Facebook bridal group

Taylor , on November 11, 2016 at 2:07 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 16

Hello everyone! I was just wondering.... is a Facebook group for my bridal party in personal? I just wanted and easy was to post important times and information without waiting for them to check their email since Facebook is so convenient. There is only 5 of them.

    If everyone has FB, I don't see an issue with it. I believe there are others on here who have done the same!

    Personally, I do not have/use FB. So if I was in a BP that was using it for communication, that would pose an issue!

    I think a facebook group is too much. Just call, text, or email if you need to get information out. I would also be 100% less likely to respond to a question posted in a facebook group rather than emailed to me. And I'd turn off the notifications for the group in about 6 seconds because I hate notifications.

    One of my BM's made a group on my behalf because the three of them decided it was the easiest route. They posted inspiration for me or funny pics to cheer me up when they knew I was down. It was also good for them to be able to go back to and find info they forgot about because we could pin important stuff to the top.

    it's completely up to you guys what you want to do. I wouldn't have set the group up myself, I'm glad they figured out on their own what worked best for them.

    I did a Facebook group and it worked out great. One of us could post something (an idea, thought, concern, etc) and the rest of us could respond at our leisure without annoying notifications every response. If there was any decision that needed to be made urgently we did that by text or phone. But, "what do you think of these shoes?" was all done in the group. Plus, having the group really promoted a "chat" type environment which allowed the girls to really get to know each other well prior to the wedding.

    I have one for my bridal party. It is an easy way for me to ask a questions and show them pictures and get feedback. I asked and they all liked the idea. I like it better than blowing everyone's phone up with a group text or sending an email.

    I did one and another friend who is on here did one as well. In my opinion, it was easy to keep all the info together because I hate group texts.

    I don't think so. My best friend had one and it was really convenient to share and post information for everyone to see.

    When my friend got married in July we just had a group message on FB, which half the time I missed since I don't really care for FB so we also communicated via texting. For mine I have texting with my girls, it is faster for us all.

    I have a FB group for my girls. We put ideas up there and important dates and times. Makes it a lot easier for them to communicate on their own.

    If they are into FB then it could be a great idea! Different things work for different people.

    I had to make one because we realized that group messages wouldn't reach everyone and people would get upset they didn't get certain information. It's a lot easier then 16 individual text messages.

    I have 1 because GROUP messaging wasn't going too good. Sometimes the messages wouldn't send so this was much easier to communicate with 7 people at one time.

    I was a bridesmaid in my friends wedding and there were 8 BMs and we were all part of a Facebook group so we could discuss ideas about bachelorette party and dress options and dates and times she wanted or needed us for things

    I have a group chat with my girls and a fb group with the entire party and ushers. It's been really helpful to keep everybody up to date with everything, especially as we get closer to the wedding. I'm super anal, though (not bridezilla anal, just I need to know I've done things and everyone knows what they need to know a million years in advance anal)

    I don't think it's too much. I'm thinking about doing something similar so everyone can share things without all of our phones constantly blowing up.

    I definitely suggest texting important dates and details if all the girls don't constantly check the page
