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

I wouldn't and if you do, do NOT expect a response. I've heard from a lot of planners that it might be good to elect someone to hang on to your phone so that they can pre-screen any texts for you. That way, if someone really needs to get in touch with you they have a way, but someone else can reply to all the pleasantry messages and let you worry about enjoying your day.

Try to only text the bride if you are intimately involved (ie. Do you want me to pick you up a coffee before your makeup appointment?).

Otherwise if you must text them, do not send something that warrants a response, or do not expect a response.

It depends. I got a few general "so excited for the big day!" texts that no one expected me to respond to. It was nice that people reached out. As long as you're not texting for directions or what time the wedding is or something, I can't see that bothering me too much. I probably just wouldn't have answered!

The chances I’ll be looking at my phone that day are slim to none. In fact, (I haven’t told her yet) I plan on having my MOH in charge of my phone the day of

I think it’s ok to send a message that doesn’t require a response. I have 12 bridesmaids that will be able to recieve texts, and respond to questions if they need something.

You can send texts of well wishes but we aren't responding on this day. We won't be using our phones on this day.

Faux pas. They're already going to be so busy; there should be someone else you can text.

Faux Pas. There will be a point person to direct questions to. My phone wont be on or any where near me anyway so it wont be helpful to people at all.

One of MOH /FSIL will handle any calls prior to my DOC being there.

Do not text me on my wedding day! I have enough to do thank you. I would not even think to text someone, even family on their wedding day.

I would rather not have anyone text me but if they do, I would like it to be something short and sweet and to not take offense if I don't reply back because DUH! it's my wedding day, I'll be a tad bit busy.

I agree with most of the people on here. It is situational. I am a big part in planning my wedding but I don't want questions like when is the wedding start. Where do we park.... people will not like my responses. I will have my phone on me all day, i am modifying my dress to have a pocket just for it. It's my way of keeping track of my family & all wedding planning with my Designated wedding planner. I will however pass my phone to MOH to answer questions my Dtr don't mind.

Faux pas. Leave them alone! They are going to be super busy and you can talk to them later.

Definetly not anything I need to respond to, but a congratulations or something sweet is definetly ok ❤️❤️

As long as you’re not “bugging” them

Leave the bride and groom alone. Contact the day of coordinator with questions.

Lol I chuckled at this. I feel the same way, but in the end, if they do I just won't be responding. My phone will either be on silent or my sister will have my phone.

Definitely a faux pas unless it is something urgent that no one else could answer. Leave them alone to plan and get ready for a long day and evening ahead!

I think it's ok to text them. I was texting people on my wedding day

I had a “close” friend text me at 12:30 when my wedding was at 1:00 telling me that she couldn’t make it because she’d worked that morning and was too tired. We haven’t hung out since and that was 2 years ago. Others that weren’t even invited texted me to say happy wedding day. I thought that was nice and I did actually try to reply when I had time.
