Faux Pas or Nah: Texting the bride or groom on the wedding day?

Nah unless it’s a question you need a response to. Texting sweet, positive messages is great.

Totally depends on what the text is about. If it’s something like “what time should we be there” or basic info like that, there are a boat load of other people you can ask...or just refer to the website

I agree with Gen on this one!
Anything other than an encouraging message needs to be redirected to the MOB, MOH, FOG, MOG, or literally anyone other than the bride and groom.

Faux pas.

Any congratulations can wait for in person at the wedding or after if you were unable to attend. Any serious messages shouldn't expect answers. My phone will be locked in the safe in the bridal suite upon my arrival. My wedding website will have a note to direct any important calls to my mom (she offered) or to call the venue directly.

That's a good point! I'm sure it's nice to see positive messages the morning of when you are feeling stressed and what not!

I think so, too! It's situational for me, but I most likely won't be answering anything once I start getting ready!

You can text me, I won't answer Lol. Unless you are getting ready with me, my FH, or a vendor, I will be ignoring you lol

100% not ok unless you are 1) in the bridal party and need help 2) the day-of coordinator and there's an emergency you can't put out or 3) wishing the bride/groom a happy wedding day. If you dare text me questions about what to wear, when to be where, etc. on my wedding day, do not expect a response.

Faux pas! I'm really hoping my guests agree.. I think the exception would be bridal party and other close family that is involved during the day before the ceremony.

I don’t see an issue with it, as long as it’s not a bunch of stuff bothering them.
I was actually on my phone communicating a good bit with my husband the day of our wedding, but he’s the only one I talked to.

I don’t see an issue with this at all. If I’m too busy to answer, I won’t answer. But it’s not a bother.

A singular, short, and sweet message is fine. I know some people would send these big ole paragraphs gushing about how exciting they are for me and I'm so grateful that they would do that but... Ain't nobody got time for that!

My phone will be off. So while I would never text someone on their wedding day, I won't be worried at all. If we were having a large wedding with lots of guests, I'd have someone fielding calls in case guests are having problems of any sort.

I dont want to deal with questions day of. Like you couldnt have asked me this yesterday? or a week ago? If its what food would i like or sweet sentiments thats fine with me. I would expect the bride and groom to be very busy so i'd only ask if i absolutely needed to or if it solely pertains to something of importance pertaining to the wedding.

It depends on the message. Aka please don’t stress me out on day of

If it's something like "looking forward to celebrating with you today!" I think it's fine, as long as you're not expecting me to reply before the end of the day. I also wouldn't mind if they're questions from my parents or close friends. Anyone else, please direct the questions to someone else!!

Yep exactly!! My cousin was telling me some of the texts she got the morning of asking about wedding details and I was shocked!

Not even sweet messages. Day before or day after. Bride will be dealing with time sensitive issues

I don't think it's a big deal, as long as you don't expect a response right away.
