FB wedding statuses...
So today marks 30 days out from our big day, and although I usually do my best to avoid writing FB statuses that are wedding related-I could just not help myself! I definitely should have rethought this a second time. A girl I used to go to Cosmetology school with (and haven't really spoken to since) had to do the whole "I better get an invite!" bit. Well, great. there are only two girls from school I am inviting and they are two of my best friends. Our guest list is closed. We are NOT inviting anyone else. So now, thanks to my moment of weakness, I get to deal with telling her our guest list is full. Anyone else do stupid things out of excitement?

Re: FB wedding statuses...
I would just ignore her comment since it wasn't a question. She'll realize she wasn't invited when she doesn't get an invitation. If you tell her you're at capacity or at budget or something like that, she might try to come up with things like, "I'll pay for my plate," or, "Let me know if you have any room after people decline."
[QUOTE]In Response to FB wedding statuses... : You're a nicer person than I am. Inviting yourself to someone's wedding over facebook is hella rude. I'd ignore them. Why should you have to feel uncomfortable because they have bad manners?

This exactly.
[QUOTE]I'd ignore it. <strong>When my husband and I got our marriage license about a week before we got married, I posted a beaming photo of us holding it on facebook</strong> with the "one more week!" countdown. That was about the only thing I posted in our whole engagement- no bridesmaid dresses or engagement pics or DIY projects; I don't have any problem with anyone who does but in my opinion, it's to each their own, which I think works in this scenario, too.

Glad to know we weren't the only ones who did this when we got our marriage license last week. :)
I think there's nothing wrong with excited posts every once in a while, as long as they're not open-ended or implying that certain people are or aren't invited. "30 days to go!" or "We just got our marriage license!" type of stuff doesn't bother me, as long as it's kept to somewhat of a minimum.
I had a friend get married earlier this summer and post constant annoying facebook statuses such as, "What songs do you HAVE to hear at our wedding? We're meeting with the DJ in a few hours!" and "What kind of candy do you guys want for the candy bar?" One of our mutual friends (who, like me, was not invited) was so tempted to say, "There better be Twizzlers!" just to see if the bride would feel obligated to mention that not everyone was invited. I talked to several people who found this girl's postings to be beyond obnoxious.

Wow your friend sounds very rude. I kept fb wedding posts to a minimum and I think it was for the best.
Garden I love the suggestion of making a facebook list of wedding guests thats such a good idea!
if you do post something, be prepared for all types of comments. Most people are nice and well-mannered, but some are not. When you post things for the world to see, you leave yourself open for all kinds of people to come in.
Just ignore it.
