When to post engagement photos

Eula, on December 1, 2021 at 5:36 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 11

Hi everyone,

I was wondering when you all posted your engagement photos on Facebook. I have a little less than 7 months till the big day. I'm probably only posting my top favorites, but I wasn't sure when would be the best time to post them. I would like to go about it in a way of sharing the wedding date and website. Or should I leave the website private and only for the invited guests?

    I would only share the website with invited guests. Are you using them for a save the date? I’m not posting ours until after we send them out in the mail.

    My photographer posted a link to our sneak peak on Facebook. I shared the link and made one of the photos my profile picture. I also used 3 (from the preview) on our save the dates. Other than that I didn’t share them. I framed a couple and gave as Christmas gifts (parents & grandparents who like that sort of thing) and then I used them in our guest book. So, guests could look at them that way.
    I would keep the website link only for those invited. When you post them you can still share your date at that time. I would cautiously do this though as it could cause some people to think they’re invited when they are not. Just keep the website Information off.

    I would keep the website limited to only those who are invited. Otherwise, you might run into a scenario where someone assumes they're invited just because they have the link to your wedding website. As for posting engagement photos, you can share those whenever you want, and however many you want! Some people don't post any, others post them all. It's totally up to you, though I would not post your wedding website on social media.

    I posted a few as soon as we got them. Other than that one post I’m trying not to share other wedding info on social media. I don’t really want everyone to know when and where my wedding is. But that’s personal preference

    I posted our Engagement Photos after our Save the Dates were mailed since they were featured on there for guests.

    I would never post my wedding website as I have about 400 facebook friends and maybe 30 of them are actually invited.

    I see! That’s true, I’m definitely not sharing my website then! I forgot how much info can be found in there 😅 specifically location… thank you all for taking the time to answer. ♥️

    I posted my engagement photos as soon as I got them (I only did sneak peaks). My husband and I had a small wedding of 50 people. So, when we posted our engagement photos we strayed away from posting about when we were getting married because not everyone was going to be invited. A lot of people kept asking us, but we just told them we don't know lol.

    When we posted the wedding photos we posted sneak peaks and I captioned it "so something amazing happened yesterday!" And that was it. A lot of my family and friends were happy for us. And a lot of them understood especially with everything with COVID right now.

    I've posted a few of my engagement photos and I'm using one on Save the dates, but otherwise I may just casually post them here and there leading up to the big day. I don't plan on sharing my wedding website on any social media because of my 1000ish facebook friends, I'm maybe inviting 75-100 from my side. I don't want some people to think they're invited when they're not.

    I share every post my photographer makes with our photos because I love them and I love her. On Instagram I posted one to announce our engagement, one of the two of us with our pup for her birthday a few weeks later, and a collection of the black and white ones because I loved them about a month after that.

    On Facebook I made my favorite my profile picture, posted one in a post celebrating our 4th anniversary (and the one year mark to the wedding!!), and that's really been it. I stare at them all the time and I'm still obsessed with them, and I'll probably post one for the 6 month countdown and the 1 month countdown just for funsies! It's not necessarily because I'm worried about people thinking they're invited when they're not and more because a lot of them are of us kissing after he proposed 😂

    I think sharing a photo together with the wedding date is a great idea.
