Save the Date

Is it acceptable to post one's Save the Date card to social media in addition to sending them to those you are closer to?

    Only if you are inviting every single person on your social media and all the people they share it with.

    Sure, if every single one of your social media friends/followers is invited to the wedding.

    I wouldnt. That opens up a whole can of worms and people begging to be invited.

    If you are literally inviting everyone that has the possibility of seeing it, go for it. If you're not - then that's kind of opening up a lot of doors for drama down the road when people say "well you posted the save the date and I haven't seen my invitation so...."

    I guess it's acceptable, but only if you're inviting all of your social media friends to your wedding. I wouldn't because I don't want all of my social media friends at my actual wedding.

    I would avoid posting it on social media. Send them out to people you plan to invite only. The etiquette is to only send them to invited guests, and you don't want to open yourself up to other friends trying to invite themselves or asking if they can be invited.

    Not unless you are inviting every single one of your Facebook friends & everyone you are inviting is on your Facebook. I'd just send them to everyone in the mail.

    If you don’t want to mail save the dates you can use Appy couple ($49) and send an appy card. Then you can use it to send your actually invites down the line. I used it for invites and for my wedding website and everyone loved it.

    We didn’t, but both of our moms just posted the cards we sent them on Facebook 🤦🏻‍♀️
    I’m honestly just waiting for the “well, where’s mine?”

    I would not do that bc you don’t want ppl who aren’t invited to see that.

    A girl I know on FB (friend of a friend) posts every wedding decision she makes. Every time there are over 30 comments on the post saying "we can't wait for the wedding!". She then replies to each of these saying they were having a small wedding with friends/family, and wish they could invite everyone, but can't afford it.

    So uncomfortable. Not only did all these people get excited then let down, but the bride has to uninvite all of them. I do not post anything on social media except a few of our engagement pics so I can avoid all that drama.

    Thanks. I do have a Facebook account, but I quit posting several years ago due to some family issues.
