Posting wedding plannnig highlights on Facebook

The general rule is to keep things off of all social media.

Engagement pictures I think are fine - I posted mine. I also posted a ring/we're engaged picture and obviously wedding pictures.

But if your FH wants you to talk to him before posting things then you absolutely should.

I agree to a point. I absolutely think posts about the wedding should absolutely be limited, but I don't see a problem with posting some of the big things like finding your dress or hitting a big countdown mark (like 1 year to go). Some of my family/friends are pretty excited about our wedding so they are constantly posting on our pages about what we just got done (getting our marriage license, ## of days until the honeymoon/I change my last name, various projects, or even big family gatherings specifically for wedding planning. I just let them do it. They are excited and its their way of sharing with everyone.

I posted engagement photos but I said close to nothing about the wedding. More so because I dreaded random high school friends asking for invites. i need to clean up my friends list.

I posted when we got engaged and pictures from our engagement party. I don't post about the wedding because it just becomes almost like an open invitation. People will start asking questions, wanting to be invited and making comments if they are not invited.

We both post whatever we want. Haven't had any issues yet about anything.

I actually post fairly regularly, about countdown days (I just posted a few mins ago, about it being only 9 days away) and how I feel about it, but I don't generally say much else on my regular page.

I created a FB Event page back in April or so, as a STD type of thing, to include people who are invited to the wedding in some of the updates, and even asking poll questions and posting some informational updates and such.

I also posted the wedding website link (because of transportation info that I want to make sure everyone reads) and reminded people of the RSVP deadline there, so it's has been a nice means of communicating - with those I'm connected to on FB anyway.

Engament pics are pretty common to post and i dont see an issue with that, but anything else specifically wedding related i would keep it off of FB. i have never posted anything wedding related on FB other than a picture of my ring almost 2 years ago, but from what some ladies on here have said when you do post things it leaves it open for people to want to invite themselves.

I posted our engagement pictures and I've posted pictures when we've gone to bridal shows but that's it. I'll probably post when we got the 30 day mark.

E-pics are fine, other planning details are annoying and unnecessary.

Why was your FH upset you posted them?

I think they should be limited. We posted a ring/were engaged picture and our engagement pictures. We will post our wedding pictures. However, I have a "friend" who keeps posting things like mailing save the dates and posted her website (the website is very tacky in my opinion) and people keep saying that their STD got lost in the mail because they never got one...

If you FH wants to consult before you post something, then I absolutely think you should.

I posted a ring picture/engaged picture, our engagement pictures, wedding status updates with big things like saying yes to the dress and booking the venue. I've been keeping the details vague though and the posts are far and few between. I don't want to annoy my Facebook friends with wedding updates! Just because we post a few things about this exciting time shouldn't indicate to people they are invited. I actually enjoy hearing about other people's wedding planning even when I know I won't be invited and just because they post about it on Facebook doesn't make me assume I'm invited.

I am in the majority that believes social media (especially facebook) wedding posts should be limited. In the year and a half of planning (getting close now date twin 10/17/15!!) I think I posted my engagement ring and we are getting married (feeling so loved) post, when I said "yes to the dress" and 1 article about guests and weddings. My friends on the other hand, have forwarded me articles and funny memes about weddings and marriages from time to time. I try not to make a big deal out of them and just click "like" instead of getting into it with them on comments. I just try to be discreet ... because 1st of all, not many people care about our weddings as much as we do and I don't want to be that annoying girl; 2nd I know some girls on there who would be jealous of ANY girl getting married and again ... I just don't want to be that girl ramming it down their face with facebook posts; and 3rd there are FB ppl who aren't invited and I don't want them crashing my wedding. Haha. Seriously though, I won't even post "how many days left" or the countdown. I don't want anyone knowing who isn't invited. WW has been my savior this past year and a half when I just can't contain my excitement over something wedding related.

I think there's a difference between posting engagement photos, announcing engagements, and saying things like "booked our venue!" " found my dress!" vs. "PEOPLE NEED TO RSVP TO OUR WEDDING" "BOOK YOUR HOTELS" etc.

So far all we've done is change our relationship status to "engaged," (didn't even post a ring pic) and I only had 1 or 2 people ask about the date who I am not intending to invite. They will get over it lol. I also plan to post engagement pics, because c'mon, how can you not share beautiful pictures like that? I do not plan on sharing any other details on social media. The next post after e-pics will just be announcing when we get married and sharing some photos, most likely. In the past, I have found it annoying when people post a play by play of every little detail about their wedding.

Yes very limited. And no one need to see the 567 days until I marry my BEST FRIEND. I think I thorw up every time someone mentions marrying their best friend. Ugh.

Also, if your FH doesn't want you to post stuff involving him, you should respect his wishes. My FH works with all guys and he is friends with some of them on FB. One of his coworkers GFs loves to post pics of him sleeping and the guys have printed them out and put them all over the break room. They bust on each other all the time. Not that I post that kinda stuff, but FH doesn't want to be the victim of that at work.

I really tried to keep everything off, but it got super hard at the end. I tried to keep it to a minimum though.

I have posted when we got engaged, and our engagement pics. I also shared the status that my venue posted as a congrats to us on the day we booked. Last week my BFF posted "10 months to go" on 7/21, but she did that as an excuse to use my wedding hashtag because she was dying to. LOL. Other than that I haven't posted too much, and I won't..

My cousin has been posting a play-by-play of her wedding planning- she's getting married this November. This week she's mailing out invitations. Her update made me realize that she didn't ask for my address, so I must not be getting invited! At first I was disappointed. But then, it gave me a little bit of peace about my decision not to invite all my cousins to mine... so now I am actually happy she did that.

We are having a small wedding so trying not to throw it in the faces of those on FB that are not invited. We changed our status to "engaged" when we got engaged. In April or May we posted a picture of our newly purchased wedding rings with simply "9/12/15". Oh I also posted a picture of my daughter (MOH) and I after makeup trials because we looked good! But that's it. Bachelorette party is Saturday so I know we will post some pics of that.

I've chosen to post very little. I posted when we got engaged, and that's it. I will post after the wedding though. I tend to keep business to myself on FB, but I also have chosen to post very little because I want to avoid people asking for invites or information, etc.

We both post whatever we want, we've had a few people ask and we just address it then. It's really not a huge deal.
