FMIL wearing funny fascinators at Kleinfelds (from when I bought my dress); a pic of the BMs and I having brunch after they bought their dresses; a pic of my mom and I enjoying a sangria after we picked out her dress; a random photo on the three month mark (we happened to be walking around campus where our Church is - it's just a pretty photo of the area but there's a hashtag #3months); and recently a photo of us at the chef's table at the Ritz from our tasting. Oops lol.

ETA: Further to @Janeen's point, I do have a few friends who post a daily "countdown", and one who posted daily photos of her pregnancy bump from about month 2 up to the day she gave birth (there was a whole series of her walking to the car even). I don't think I'm THAT annoying. In the 11 months since we got engaged, I've posted about 15 photos that are remotely "wedding related" on IG (out of like 50 IG photos - like I said, I'm a bit of an IG whore lol) and 2 on FB.

Nothing over here. I posted when we got engaged and that was about it. I'll post pics after the wedding and I'm considering doing a hashtag so that I can have access to everyone else's photos of our wedding, but that's about it. We are having a small wedding and I didn't really want anyone to ask me where their invite was. I share my excitement via text or private FB groups with the folks that are going, or with you fine ladies.

I think pictures are less annoying than words about what you're doing. At least with pictures, there's something to look at.

I have changed my status and posted a ring pic, other than that nothing else. My MOH has shared stuff that is wedding related, but not directly related to my wedding, and I have shared stuff with her. Nothing else is going up until after we're married. Mainly because I have people on FB who are not invited to the wedding and I don't want hurt feelings.

I posted that we got engaged, a few engagement pics, and there have been a couple of pictures of wedding related things (when we got out selfie wall props and when I found my dress - a toast with my mom and friend).

It's so hard not to, but I haven't posted ANYTHING other than the engagement announcement. When I merely said something about my "hubby to be" I already got the invitation fishing, so I realized fast that I can't say anything on FB, although I really wanted to post something about our engagement party.
