Posting Website to Facebook?

Another vote against sharing your website.

You realize that your venue and time are on there, right? Anyone who sees the website could crash your wedding, and/or know the perfect time to break into your home because no one will be there.

No, do not post it to facebook. Save yourself the drama of upsetting everyone that wasn't invited seeing it and asking for an invite or showing up.

I agree with everyone else, I'm in the "avoid posting wedding stuff on social media" camp. However, just a general note which might come in handy for some other reason, there IS a way to post things on facebook and have only certain people be able to see it rather than your entire friends list. On the left hand side of the website, under the "Friends" category, click "more" and it brings you to a page where you have the option to create a list. You can name this list (for example I have one called "ECE Friends") and add whoever you like to it. Then when you go to post something (whether it be a link, photos, videos, a status update, etc.) before hitting the post button you can change your privacy settings for that post by clicking "more options" in the drop down menu and you can choose the list that you previously created.

So if you do this for anything wedding related then you would just create a list made up of only people that are invited to your wedding. I'm sure some would argue that others that are not invited could still end up seeing the wedding related info that you post in this way if the invited folks decide to share that information (like sending someone the wedding website link), but this could still happen regardless of whether it was posted on social media or not.

The problem with only sharing that information with only a certain group of people on Facebook though, is that once it's shared, anyone of those friends have the ability to share it with their entire friends list. It's best not to share it on Facebook at all.

You could do it with Facebook privacy settings set only to those invited to the wedding (like you can create subgroups now of friends create one that says wedding guests to it add your wedding guests and then set that post only to be shared with that group...other than if you did that it's not a good idea

@Jacky But that's still true even if you don't post anything on social media. Anyone who receives an invitation is going to have the info about the date, time, location, wedding website, etc. and if they really wanted to, they could still share that information with people who are not invited (whether that be in person, or via text, email, facebook, etc.) I suppose that posting things on Facebook just makes it easier for other people to share since it's only a simple click of a button.

We had a friend who posted her website earlier this month (they aren't getting married until next Aug) and asked people who wanted an invite to go ahead and RSVP. They had people they had never actually met or people they hadn't talked to in years RSVP. So now they either have to send invites to the randoms or be rude...

You might start getting random people asking to go to your wedding or trying to RSVP if you post your website on social media. I think it's a bad idea, especially if the website has the location information of your ceremony and reception.

As long as EVERYONE on your FB friend's list is invited with 1 AND you don't mind people crashing your wedding. I know at my venue, if they have to set up an extra table, it's a $100 charge and $100 PP(the regular price for food) regardless of if the extra table is completely filled or not. This easily a $900 fee. Guess you must be rich!

No no no no no

Nope. DO NOT. Unless you're inviting everyone on your friends list...? Also, I'm going to be honest, I feel like people who post a lot about their wedding on social media are asking for trouble. Someone is going to try to invite themselves or be mad that you didn't invite them, and the people you do invite are going to be burnt out about hearing about your wedding by the time it actually gets here.

As many people on here will say, no one is going to as excited about your wedding as you. You don't need Facebook to "advertise" your event. If they didn't notice the website on the Save the Date or the invitation, they probably wouldn't be able to find your venue either.

Sorry to be harsh, but no.

I didn't. But I always love creeping on Facebook friends websites even when I know I'm not going to be invited. I think people know they will/ won't be getting an invite so I don't think it's that bad to post it.

Do you want everyone having your ceremony and reception times and location?! I wouldn't!

No. Just no.

Nah ours will go on our STD but that's it.

Early in the planning stages i made a Facebook privacy setting that was only people invited to the wedding. That way I could post stuff without uninvited guests seeing. Worked out great for me.

Not interested in putting that much personal information out there for anyone to read. My friends list is small, but still plenty of people/acquaintances who don't need to know our personal details!

It's not generally the greatest idea, as people have mentioned. Sure there are ways around it; such as filtering to a specific group (which usually works). But let's just say for the sake of posterity, it's an ill advised idea for the multitude of reasons you have already received from previous posters.

I will come right out and say that I share and have shared a good portion of wedding related things (the invite style I ordered, engagement pics, etc/small detail stuff). But my friends don't really care (I get a few likes here and there) and most are literally too busy with their own lives to check FB 24/7. Also, I don't tag FH in much given that he has almost 300+ friends to my itty bitty 58.

Nope, nope and more nope. NEVER post anything wedding related on your facebook. All I did was change my facebook status and we had people not invited making comments like, "I better get an invite." It will turn disastrous.

There's no way your whole friend list is invited, so I wouldn't do it.
