Posting Website to Facebook?

Emily, on September 26, 2016 at 5:15 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 42

What are your thoughts on posting a link to your wedding website on Facebook? I have mixed feelings about this for (hopefully!) obvious reasons. However, I recently saw a friend-of-a-friend post about their's, mainly to show off pictures and their story, as well as to try to get some RSVP-stragglers. I was mainly wanting to post about it to get people excited (maybe?), share the website with those that did not notice the "plug" for the website on our STD, and to maybe get some people to remember to RSVP, either through the website or directly to me.

I'm interested in your opinions and will decide what to do after I hear your great input! Thanks in advance Smiley smile

    The ONLY way this is okay is if your entire friend list is invited to your wedding.

    ETA: If your website is somewhere within your invitiations, then the people who need it, already have it. Otherwise you're just dangling the party they aren't invited to to the rest of your friends list.

    Exactly what @beut said. there was a bride on here not too long ago that did this and had people that weren't on the guest list RSVP.

    Not a good Idea. It is insensitive to people who did not get an invite. As much as id like to show off my wedding website its a no for me!

    Don't post your wedding details on social media.

    Bad idea unless you are inviting every single person that will be able to see the post. If not, you will inevitably get people who you never intended to invite commenting "Oh we can't wait...put us down for 5!" or "Did my invite get lost in the mail?" Then you have to have that awkward conversation letting them know they weren't invited. If you have RSVP stragglers, pick up the phone and call them or text them. In general, it's best to keep ALL wedding talk off of social media.

    Don't post it unless your entire friends list is invited to the wedding.

    Terrible idea. Try not to post too much wedding info on FB, otherwise you risk the unnecessary questions like, "Am I invited?"

    If you share it on social media, everyone will see it, including people who were not invited. It opens up a lot of unnecessary questions such as "where's my invite?" "Can I come?" People who didn't receive an invitation could interpret your sharing your wedding details as their invitation. Non guests could try to RSVP, or just show up, since most wedding websites include all the ceremony and reception times and locations. You could also be perceived as rubbing it in the faces of those who you did not invite by publicizing your event details to them when they were not invited. The safest thing is to keep wedding details off social media.

    If you're trying to get people to RSVP, reach out to those who have not RSVP'ed personally. Call, text, or email them starting the day after your printed deadline for RSVPs.

    Nope, bad idea. You'll get people contacting you assuming they're invited or asking to be.

    No I'm sorry you can't do it because like the ladies already stated unless you invited your whole Fb you cannot do it

    I would also like add, limit ALL your wedding posts. Everytime you book a vendor or finish a project dont make a status. People who are not invited dont need a monthly reminder that you are getting married, plus you are opening the door for people to ask. If you need to share it post it on here!!

    A girl who I use to be pretty close to just got married this weekend and she was posting every single day for 6 months (yes every day), I'm slightly upset that I didnt get invited but I completly understand why I wasnt (small wedding) but it kinda sucked seeing her inspo cake pictures, "I booked a photographer", "I bought my wedding shoes" and so on.

    I have a friend (who was actually a BM in our wedding) post her invites and everything on FB. I understand she was so excited to show the invites off because they're actually cute, but now everyone knows the details of her wedding, including her honeyfund.

    Sigh.

    Definitely don't do this. Unless every single person on your facebook friends list is invited to your wedding .

    You can as long as you dont list the place, time, and date.. You will get added head count if you do. Besides that just make sure invite only shows up..
