Sharing on Social Media?

We announced our engagement on social media but have kept the wedding plans posts to a bare minimum. Even if we do post anything about our plans, no specific details are given.

I wouldn't. And actually, I have not posted anything wedding related on social media. I'm definitely more of a private person though.

I would refrain from sharing the details on social media. As you already said, not everyone is invited so they don't need to know this information. It not only could hurt their feelings, but you don't know who all is seeing this information. Do you want the general public to know your every detail?

No, that wouldn't be the best move. Any wedding planning decisions are best to stay off of social media.

Share with your bridesmaids or family, or here on WeddingWire. That's a more appropriate way to channel your excitement.

Tell your family and friends but keep the details off social media. I honestly haven’t seen anyone post about finding a venue or which venue they chose on social media. A lot of people post pictures with a sign that says “I said yes to the dress” (myself included) after finding their wedding gown. Besides that, no details about vendors used until perhaps after the wedding if you want to thank them and help promote their business. I think most people would be really annoyed to see a post every time you make progress in planning your wedding.

I would keep that kind of stuff on Wedding Wire or Facebook wedding planning groups. Or tell just close friends and family.

We announced on fb when we got engaged... but since then the only thing I’ve posted is something along the lines of “got my dress and booked our DJ!” On twitter. I would keep the deets to a minimum. It’s kind of like talking about your wedding with people who aren’t invited.

When I was all excited about the venue we booked, I posted pictures we took with no written status. So the pictures had meaning to us, but not to any of our “friends” on social media.

So many posters here have stories of people inviting themselves to their weddings. One way to nip that in the bud is to keep the details off of social media.

No, that's tacky

I haven't done any sharing in social media about where my wedding is going to be. I thought about liking my venue on Facebook, but, I've stopped myself. Just don't want to hurt anyone's feeling that I didn't invite. Something are good to keep to yourself. It's hard when your excited about it.

Don't post anything on social media. You will FLOODED with people assuming they are invited. We changed our statuses to "engaged" but that was it - no photos. (We had no engagement pics so that was easy.) We shared a few pics the next day and I changed my name - that sent the message!

I’ve kept posting anything wedding related on social media to a minimum. My first time I posted about shopping for gowns and a friend on FB commented “When’s your wedding, would love to be there!” I have no intention of inviting her, unfortunately, since her husband and I no longer get along (and I only knew her through her husband).

Agree with others- don't post anything on social media. Keeping the details to yourself will help you have a smoother day and you won't find random people showing up because they assumed you were gonna invite them or something. Also, it's just awkward for the people you're FB friends with but aren't inviting to the wedding.

I posted when we got engaged. Then after the wedding I posted about the wedding. Nothing else because I was having only family and didn't want to deal with people asking if they were invited. I was had enough with my friends at work because they knew.

We only announced our engagement, nothing else.

I barely announced I was engaged...I will probably post a wedding photo but that’s about it!

No. I announced two things, our engagement and when I found the dress. That’s it. i suggest keeping it to a minimum. I had people asking for invites all the time

Sure, it's exciting, but it also raises the expectations of people who think they'll be invited to your wedding. I already know there will be some people that are thinking they'll be on our guest list, when, unfortunately we don't feel as close to them and are trying to keep our numbers down. To put that information on social media almost feels like rubbing the information in their face, even though of course that isn't the intent. Just gotta take a step back and think of why you're making a post to begin with.
