Facebook Etiquette

I didn't post about my wedding at all until that week. I didn't want people inviting themselves, but also because my friends have been married 10 years or more. They are so beyond weddings it's ridiculous. Not that they aren't / weren't excited for us, but this was my second wedding and I just wanted to keep it low key.

I post very rarely about my wedding. I made a post when I got my dress and that was it.

I posted when we got engaged and then I posted some of my favorite epics but that's it. I'll probably post some pics after the wedding and I don't mind if people tag me in any.

I didn't. I figured why open yourself up to awkwardness? Like people asking for invitations..I only posted twice..once when I ran errands with my sister including getting my dress..And one the day of.

I don't post about my wedding, ever. I had one friend post of pic of me with wedding dresses (not in them but next to them) and I asked her to take it down. People don't want to hear how many days I have left or that I am debating real vs fake flowers. Since I get to post all that here I feel no need to put in on FB.

It's like when new Mom's post 60 thousand pics of their kids on a daily basis....no ones cares. And those that do will ask, that's what private messaging and texts are for.

I've posted once, just to say we were getting married but that's it. Not even sure I've changed by status.. I don't want people to be sick of my wedding before it even happens! But then I don't post much on FB anyway, a few travel pics and things that made me laugh.

I guess I'm the black sheep. I post wedding related stuff and I have no shame or regret about it. I haven't had the issue of anyone "inviting themselves," etc. Probably because even a year out, I posted a status that said, "Look, we love you all but please understand that not everyone we'd like to invite can be invited to the wedding." I got nothing but SUPPORT from friends saying, "It's fine! We understand! Be sure to post pics! That's good enough for us!"

I don't post ALL the time about the wedding. I do post our wedding website along with a wedding day countdown like "X number of days left, check out our website for updates, etc." I know I've posted pictures of my ring, changed my relationship status, even posted little "sneak peeks" of details, etc. I probably Instagram (without posting to Facebook at the same time) more wedding stuff as more people I know aren't INTO Instagram yet. So, I use that when I feel like FB has been over used for wedding stuff that month, etc.

I don't see ANYTHING wrong in being excited, and sharing these details. If people aren't invited, they need to understand it and let it go. I support so many friends who are getting married that can't afford to invite me. It doesn't bother me at all.

I even supported one of my middle school friends throughout her complicated wedding, and I wasn't invited. She will be invited to our wedding, and I'm thrilled about it.

Again, black sheep, but if I want to post something, I'm going to post something. If someone doesn't want to see it, block my posts. I really don't care. It's a HUGE event, and no one should be afraid/weary of what they post in that regard.

We changed our status to "engaged" at the same time, sitting on the laptops in the same room and also the picture to the left is our profile pics. I don't believe I have posted much on there especially the date and locations. I may make a post about some small thing like Dress shopping gives me a headache but nothing direct. Too many FB friends majority of won't be getting invited. Old high school classmates and co workers are really not on guest list.

I'm not inviting everyone I'm FB friends with so I don't want to rub it in their faces. Yes, I realize some won't even care, but I know some might. I'm certain everyone knows I'm engaged as my status says so, but they don't need to know every single detail of my life in general. Besides, anyone who posts too much on my own newsfeed, I block them.

We changed our status, I posted when I found the dress but it was simply said yes to the dress. I did post a few engagement pictures.

None of my cousins are invited (I have a bunch of cousins) so I try not to post to much stuff.

I posted things like "Wedding dress shopping!" or "Brunch with my Bridesmaids!" and I would post milestone countdown days like "300 to go!" and "100 to go"

Honestly thought it was more for my family, my aunts and my then FHs family were always bugging me to post more pictures or more wedding info, so I did it mainly for them. However my friends cared so it didn't bug them. At least they didn't tell me to my face haha

I posted a pic and a status that we were engaged (after calling close friends and family). I think I did post the date when we started booking things, but that's only because I got so sick of people asking me when I was going to set a date.

I don't think a little bit of sharing is bad, but no one wants to see constant updates about something they don't care about.

I think the key is moderation. Don't post every decision because that will annoy people. But every so often a post isn't bad. I've posted twice I think besides changing my relationship status to engaged lol. When we booked our venue and a link to slideshow of our engagement pics. I'll probably post when I get my dress in lol. Just because I'm way too excited! But milestones/fun events only... dont post that you changed your colors for the 3rd time lol ain't nobody got time for that except you.

Amy A. what do you mean dont ever say "Blessed"?

I chose don't to post any information about our wedding on FB page. I'm a member of a wedding group that is for brides only on FB.

I just don't want to hear from anyone that's not invite nor do I want any opinions from my FB friends.

The only thing "wedding" related I did, was change my status to "engaged".

I don't really post about it. Mostly because I have had a few friends that I wanted to defriend because of how much they posted. I mean like 5 times a day. Pictures of mason jars EVERYWHERE! I don't mind an occasional post. I think it's a big part of someones life. If it's going to hurt anyone by posting then I would hide them I think. I think everyone on my friends list though that would care at all is invited. I love looking at people's wedding photos though no matter who they are.

I don't. I had a comment on my wall from my old boss about my wedding (all good) and I thanked her and wrote a comment back so she would see it and then his the whole thing. It's too awkward for too many people I think

I was just asking myself this same question. I have not posted much on FB besides our engagement and ring pictures. But yesterday I was very excited about booking the cruise for our honeymoon and posted about it. Now I wish I didn't because I had a few people that are not invited who started asking about date of wedding.

I do have a private group for the bridal party and I post on it when I am feeling excited

@Soon2beMrsLitte, I think Amy A. is referring to people who always say stuff like, "OMG I am so blessed... I have this, this, and this and I'm so incredibly BLESSED."

I have people on my News Feed like that.. and it's a word that gets thrown around a lot.. sure, of course you actually ARE blessed, but the term is so over used and becomes annoying.

That's how I take it anyway. I don't want to speak for Amy A., though.

I get that way when people say, "prayers needed.. pray for me... pray, pray, pray. There's NOTING wrong with PRAYING.. but I always like to know WHAT you need my prayers for exactly...

Some times you know people but you don't REALLY know them.. as a friend of ours has said (in a joking but serious way), "you could be wanting to do something bad! Why would I send you prayers to do something BAD?!" lol.
