Social media question: Did you post about your wedding close to the day?

I didn't post much about the wedding at all. When I did, it was a couple of snaps and Instagram posts, because my followers there are mostly friends who would be invited or understand why they weren't (not family who might be hurt if they weren't invited). The day before the wedding I also shared a little, because by that point, the ship has sailed.

I posted when he engaged, our engagement pics, and then I have the occasional "so many months until our wedding" posts, when I remember on that day I think I have done two. People posted pictures of my invitations when they got them, because the looked like real passports (I posted a thread about them a while ago), so everyone knows what they look like, but I don't really post any other details. I have had no one ask about being invited, so no awkwardness. I agree with people that is depends on how much you usually post. Most of my posts are FH and I at an event or pictures of our dogs and I maybe post once a week-- if that. As long as it is not every little detail multiple times a day I don't think people really notice or care.

I posted when we booked our venue. I posted a picture of us on our way to the caterer tasting, I mentioned my dress was finished... just little things here and there. People don't really care say much, just "when's the big day?!" We're getting married this week, and I probably won't post anything until I get a teaser from the photographer.

ETA: I don't have a super insane amount of friends on FB, and I have a small social circle. I see people mention their nuptials over the course of their engagement, and am always pleasantly surprised when they eventually post their wedding photo - I comment how happy I am for them (even if we aren't close friends) and love looking at their photos. I don't really think people are keeping tabs on your wedding like you might think they are. I know I couldn't care less about other people's weddings, but to reiterate, I am totally psyched to see their wedding photos when it does finally happen!

Hell no.

Other than I did post something that said ABORT ABORT- which freaked my photographer out.

Maybe some of it's an age thing, it seems younger people tend to post more. I'm young, but so far I've only posted our engagement and e-pics on Facebook, and some dress shopping pictures on Twitter. That's about all I plan to post until the wedding, except if people tag me in things. However, that's pretty limited compared to some friends my same age who are getting married who post pretty constantly. One woman posts almost constant countdowns, and another has a habit of sharing each DIY thing.

I personally think limited posts are fine, but if you're posting countdowns to your e-pics (which I have actually seen), that shit's obnoxious. People will understand that you're sharing your excitement about a very exciting event to an extent, but there does come a point where it's too much.

We posted on FB/IG when we got engaged (after we had told everyone who needed to know) and I posted on IG when I went dress shopping. I've posted a couple other pictures on IG like the cupcakes when we went cake tasting and my shoes. Other than that, I haven't posted anything, mainly because it's such a small wedding.

I have a friend from college that is getting married a month after us and she posts EVERY SINGLE DAY in some capacity about their wedding. It's obnoxious. I've almost unfollowed her several times, but my morbid curiosity keeps me hooked.

I don't see a problem posting about it. Some people may not like it. But how is that different from anything else you post? Politics, pictures, memes, etc. I mean, it's YOUR FB page. If you want to share your happiness, go for it. People can choose to ignore it if they want. And as long as it's not in-your-face excessive, I think people will ultimately be happy for you.

I posted at the six months mark on FB and I'll probably post when there is a month left. I am excited, FH is excited. I don't really care for what others think, lol. It's my social media account and I can use it share exciting news

I'm not posting anything, only post I did was when we got engaged. The next will be when I update it to Married lol

I tend to roll my eyes when I see someone post so much about their wedding. Don't get me wrong, I'm pumped and want to tell everyone about everything but realize some people just don't care. I also have a lot of people on my dads side of the family on Facebook and I'm not inviting some of them. So I'm trying to watch what I say so I don't have to answer the "where's my invite?"

I don't post anything ever, even non wedding things. I think I posted one picture on instagram of our countdown when it hit a year. FH likes to post things occasionally and he'll tag me but that's it. The only thing we've done wedding related on facebook was make a private event to collect addresses for save the dates so I can order soon.

I changed my status to engaged and that was it. I may post engagement photos before it is all said and done.

I would recommend you limit to highlights like when your wedding is a week or day away. As long as you're not posting every day or multiple times a day up to the wedding, I don't think it's excessive. I don't post on FB a lot but I posted when we got engaged, our engagement photos with our photographer, and when we were a year out. We're about 7 months away now and I probably won't post again til the month of or week of.

I've been keeping as much as I can a surprise for our guests and there's definitely quite a few people we weren't able to invite, but would love to on our friends lists. I've tried to avoid people asking questions about the date or anything. I think you should do what feels right, don't be afraid to share your excitement! Just try not to overload the feed. I always love seeing highlights for people I was friends with in high school or college of when they get engaged or their wedding photos and it never upsets me that I wasn't invited, I still like sharing in their happiness from afar.

I didn't at all. My cousin posted one or two photos after we got married. We didn't post any information on Facebook but I posted a ring shot and one or two engagement photos on Instagram. Other than that, we kept it quiet. I get irritated when people post a ton of information about their weddings (or children) on social media. I've defriended people for posting an obnoxious amount of photos or status updates about a wedding, a pregnancy, being married, etc.

I tried not to post too much! I did like you- posted that we got engaged, and when I got my dress. I posted pics of things like our e-pics, with my BMs when we went shopping for my dress, my bridal shower, etc. I posted a few "countdown" type posts like at 6 months, 1 month.

I always find it strange when people post a lot about their wedding. Getting married isn't an accomplishment or some type of award. It doesn't require any skill.

I think the occasional "Can't wait to Marry this Man(or woman)" as well as pictures after the fact are fine.

I updated my status to engaged and most of FB didn't know I was dating my husband. Then when I updated it to married most people had no idea we had already had our wedding and gone on our honeymoon. My family and close friends knew, and that was enough for me.

Gloat to us! We LOVE wedding updates and want every detail.

I'm actually pretty proud of how little I've posted about my wedding...considering I work in marketing/social media for a living so I'm pretty much glued to it. I've mostly refrained so that things are a surprise for my guests, but also so I don't flaunt it to those who aren't invited.

I did the standard photo announcement that we were engaged (a nice pic of us on our hike...not centered on the ring). I called FH my "soon-to-be husband" when wishing him a happy birthday. I'll probably post a couple engagement photos next month after our shoot, and then maybe a few things the week/day of, but that's it.

I did end up mentioning my wedding in a post mourning the recent passing of my grandmother. I just said something about how grateful I was to have visited her a couple weeks ago and that I got to show her a picture of me in my wedding dress. She was so happy to see that picture, she started getting teary. It wast just a special moment I wanted to share.

Nobody ever asks if they're getting an invite though. I think most have a pretty good idea on whether or not they are invited.

Well, and 11 days out, I think people know whether they're invited to our wedding or not.

@#vine, thanks for the invite! I will share more with you guys! Sometimes I just don't know if my update fits under a thread, or whether it's appropriate to start a new thread that says, "Eeeeee, it's wedding week!!" :-)

I didn't post a thing and we are still happily married.

I thought I was the only one who doesn't put much of their relationship online (ig only for me). I post occasional pix of us two if we went to a concert or something, most of my pix are of food or alcoholic beverages. I just rather steer away from the unnecessary drama that social media brings ( had bad experiences w/ my sons dad). So i put dumb stuff like my food, sometimes of my son too, but like somebody else said, the people who need to know we are engaged, know.

I have one friend who is overly annoying on her ig: " Can't wait to be the next Mrs. XX" "I just got my ring cleaned" " FH just bought me a Louis V"... SOOO annoying!! I def don't wanna be that girl, so I haven't posted anything wedding related.
