Facebook announcement?

Mr&Mrs89, on February 16, 2016 at 10:04 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 47

Is it tacky to announce wedding date on Facebook? Thinking of doing "so excited our big day is booked! July 22 2017 is the day, unfortunately we won't be able to invite everyone but you all will be in our hearts on our special day"

We are only inviting 30 people. Immediate family and close friends.

    Do not do a fb announcement to your entire friends list unless you're inviting them all. An engagement announcement, sure. You can post pictures of your wedding day, but don't a wedding announcement.

    I would think it depends on your audience. I have some pretty outspoken friends and family so a status like that on fb would def get attention.

    I personally wouldn't post it to avoid unnecessary confusion and awkward situations for others and you down the road.

    Strongly recommend against it. Excited about planning, sure, but don't remind people they may not be invited. Maybe something like "picked the date - so excited!" Or something like that if you must reference the actual date.

    You're opening up the door for people to invite themselves if you do that. Just don't.

    Definitely a bad idea to post information like that on social media, like others have stated you're opening the doors for people to self invite and then it just gets awkward.

    Don't post it like that. When we finally booked our date, I think I posted something like a screenshot of the calendar on my phone that said Wedding<3 on the date or something like that with a caption "It's official!". But that was it and I had no problem from people. But don't post "here's our date, but you probably aren't invited"

    No announcement.. Maybe just engagement pictures or from parties etc.. If anyone was to ask me why they are not invited (which I feel no one will lol awkward) I will say it is an intimate wedding just close family and friends

    I had a friend do that last year and i personally thought it was a horrible idea. I am using evite.com for my invites. It is cheaper than doing paper invites but alot more personal.

    People get weird about weddings. For some reason you mention a wedding and people come out of the woodwork expecting invites or just making it awkward in general.

    Definitely don't post the date on Facebook for friends who aren't actually invited to see. Maybe share your excitement by contacting some of your closest friends and family that you know will be invited no matter what and sharing the date with them?

    Eh, I wouldn't do a Facebook announcement. Just send STDs and your invites when the time comes.
