Wedding website question

staceytaylor0704

Good morning ladies!!
I have a question/ need opinions.
I made a wedding website when FI and I got engaged, but I haven't really told many people about it- probably about 3, and my aunt somehow found it on her own. My question is, should I post it on facebook? I am really guarded about posting WR stuff on there.. I guess I feel like an AW if I do that, and I know I gag when other girls post incessantly about wedding stuff on fb. I just don't want to be "that girl" lol
So, what would you do?
Thanks

I wouldn't post it on FB. I did put our website on the invitation insert though.

I personally like it when my FB friends post their wedding websites, but I'm nosy like that. I didn't post mine, though, because, well, people are nosy.

What I did was I just posted the link to it in that little box under your profile photo that says "Write something about yourself."  But I didn't advertise that I'd put it in there.  If people want to check it out then they'll notice it and go.

AATB- thats a good idea. That way it doesn't show up in anyone's news feed.

Yup exactly :)  And I didn't even note like "Here's our wedding website!"  Just the link.

Alright, I'm all set. )

If you're like most people on FB, you probably haven't cleaned out your 'friends' list in a while and you may find some people there you'd rather not have knowing the date/time/etc. details of the various pieces of your wedding, so in some cases, better to not post it.

My FI and I registered a domain just for our website, blocked search engines from it and were careful to not get too specific about where things are going to be, that will all be in the invites for those that are actually coming.  There's been stories of crazy people calling and cancelling things once they find a wedding website and figure out all the names, dates and times necessary to pretend to be someone they aren't.  That's just me being paranoid though.

I posted my wedding website as "my website" in my info, and the customized the privacy setting on it so that only the people who I am CERTAIN will be invited can see it.  I haven't told any of them about it, so I'm pretty sure none of them have noticed that it's there.

We are planning to put the wedding website on our STDs, and probably an insert in the invitation as well.

Don't post it on facebook, twitter, or myspace, or any other social networking site. It's highly likely that all of your "friend" are not all invited to your wedding, and reception. 

You will get wedding and reception crashers, because information was known to people that weren't on your guest list.

If you are still okay with inviting all of these people that weren't on your original guest list, think about your venue size, and feeding all of these wedding crashers!

Hmm, this is true.. do you think it matters if all I put is where the wedding is being held? I didn't even put a time on there. I figure the people that need to know that will get an invitation.

I like this idea.  Subtle, and in a way it will show up on friends newsfeed that you changed some of your information, but other than that it is not pushy!

I didn't post it on Facebook....just because people are nosy.
I included it on the STD's and wedding invitations....I didnt really see any need for anyone to be viewing it until people started getting invited/the wedding got closer.....and that way I knew everyone who I wanted to see the website, was given the info
Putting a link in the info box under your profile pic is a good idea too

We both put the link under our profile pics; we both also have pretty tight restrictions on our facebooks

I am not posting it. There are too many fb friends that are not invited- i wouldnt want it to seem like look at my wedding that you aren't attending!

but as a pp said i do like to look at peoples. so i wouldn't judge if you posted yours. unless it was accompanied with an annoying status lol
