Posting wedding plannnig highlights on Facebook

I've never had a problem with people using their social media accounts as they wish...

HOWEVER...

A girl I know from high school got engaged about a month ago and this week she posted the link to her registry "just in case anyone feels like being nice!!"

That was tacky as hell and I felt embarrassed for her. If only because she's going to have to change soooo many things out of her registry next year when they're all discontinued/out of stock

I don't post too much about the wedding on Facebook, but the things I have posted about haven't caused any issues. All of my posts consist of a picture about something like our first shower, engagement pictures, etc. No one has messaged us to ask if they're invited yet, so hopefully it will stay that way.

I post very little on Facebook, but as I generally post daily on IG, a lot of wedding things end up there.

What I find annoying is when someone gets married and posts a million statuses saying things like "I love being a wife" "I love having a husband" "I love cooking for my husband and being a housewife" "I'm so glad I can call him my husband now" I legit had a friend post about 6 of those a day for the past two weeks. Like we get it you're married we are all happy for you but stop clogging up our news feeds to tell us you love being a wife.

I think certain things are ok, but there's a limit. I posted when we got engaged of course but I never really got around to a ring pic until I was posting a cute manicure later that happened to have my ring in the photo. Then I posted our engagement pics. I posted when we hit 100 days to go because I got super excited. My mom posted about going wedding dress shopping in a long post about all the fun holiday things we were doing mid-December (I think people tend to understand if it's a friend/family member posting because they are happy for you about something but you still have to make sure they don't give out details you don't want known). I then posted a few pics from my bridal shower and will post bachelorette pics when it happens (it won't be a wild and crazy night or anything, we are going to dinner and then light bar hopping) and wedding pics of course. I personally don't see anything wrong with documenting the events as they happen.

I think it's a balance between the fact that social media really is there to share your life and the fact that you don't want to upset those that aren't coming. For me I'm having such a crazy tiny wedding (35 people invited) that I think more people understand not being invited then if I were having a larger wedding. They know it's only our immediate family and (literally) 3 friends.

I posted too many wedding details at first and COMPLETELY regretted it! My advice is to keep it to a minimum.
