Posting Website on Facebook

Catie, on February 29, 2016 at 10:50 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 18

Does anyone else find it interesting when people post their wedding website on Facebook or somewhere similar to this? I have seen a few people do this. I find it odd. What message are you sending? Are you trying to get every one of your Facebook friends to look at it. I would assume many if not most of them are not invited to the wedding. Anyway I am just rambling on at this point but it has been something I have continually seen and find it very odd.

    Yeah, it's pretty rude to do that. Generally not recommended :-)

    Hate when people do this. But also love it because I stalk the heck out of it.

    I love when people post their website so I can see and be nosey but I wouldn't do it. I really don't want people knowing details about my wedding lol.

    It's definitely odd to do. I wouldn't want people who aren't invited to know all of the details of my wedding. Although, I do agree that I like to stalk others when they post haha

    Yep, it is considered rude because likely not all of your FB friends will be invited to the wedding itself. I haven't seen anyone on my list post anything, but most of my people are already married. I would absolutely stalk it though..

    I'd love to hear someone explain why they choose too. I'm curious.

    I can't think of a benefit to doing so.

    I've seen tons of people do it! And I did it. Maybe it was me just being thisclose to losing my mind after telling people 10,000 times to look at it before asking me a million questions that it answered during a time that I was so busy with work, I could barely function. We had a destination-ish wedding, so there were a lot of details to hash out. It helped. No regrets.

    HA! I do the same thing with snooping on other people's wedding websites! (That's why I excluded mine from search engines, haha.)

    My cousin did this... She had an "open" ceremony and "invitation only" reception. We didn't receive an invite, which is fine, but it was like rubbing salt in a wound (I thought we were pretty close until then) when she posted the website. I can't attend your reception but I can buy you a gift right? I sent her a congrats via fb message.

    Nope. Just invites issues.

    I posted mine on Facebook because last year I made it so I was only friends with my family members and close friends. It was just crammed with people from freshman year I didn't even remember. And basically my whole family and close friends are invited.

    I've only ever seen one person do it. I rolled my eyes, but probably wouldn't have thought it was as tacky if I wasn't always on here lol. I didn't even bother to click

    My FH asked me when we could post our website to FB. I said Never. FH used square space and designed our website as a surprise for me. He's super proud of it, so he wanted to share it with people. I explained why he couldn't share it and he wasn't happy about it, but agreed not to post a link on fb.

    I'm purposely not posting anything related to STDs/ Invites on facebook, because everyone I know isn't invited. If I do end up posting anything in the future, I'm going to make a list of people on my friends list who are invited, and post only visible to that group. I also added a password to our wedding website (pretty simple one) so anyone who gets a link can't just go ahead and view our details.

    I wanted to post a status about STDs being sent, because I was so excited but I knew better than to actually do it. We made some extra cuts on the guest list that would be awkward if everyone saw a STD status and didn't get one in the mail within a few weeks...

    EDIT- I have a lot of friends from college that are engaged and are posting details every step of the way. I know I'm not invited cause we don't talk anymore so it's not offensive to me and I get excited for them. but doesn't anyone want a little privacy?!

    I personally don't find it rude if a friend posts her website for a wedding i'm not invited to. If she shared it to my page that would be a different thing but I feel like your page is your page. Personally, I like to look at the websites! lol. I think when people put a lot of time into building their sites especially from scratch they want others to see their work. I put a lot of time into building my website but I'm still unsure about posting it. I don't care if others see my details but I definitely don't want to offend anyone! But this topic makes me wonder is it rude to post anything about your wedding to facebook because it would be rude to all the people not invited. I have seen many friends make a post like 100 days until I marry my love or post a picture meeting with the planner or venue walk through....is all of this rude? just wondering...

    I feel like most people who do this are just excited and don't really think about the repercussions of sharing it with all your FB friends. I freaking love our wedding website and thought about posting it for about a second before realizing how many random people I'm FB friends with. It's simple enough to Google search...why make it even easier for crashers or gossips to access?
