Do you post about your wedding on social media?

I posted a few things on Facebook in the first couple weeks, but then I read somewhere it's rude to the people not invited to the wedding, which I totally agree with. Most of my Facebook friends are adult enough to not care if they're not invited, but it's not necessary to post about it on FB. But...

I posted a few things on Facebook in the first couple weeks, but then I read somewhere it's rude to the people not invited to the wedding, which I totally agree with. Most of my Facebook friends are adult enough to not care if they're not invited, but it's not necessary to post about it on FB. But I've seen so many friends do it! From asking for RSVPs, to going as far as asking for everyone's addresses! (that had to have ended in disaster!)

I feel like I know the general consensus here as most of you are very etiquette-minded, but do any of you go against the rules on this one?

    I put general things there like "dress shopping with the girls, wish us luck!" or things after the fact once in a while. I never posted the date or location of the wedding. We did post pics of the January wedding in the hospital, and got ZERO negative comments about it (except the bitch Aunt who did not know Dad was that sick blah blah and called my aunt(mother figure) and brother and reamed them a new asshole over it. Even she was ok after it was explained why and dad died a few days later.

    We have a private group for bridal party members only. Also, I have messaged some cousins to get their address, but nothing else really, other than a status change. I see everyone else posting things a lot though. My friend even posted her STD's. I will post engagement pics and I know my sister and friends will post things from the bridal shower.

    I haven't posted much about the wedding aside from changing the status to engaged, ring picture and the latest was the number of days left. FH doesn't want me to post too much info about the wedding because of the guest list issue. I hardly ever post in general, and when I do, it's mostly pictures of our kids.

    I haven't even changed my status to "engaged". As far as pinterest, not only do I have it set to NOT post ANYTHING to my fb, but all of my wedding boards are "secret boards".

    I do occasionally post about the wedding and I have asked for addresses on FB but I privately messaged that certain individual. I see nothing wrong with that. I refused to hold my happiness in just because people want to assume their invited. That's their fault for assuming not mine.

    I have no issue with it. I realize I'm not close enough to a lot of my Fb friends and therefore wouldn't be invited to their wedding, and I think it works both ways.

    I posted I was engaged but that was it. I haven't mentioned anything about the wedding.

    I don't post about it at all. I did share an article about rings yesterday but that's the closest I've gotten. I will message people for addresses i don't have. I don't want a bunch of people that I'm not even close to, asking to come. One of my former friends kept posting about getting married and though i was happy for her, i felt she was just looking for attention. Drove me nuts. I said something to her, she didn't like it and unfriended me. I'm not heartbroken over it. But obviously posting about a wedding can have many different outcomes.

    You can set restricted lists so that only the people invited/interested can see your wedding posts. I post basically *nothing* on social media, but if I were going to post anything wedding-centric that would be how I would do it.
