I just got my perfect, dream wedding dress!!
The shop I went to was adorable and the consultant took some really cute photos of me with the “yes!” Sign along with my crew (everyone except my MOH who couldn’t make it). I hardly ever get cute photos like this and I’m so excited and want to share it on Facebook (of course not actual pics of the dress haha).The tricky thing is that we’re only inviting about 90 guests, and a big chunk is family (so only about 15 friends each). I already worry about cousins and some college friends assuming they’re invited and then being disappointed.
I know this dilemma isn’t new…but it’s also annoying because I want to share my excitement about my dress! I haven’t posted anything about the wedding (other than announcing the engagement) for this reason, but where is the line of what’s ok to post and what’s not?

I think posting that you said yes to the dress is OK. I would avoid posting about your specific wedding date and time, venue, and any details that might come across as an open invitation.

I agree with Lisa. I don't think it's wrong to post your "said yes to the dress" pic. I don't think it will prompt anyone to assume they're invited. If anyone asks about being invited (which I don't think they would until closer to the day, if at all) you can just say you're keeping it small, mostly just family, whatever

Totally fine to post it If they make the assumption they're invited, that's a "them" issue.

Agreed with everyone else who replied!
If you're still really worried about it, on Instagram or Twitter you can make "close friends" list and just post it to that? I tailored my Close Friends list on Instagram to people who were only invited to the wedding and hav e posted wedding-related things to Close Friends stories only.

I can't agree that it's a good idea or in good taste. This isn't an episode of reality TV. Etiquette would say it's not polite to make reference to plans, purchases etc. associated with an event you are hosting when the people who you are talking to are not invited. Not everything is meant for publication.
People may not assume anything, but that doesn't mean it's not a faux pas. If you really want to share the photos, I would do so more selectively.
