Do you post about your wedding on social media?

I also feel more obligated to post occasionally since I am 13 hours away from my family, and we mostly keep up with each other through FB. I am also the type I rarely posted anything about my relationship prior to getting engaged. FH and I were in school together so obviously we were at the same place at the same time most of the time. Funny because I was getting question a lot rather FH and I were actually together because I live w/ him 3 months after the bar and I moved into my own place (I guess ppl started to think we broke up bc i got a job and moved out), so I actually posted something like "when its real, you'll know it, and I will have no problems telling the world" like a week later we were engaged.

I did and then realized it was a no-no. I found out the hard way when my family had an entire forum about it asking questions, what is the date again?, did you get your invite yet?, where is it?...etc This was right after I posted something wedding related and I've never posted since then. I also blocked people posting on my page until after the wedding. Just Don't Do It

I changed my status to "engaged," I posted engagement pictures, and on FH's birthday, I said "happy birthday to the man I'm going to marry in 5 months." That's it.

You can set up "groups" of your FB friends. I have a group that is only people invited to the wedding so whenever I post anything I filter it so only that subset of my friends can see it.

I posted a picture of my ring about a week after FH proposed (we waited until we told his family) and that was about it... occasionally I change my profile pic to a different one of FH and I or the ring but no details.

We posted when we got engaged and our engagement photos only because our photographer tagged us in the pictures which we were fine with. We just sent out STDs and someone took a picture and added it and I immediately called her to take it off. I didn't want people who aren't invited to see all our information, its not for them its for our guests. And there were a lot of people we couldn't invite and felt bad. Plus FH wants to invite his work buddies if a lot of people say no so he didn't want them to know they are on the "B List".

I know or have seen a lot of people that do post and I creep/ judge. I don't like it and its annoying for the people that keep doing the #oneyear #11months #10months #100days...we get it you are getting married...STOP!

I don't have FB so no I don't post wedding stuff on social media.

@purplekitten, my FIL likes to give me a hard time. I told him if he keeps it up he's not invited lol

Same as @Mrs. in May. I post exactly the same sort of things. With family and friends spread out over two countries and several cities, I just keep people in the loop. I figure if anyone on there is put off by my posts (which are pretty infrequent as far as wedding stuff goes), then they can unfollow me. I try very hard to be considerate of people's feelings, but I'm sure that in the midst of all this excitement I might get gushy...probably do. Can't help myself. I am excited beyond words.

I don't think I have done anything yet besides changed my status to engaged. I honestly have tried not to talk to much about it with anyone outside of my fmil(we get to see her every couple of months or so) and my sister's and mom and even with them it's kinda limited. I have had several friends post things about their wedding on fb. Do I mind, neck no. In fact I am happy for them that they are so excited. Note if they did it all the time I would just probably get sick of it.

I think some people were actually a little offended that we didn't post anything on FB... because we never made a big announcement. People are just getting too used to EVERYTHING getting shared on FB... you know, it's not official until it's FB official...

When my photographer posted our sneak e-pics on her FB page, I shared one. I guess that's as close as I've ever gotten to putting something wedding related on FB.

NO!!! Why? Because when I changed my "relationship status" friends and relatives came out of the woodwork and were immediately fishing for invites. When we got engaged we were in no way prepared to get married soon so we had a hard time leaving people in "limbo" regarding who was going to get invited. That is why I come on here

IF I do post..it's generic...I don't rant or mention the actual wedding or wedding countdown on social media

I have somewhat. Like making a status about getting my dress, finding our venue, etc. But I haven't posted our date or anything.

I rarely ever post about the wedding on social media....the one time i did, and it was in reference to dress shopping, i had some random fans asking to be invited because they wanted to meet my man of honor and get an autograph...really?!?! so rude. that put an end to any wedding references real quick

When I first got engaged, I posted a picture of my ring and whatnot. But other than that, no.

Since we're only inviting 20 people, (FH, the kiddos, and I make 24!) we really want to keep things hush-hush so no one tries to start any drama about why they are not invited.

Vaguely, yes. I do share big things on facebook. We posted about our engagement a few days after it happened and an album of our favorite engagement photos. I think I posted a wow, this is feeling real type status when I booked a hotel room for our wedding night. I recommend our photographer to friends online when they ask because I love her work. I will share some DIY snapshots, but maybe only on IG, not facebook. I might post about dress shopping or saying yes to the dress, but no photos and I'd even rather not check in at the bridal salon or tag the friends who are there (I know someone will try to do that). In person I'll only talk about details with people who are invited, and even then less is more, so why would I share more than that on public social media?

I try to keep wedding related things off FB. My MOH, though, got excited and posted a few things and caused exactly what I was afraid of- drama. My SIL found out via fb that she wasn't in the bridal party- no the way I wanted to talk to her. Since then, I have a private group set up for our wedding party members so I can share info and MOH can be as excited as she wants.

The few things I have posted include things like- announcing our engagement (duh), looking for recommendations on vendors in my area since I know several ladies on fb who have recently gotten married, on new years I wrote a vague status about knowing what I was most excited about this year- those that knew were excited, those that didn't didn't comment, and I posted a status when we hit the 6 month mark. I will likely not post again until shower/bach pictures, or until we are days away.

I don't want all my guests/facebook to know what my wedding looks like before it happens.

I've shown a couple friends privately my chosen venue via URL. After engagement I probably won't post much other than engagement photos and maybe key countdown numbers (like 200, 100, 30, 10 etc).

I've posted things as simple as "I feel so accomplished" but never anything specific. I have FB friends who I went to high school with, and even further back that I don't even talk to outside of FB. They wouldn't be out of joint or offended because I haven't seen them in 10+ years. But when I need info from people I set my message so only certain people can see it. When looking for addresses, that's what a PM was for, not a status.
