What do you share on social media?

John Smith, on January 24, 2020 at 9:31 PM Posted in Planning 0 24
Do you post about your wedding planning progress in social media? Or do you keep it all private?

I get excited so I post sometimes (wedding is I. July and I’ve posted twice about it thus far), but I don’t know if that’ll create complications because obviously not everyone on social media will be invited to the wedding.

    I didn't post about my wedding except for the 100 day mark. Granted, I don't really post much in social media as it is.

    I only posted a few times early on in the planning like when we got our engagement photos and again once at New Years on Instagram, but there’s a few people on fb who assume they’re invited and they’re not so I’m not posting about sending out invitations or anything like that. I will post about my bridal shower but that’s about it until the actual wedding happens

    Not at all. It’s nothing I would share with the masses. If you’re in our inner circle then you’re invited and you’ll know about the wedding. Otherwise, nope!

    We posted that we were engaged and that was it. We were not about opening that can of worms.

    We got engaged just before Christmas and we haven’t even made an official social media announcement about our engagement yet. We figured we’d take this time to personally let our closest friends and family know and then make an “official” post with our engagement photos after our photo shoot in March. But I’ve been planning behind the scenes.

    I have shared a few details about my wedding planning process and I do see why people choose to be private since many people assume they are invited.


    But I’m also not going to let that stop me from sharing things I would like to share such as my engagement photos and the I said yes to dress photo.
    At the end of the day you only plan a wedding once so enjoy it if you want to share something go ahead, don’t worry about others.

    We haven’t shared anything really. On a few posts I have done a hast tag saying #lastbirthdayasamiss or #9monthstilido


    I also posted one engagement photo.
    We are very private.

    We shared when we got engaged, engagement photos, photos from my bridal shower, and count downs until the day.

    I am an oversharer on social media.
    That being said, I keep my wedding plans on the DL. I waited 3 weeks to post our engagement. And I've posted 3 engagement photos. And a photo with my mom when we picked out my dress. That's it.

    A friend's sister posted EVERY EXCRUCIATING DETAIL about her wedding and asked for opinions and all that. It was awful. I didnt even need to look at the wedding photos after she got married because she planned out every dang detail on facebook.
    I want my wedding to be a surprise.

    I shared a picture when we got engaged. I chose to not post anything else. We are having an intimate wedding and I felt it was rude to blast it over social media and then invite....none of them. Lol

    I wish i can share but since my wedding is very small, only family, i don't want people to ask. I don't even let people know the date. I tell them we haven't picked a date. His family and mine are alike. We don't share cause we know we won't be able to invite anyone. I did share when he proposed and our engagement pictures but that's it. This way people don't ask where is their invites.

    Just some Snapchat bc i have very few followers. Other sites nope bc some family I don't want to know anything as they won't be included. I will post pics after my ceremony. Plus we have not officially announced to everyone.

    I posted that we got engaged, I posted a few engagement pics, and then I didn’t post again until after the wedding.

    Maybe I'm the weird one here, but I've posted periodically. I still share photos of our vacation where we got engaged so I typically mention it, I also sometimes say "future Mr Mrs" in a photo of us. Sometimes in Instagram stories I make some joke about the planning. It's nothing very specific or serious of course, I don't want to bore anyone. But I like to laugh and make people laugh so it's usually something like that.

    I've kept everything private and haven't regretted the decision one bit. For those who are invited, I want it to be a surprise for them. I don't want them to walk into the wedding and reception knowing everything that will be taking place; i.e the hot chocolate bar or dessert buffet. The only people that know details about the wedding besides our families are the members of our bridal party that aren't family.


    One of my friends posted just about her entire planning process on Facebook and she got a lot of input from her Facebook friends that upset her. She also had people who were not invited asking where their invitations were after she posted invites were sent out and they hadn't received one. In the end, she regretted her decision of posting things of social media and warned me about doing it when my FH and I started planning. My FH and I are private people anyway and hardly ever log onto our social media pages so it wasn't hard for us to keep things quite.
