Guests posting wedding pics on facebook

I'm the same way. I'd rather have them put on wedpics.com or something like that first. I'll share the candids on FB if I feel necessary.

I think you can make a blurb in your programs or have something some place that it's going to be seen that says:

We would appreciate an unplugged wedding and also we ask that you please re-frame from adding any pictures of us to social networking site thank you "the sprinkles"

I did an "unplugged" ceremony (no cameras/phones), but let ppl have fun taking pics at the reception. That way the more intimate parts of your day aren't broadcasted on FB. For the most part ppl respected our wishes, the only ceremony pics I saw on FB were from my photographer.

I, personally, don't care. And, honestly, I know I'm not going to be able to stop people from doing it so I would rather just embrace it!

We created an Instagram hashtag and are encouraging people to use it to share pics.

I would have loved to be able to control all the pictures that went on Facebook. If only to not have strangers (because friends of my friends aren't necessarily friends of mine) looking and commenting on it. To me, it's like this weird infringement on my special day.

But.

It's a reality of life these days. I attempted having an unplugged ceremony, but apparently people didn't read my website, didn't read their programs and missed the signs. It is what it is.

I don't think you'll realistically be able to keep people from posting them, though.

I felt the same way Amy did. i had to wait weeks for my pro photos. once the wedding was over i wanted to see photos RIGHT NOW! some of my favorite pics were ones friends took and those held me over until the pro ones came out. i think i would have gone insane if no one had posted pics to facebook.

Well one of my BMs is facebook CRAZY and posted pics of us getting ready while we were still getting ready. That really drove me bonkers. I wish they could at least wait a day.

@soonyee...i can definitely understand being annoyed by that!

Its inevitable I guess. BUT I would be PISSED if a bridesmaid/guest posted a pic of me dressed up before the ceremony lol. I hope they'd know better!

I want them posted too sorry I love seeing all kinds of photos and POV even if they are not professional.

@Julie A. Yeah I had to call DH and tell him not to go on Facebook since he didn't want to see me before the ceremony.

And I didn't want to ask the BM to delete it (because she'd flip) and I didn't want to get into it on my wedding day so I ignored it. Most of the people at our wedding weren't FB friends with her either.

Snap. Post. & Tag me!!! LOL

I'm okay with it. I have my privacy settings where I have to approve tags prior to going on my wall, but other than that, it's cool. I'm going to ask someone to keep my phone and take pics with it so I'll have some candid shots to see. Also, one of my Dad's friends is a semi-pro photographer and he agreed to take candid shots.

We are doing Instagram, I hope people post pictures on there. Don't care much for FB, if people post them cool, if they don't same thing, Lol. I only have 2 girls in my BP and they don't have FB.

I was ok with it, as long as it wasn't pics of me pre wedding (which didn't happen) but one of my bridesmaids did go onto our photographers photo page and take pictures on her phone of my wedding photos (it wouldn't let her download them for copyright) and post the mobile versions of my professional wedding photos on FB and tag me in them, before the wedding photographer or I had had a chance to upload them.

I WANTED them to post! Some who hadn't yet, I was actually asking them to do so. I don't mind at all. But I can see how some people would mind. To each their own.

I don't want anything up there, ceremony-wise, that I didn't put up there. My photographer will put one picture up on her page. The ceremony is unplugged. If I see a phone I'm coming to get it....and if that has to happen....MMMMmmmMMMM.

I had an unplugged ceremony, but the reception was free game. However, no one posted pictures from the reception. I think it was because we had hired photographers every where, and if someone wanted a photo, they were right there to get it.

I'm really torn on this. We're having an unplugged ceremony. I don't want pics going on Face book and I don't want to be tagged at all. I'm thinking of just deleting my face book a month before the wedding to avoid knowing some pictures went up.

I'm with Amy on this also, i would love my guests to post not only so i can see some pics before the pro's come back but so all my other friends/family that i couldn't invite/ couldn't make it can see them and not be left out.

Maybe you can ask them to send all pictures to you, so that you can put them together in your OWN album? If you want to share them on Facebook, by your own merit, you can always control the privacy settings to monitor who can and can't see them.
