How to ask people not to post pics of our wedding on social media the day of

I would have the person who is marrying you to tell everyone to shut there phones off, or if you are ok with them taking pictures have them say that 'pictures are ok but the bride and groom doesn't want ANYTHING posted, but guests are allowed to share what is posted by the bride and groom after the wedding' or something along those lines maybe

I don’t think there’s any way to prevent people from posting photos, but you can change your settings to where tagged photos don’t appear on your page without approval.

This is why I am choosing to have an unplugged ceremony.

My friend tried to do this for her gender reveal and it didn’t work...people will post without even thinking about you because they’re having fun and/or excited. Especially if there’s alcohol involved it’s going to be really hard to control people lol

I think you can ask with a verbal
announcement, and you can put it in writing in the program, but you can’t totally guarantee no one will post, mostly because people get excited and forget the request. Can you keep FH away from his phone to avoid any drama?

Has your FH blocked him on social media? You can ask your guests to refrain from posting pictures I guess but eventually this guy will likely find out one way or another you two got married.

I created an FB page for wedding announcements/questions (that way I wasnt answering the same thing 50 times). Only confirmed guests are on the page and that's my first announcement. Unplugged ceremony. While their phones/cameras are not welcome at the ceremony, I cant wait to see candids of the reception. My brother (best man) is also announcing it before the wedding starts, because he has a big booming voice (I love our officiant but hes very mild mannered and quiet, not many people heard him at the 2 other weddings I've been to).

Unfortunately, it may just happen and you should be prepared for the backlash if it does. We have that issue too but... weddings are too expensive to invite people that you dont care if they're there or not. Good luck.

I’ve been to weddings where the officiant has asked all guests to please refrain from sharing on social media (until the next day in their case). Or refrain from taking pictures during the ceremony at all. You could also make sure you have to approve tagging on you profile etc. If the wedding is really small I would also just talk to the people that post everything on social media and say we really don’t want this day shared online could you not post any of the photos you take.

View Quoted Comment This won't stop people from haggling pictures at the reception and posting them, though. I think OP is trying to prevent ANY pictures from being posted on social media.

Taking* not haggling lol.

View Quoted Comment This is probably your best bet. I also like the idea of making a request before the ceremony but it still doesn't guarentee anything and probably won't stop people.

Thanks for the responses! Yeah, I think what I will do is have the officiant say something and we will tell the bridal party. I actually don't think it's a big deal if it happens after the fact.
