How much have you shared on social media?

Kelly, on August 3, 2018 at 10:05 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 45

Living in the 21st century, our lives seem to revolve around social media - and it’s no different when it comes to weddings! Did you announce your engagement on social media? Have you shared your wedding countdown or planning updates? Where are you sharing your news (facebook? Instagram? snapchat?) and how much info are you sharing?

    We announced our engagement about a week after we told our families.

    I made one of our engagement photos my profile pic on Facebook.

    My sister shared pictures from when I found my dress (not of my dress, but all of us at lunch) and my FMIL posted about how we were getting married in the same church the rest of their family got married in when we booked it because it was special to her. Our DOC posted a photo of us after she booked us welcoming us to her 'family', our photographer shares some of our photos every once in a while too on his Instagram.

    All in all we have kept quiet on social media about where we are in planning. On our anniversary we mentioned we had one more year until we get married (because we are getting married on our anniversary). We didn't want a ton of opinions, we get enough from our families, and we didn't want to be too annoying to others.

    Pretty much only when we got engaged. I posted about trying to find an officiant and people kept asking me if they were getting invited so I had to delete the post. I decided to post about planning stuff only on WW. 😊

    We shared when we got engaged back in October 2016. But other then that I honestly only put up a pic of us with our marriage cert a few days before the wedding. I didn't want everyone to start thinking why am I not invited? or reaching out to be invited. I also did make a secret group on facebook about 30 days before the wedding with those OOT that were invited to let them know about hotel info and ceremony start time. After the wedding I put up our short film we received so far from the videographer. Once we get the full length film and our pro pics I will share those as well.

    We shared when we got engaged but, nothing since. I don't need any more people asking me questions, giving opinion, or asking for invitations! LOL

    I posted about the engagement, but that was it. I did not want to deal with people self inviting themselves and being disappointed when they aren't actually invited. I also shared some engagement photos, but those aren't really wedding details Smiley smile

    We both shared on FB when we got engaged in 2014 but nothing since. I am friends with my bio father's family but I am not inviting anyone from that side so I am waiting till the wedding is over and they cant just show up before anything is announced.

    I made a post on Facebook about wedding, and a couple of people message me or commented that they can’t wait to come to the wedding.

    Here is the thing, it isn’t in my budget to have those people. So I stopped making post so I don’t have to get as many people asking when they will get the invite.

    I was kind of forced to share our engagement on social media, because one of my SIL was so excited that she was going to announce it for us. We called and told our parents first, then went to see them in person when we got back from our vacation, and that's when SIL asked me to post about it.

    I also didn't post anything specific about the wedding at first on SM, but I was tagged in a lot of wedding-day photos from my guests, so it is out there. I did put up a temporary profile photo on FB from our wedding day while we were on our honeymoon. I didn't post anything about it before hand.

    Oh, and I did post a few honeymoon photos on FB too. We were mostly unplugged for the week, so didn't have too many HM photos to share anyway.

    I havent shared anything. I have such a strict budget/guest list that I feel like I will upset people that weren't invited.

    We announced our engagement in January, but everything else such as our wedding date, location, and plans we have not announced. We plan to announce our date once we do our engagement shoot for STD's and invitations. It's crazy because people are literally analyzing everything we post trying to figure out more info on our wedding.

    I think that's all I'm going to do as well, I feel like everything else is between my family, wedding party, FH and me!

    I totally get that, I feel the same way! I've seen a lot of "I said yes to the dress posts" and I like those! But yes agree that everything else should be between you and your partner!

    I made an engagement post but that's it. FH was starting to write a very sweet post at the one year mark but I ask him not to. He was miffed at first but then I pointed out how awkward it is when someone who you don't intend to invite asks questions about the wedding. We certainly wouldn't want someone starting to make travel arrangements or anything. We have shared info with family and our wedding parties but that's about it

    I posted our proposal with photos (we were in the middle of a trip to Europe and I’d been posting pics from the trip fairly regularly) and I shared our engagement photos. I’ve also posted a couple of countdowns. Trying not to overshare, I have to remember no one cares about our wedding as much as we do, lol

    I dont share a ton because it is a family only wedding. But I did share the engagement and have done a few countdown posts for reminders. But I will flood my page with wedding photos, 100%

    Our engagement. I shared on Instagram and Facebook, and my fh shared on Twitter. My fmil and sister also shared. My fmil also shared the day I found my dress. That's all. I'll probably share pics at various parties (engagement, bridal etc.), our engagement pictures and at our one year out, but I dont plan on updating others about our plans.

    I announced our engagement on FB by changing my profile picture to us with my ring, posted photos of me and my bridesmaids after my shower, and then after my bachelorette party, with a little note to thank them for everything they did for me, and I also posted a photo of then-FH and I with our marriage license a couple weeks before the wedding.

    I never posted anything related to wedding planning, countdown, or location/date details on social media. Just pictures!
