Posting Save The Dates to Social Media

Alicia, on June 19, 2019 at 6:36 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 23
Tomorrow my wedding will be exactly a year away. I sent out my STD a few days ago and everyone has been confirming they've received it. I want to post my STD on my social media with a sentimental post, debuting our wedding hashtag and counting down. I'm worried about people asking why they didn't get a STD. Did anyone post theirs? Should I be concerned that'll be too much pressure? Thanks !

    I think if you are comfortable with your decisions (regarding who you invited and who you didn’t invite) I’d post it. People absolutely will ask where’s my STD or may feel some way but for some reason they didn’t make the cut and you have your reasons. I’d definitely omit any information that would reveal where the wedding will take place just in case there are any people who would invite themselves. Weddings apparently bring the crazy out of people lol

    Oh and to answer your other questions I didn’t do STDs so I didn’t post. I think you should decide whether or not you are comfortable with your decisions and if you think it will be too much to answer people if they ask where their STD is. Pressed reply before answering those two questions lol

    I wouldn't but I'm also very private so that's why I wouldn't. I never announced my engagement on social media even though my friends were egging me on to. I think if you're comfortable with everyone seeing it though, then it's ok but there's some things you don't need an audience for, ya know? Just the right audience.

    I think it's fine to post in general terms about your upcoming wedding on social media, the same as you would about any other big thing in your life (if that's your posting style), provided you are ready for receiving any and all unsolicited opinions and questions.

    That said, I wouldn't post your actual save the date, because that could send the wrong message *and* put too many details out there to people who don't need them.

    I wouldn't post to social media for everybody to see. You WILL get people asking why they didn't get a physical copy, and you'll get people who assume their invited. If you really want to post something sentimental, start a FB group chat or private group page where you can invite only the people that are invited to the wedding. That's also a good way for your guests to ask questions, you can link to your website, etc.

    Lol good advice. Don't need any wedding crashers. I'll share here and get it out of my system a bit. Maybe I'll just post the photo we took and not the save the date.

    I wouldn’t but I am very private. I actually won’t be announcing my wedding date or location publicly at all.

    However if you are okay with people potentially asking if they are invited and telling them no, I’d say it is okay to post it. It’s your social media and you should post what you’d like.

    No way. We don’t post anything about our wedding on social media. We have 150 invited guests which is like 10% of our social media friends. I wouldn’t want to deal with that backlash.

    Lol very true! I haven't posted our engagement photos which were used in our STDs maybe I'll just post the photos now that everyone invited has received their STDs.

    Or Maybe as an alternative create a secret group on Facebook with the guests you've invited and if they have a Facebook, you can invite them to that group and if it's "secret" no one can find it unless you invite them to it. You can put any wedding related updates that you'd like to communicate. I did that with my guests, whoever has one, and my family that live out of the country and can't make it so they can see pictures and live video the day of 🙂

    This was going to be the advice I was going to give you.
    You can share this and your hashtag. Too many people might consider this an open save the date. 🤦‍♀️

    I don’t think is a good idea to post it. You can use one of your pictures from the engagement section or even the one you used for the std and the hashtag and the sentimental note but not a physical photo of the std. It would bring questions and create confusion and you want to avoid that.

    I wouldn’t post a save the date on social media unless you’re prepared to answer to everyone who asks why they didn’t receive one.
