wedding page or group on facebook a good idea?

Lucinda Cefalo Gabriel ( Mrz. Monkey ), on May 26, 2011 at 3:32 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 12

Hi Ladies,

Everyone that im going to ask to be in my bridal party is always on FB all the time! I thought it might be a good way to keep all of my girls informed as of events & more. I was thinking about doing a group & setting it to secrcet. But do u think i should also do a wedding page too for those of my friends that are not going to be able go come that are up north & out of state to know thats going on with my wedding??? Is this a good or bad idea???

TIA Ladies

    You can do a wedding website on here that is very user friendly. Facebook doesnt seem like place for it.

    I think the BM page is a great idea- but i wouldn't do the wedding page on facebook. how many friends do you have that aren't getting invited to the wedding? do you really want them hurt because you keep talking about the fantastic plans you have? at least if it's on a different web site people are less likely to hear about it unless you specifically tell them.

    I would just do a group ...that's what I did ... your wedding website can serve as your "wedding page" if you really want people to know about your wedding ...

    I have one and it is great. All of my girls live in different cities so it's easy to keep in contact. I also love how we can share photos. We have shared hair ideas, decoration ideas, dress ideas, etc. I love mine and my girls check it all the time. Just make sure it's private.

    @ Shellie - i have like about 6 that live out of state . & some ppl from church that are not going to be able to come cause of the capacity that the venue can hold.

    I think that if you made a page with any wedding ifo on it. Only invited guests and the bridal party should see it, or else you're going to get randoms on it thinking they were invited.

    I'm using my wedding website for that but I sent them private messages on facebook and text messages but I wouldn't do FB especially since more than half my friends' list arent invited.

    I know some people only have close friends and family members on FB, if all of them are invited then go for it, if not bad idea...

    I think the facebook page for your bridal party is a good idea, but not a website there.

    Have you checked out WW wedding sites? They are free, easy to use and very customizable. You can put anything you want on it, have different pages, etc.

    I have one right now for all guests as I will be asking them to RSVP for it. These are the pages I have on mine

    Welcome Page

    "Our Story"

    Wedding Party (this has their picture,names, the role they are & who they are to us)

    Ceremony & Reception page

    FAQ page - common questions that get asked go here

    RSVP page --- love WW rsvp online tool

    Reception Music Request page

    Registry page -- where the place we register at will be listed with direct links to ours

    Guestbook

    Contact Us Link

    Honeymoon Info

    And I could still add more if I want or need to! I think you should check it out. You can even get it password protected so not just anyone can view it since it does contain information and such.

    @ Kristina - i was just thinking for the FB group is just to be a place for the wedding party or bridal party to keep up on every event that will take place within the next yr. Also i already have a WW site on here.

    We have a FB group for my BMs and one for FHs GM. The groups are set to private so only members can see posts. They have been really helpful in getting input on attire and scheduling times to go try on dresses, and otherwise just keeping everyone informed. I think it's also helped our WP to connect with one another, as not everyone knew each other ahead of time.
