Pinterest users?

Mary, on July 8, 2019 at 8:50 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 14

I am a die hard pinterest user and I have been since I was 16, before I even met my FH! I am still fairly young (almost 22) so I find myself much more technology involved than my other wedding planning peers. I am using a wedding hashtag, I am having all of my RSVPs on my website rather than paper, and I have planned every part of my wedding through Pinterest and WeddingWire! I am wondering if there any other tech savvy brides on here that are on the same boat as me! If so, I'd love to see your pinterest boards and ideas!

    I was the opposite! Don’t have a Pinterest and didn’t look on there once during planning haha.

    I had a Pinterest page, and the day after he proposed I created my board

    My save the dates are a Facebook event page. I'm having paper invites though, mainly because we both have quite a few older family members and other guests who don't have computers.

    I go to Pinterest for most things in my life and the wedding is no exception lol! I do have to admit though with all the beautiful things on Pinterest my vision has become a bit skewed, I definitely have to clean it up a bit leading up to the big day!

    I have, like, 4 or 5 different pinterest boards dedicated to wedding planning! I also have my RSVPs strictly on my website. I do have some physical lists though. I'm very type A and LOVE crossing off lists!

    I love Pinterest, I’ve also been using it forever. I feels like it’s a good way to help pull your vibe together. My board is https://pin.it/gimlchp3bj6p2e

    i also plan plan on using a wedding hashtag and have been thinking about going the online rsvp route! I’ve seen other brides do it that way via Zola and it went really well for them! It seems more cost efficient but I worry about older guest struggling with it which is why I’m a bit hesitant

    I am definitely using more technology than people expect. A lot of people used to have wedding binders and books and stuff. I just used pinterest and a spreadsheet on my computer. I'm also doing online RSVP so I hope that works out!

    I used Pinterest for decor & floral inspiration, then used Google Sheets for all my other planning. I found Pinterest to be a bit overwhelming, especially in early planning stages!

    I use pinterest pretty often!

    Before we told anyone other than our close family we were engaged we were saving stuff to my Pinterest...my one friend caught on and called me and was like "are you engaged?!?!?" I was like "who. told. you" she was like um, you never post wedding things like this on your pinterest.

    So. I made all of my wedding boards private Smiley xd and I haven't changed it because I have alot of friends planning weddings right around my wedding date and I didn't want us to have all of the same decor.

    But Pinterest has been my best friend! Many DIY ideas!

    Yeah I am also 22 and the same way. I can't link pinterest boards bc the site is blocked on my work computer but I would if I could lol. I also did online RSVP only. Just ordered RSVP cards to send w/ the invites that have our website (we used the knot and bought our own domain; ___andkellie.com) and my wedding email I created if they'd rather email me to RSVP. We have a wedding hashtag I have already begun using so my friends and family are very used to seeing it Smiley tongue

    I love Pinterest too! I did a ton of "just looking" way before we were ever engaged. I mean we dated for seven and a half years before he proposed. At some point, I decided it would be smart to have a bunch of the planning done so when he finally did get around to it, I could just knock things out. But then one wedding board became two, and two became four, and before you know it, I had about thirty different boards for various wedding, shower, and honeymoon topics. A sample:

    Entertainment (Games, Signs, Photo Ops, Signature Drinks) : https://pin.it/yzah25i64zqpah

    Be Our Guest (Guestbooks/Placecards/Welcome Bags): https://pin.it/63znlysyu5e2o2

    Decor (Tables, Tents, Lighting): https://pin.it/qfmevqtpkxkihf

    Favors: https://pin.it/dffnbsrkx3txg2

    Flower Power (Bouquets, Bridesmaid Bouquets, Table Arrangements, Aisle, Arch): https://pin.it/37lscp2j4u2sq4

    Getting Organized (Budget, Timeline, Changing the Name, Etiquette): https://pin.it/3pwhjxim7fnfip

    Invitations (Styles, Return Address Stamps, Wax Seals, Who to Invite): https://pin.it/qx3veig5goqrty

    Little Things (First Dance, Nail Art, Earrings, Hangers, Veils, Garters): https://pin.it/75f4y3v22ckiaf

    Bridesmaids (Dresses, Invitations, Footwear, Gifts): https://pin.it/skobk2ecffl5rs



    I did all of my RSVP's through RSVPify and made my own website through Squarespace.

    I might have a problem....
