QOTD 5/21

minionlover · May 2012

Do you or FI post any wedding related topics on social network sites?

BrittneyRN · May 2012

FI doesn't have Facebook or anything. I posted a countdown at 1 year and at 6 months, but other than that, I don't mention my wedding on there because I think it's rude to those not invited. I also think it gets annoying. I have a friend who is always posting about her wedding- no one cares that you finalized your music list with your DJ or picked out your flowers.

BMBrinson · May 2012

I don't think my FI knows enough about whats going on planning wise...sometimes he remembers how many days left if I tell him lol. I'm the same as PP, I try to keep it off Facebook, I had a couple of people ask where their save the date was...but every now and then I get excited and post something!

snuff9861 · May 2012

I generally only post once a month about the wedding, and that's usually for the countdown. Sometimes when the bigger stuff was going on, ie buying my dress or getting our rings I would post, but now that it's getting closer I try to keep it off facebook. As PP said, I don't want those that aren't invited to feel bad.

music11 · May 2012

I think I posted when I chose my dress, and we announced when we were engaged, but otherwise, not much. I didn't think it would be appropriate

This exactly. I think the only thing I've posted was my year countdown and FI doesn't have facebook.

shoebie · May 2012

Yes all the time ! Most of my facebook is invited lol and those that are not it really doesent bother me its my facebook and im overly excited about our wedding

mana8503 · May 2012

I think I posted I was finally wedding dress shopping for me... FI wrote a lovey status to me and I said something like 145 days... that's about it.

CFM102012 · May 2012

FI doesn't do facebook (and neither of us do Twitter). I only ever post milestones (months etc) or if I need help with something. I found my photographer because I asked for recommendations on FB and a girl I used to work with was like "Hey I do wedding photography" We had a brief convo on FB about it and set up a real meeting. At the end of the meeting my parents I and decided to book her. Yesterday I was asking for help in getting a slice off of a log that I can shellac and use for a cake plate. My cousin saw it and thinks that her family could help get one for me

pockysquirrel · May 2012

I steer clear of posting details, since like PP said it's rude to those on my friendslist who I'm not inviting. Very rarely I may do a 'doing wedding stuff today' post if I'm excited about it, and I did share the teaser pic from our engagement shoot with everyone when our photographer posted it on his blog. Interestingly enough, FI tends to post more about the wedding than I do. He made a big deal of it when we bought our rings because that's when things "got real", LOL.

CFM102012 · May 2012

Oh Cathy, I don't know if you saw in Friday's QOTD. I sent you a PM with QOTD suggestions!

achiduck · May 2012

FI is not very active on FB, but I am. I am conscientious that the vast majority of people on my friends list are not invited so I limit the amount of WR stuff I post.

LDubHawksFan · May 2012

FI doesn't have FB. I don't do many updates because our guest list is small. I changed my status and I think mentioned when I found my dress. I've also posted a few random things about decor, but nothing illuding to our date. As it gets closer I'm sure I will, but it won't be anything too crazy.

tamrahelmer · May 2012

Fi hates facebook, so he never posts anything. lol I only post some things like when we got engaged obviously, and then when I bought the dress/when it came in. I don't plan on posting too much on facebook because I know how much people would be annoyed by it.

minionlover · May 2012

Neither of us have FB so we obviously don't post anything. If I did though, I wouldn't post much about the wedding.

Thanks!! I added them to the list. :)

ktelizabeth86 · May 2012

FI doesn't really, because he doesn't get on FB much. I do occassionally. I don't think I post about it enough that it would be considered annoying . . . I only do it when I'm excited about something, something big happens or maybe as a countdown. Oh, and I posted our engagement photos. I will post wedding photos as well.

I don't think it's rude to post about your wedding just because everyone on your FB isn't invited. I think you can be happy for people that are getting married without feeling like they owe you an invitation. I love seeing other couples wedding photos, etc. and feel excited for them. So I don't restrict myself from posting . . . that's just me though.

ivedonethisb4 · May 2012

Well I do post on FB about the wedding. No details really just stuff like last night "getting ready for dinner then headed to B____ Vista to see about picking up some wedding stuff from Cindy" yes I know no one cares but I rarely post on FB at all and when I do its a what am I doing now post. Like the other day headed to A_____ to pick up my rings yay! I don't post for others I post for me. I never communicate on FB with anyone but family and really close friends. I may randomly give advice if someones asking about something I know about...but that's it. 95 of my FB is not invited.

mrshall1027 · May 2012

Every once in a while I'll post about the wedding on FB. Mainly countdown, but I'm not sure if I'll do that again. When I posted about the 6 month mark, I got one comment from someone I hadn't seen since high school saying they would be happy to come if they were invited. I didn't even know how to respond to that.

Fi posts about the wedding mainly when we go somewhere, like when we went for our tasting or when we met with the lighting company.

I think I'll post a countdown at 1 month and 1 week, but not too much more than that. Definitely posting pictures.

Simply_Caitlin · May 2012

Fiance is completely anti facebook. The only time I've posted was the engagement, asking for help finding a photographer and on our anniversary I think I may have written how long til the wedding but I don't remember for sure.

Other than that, nada! I even deleted a comment my FMIL wrote stating the date for everyone to see.

aimee58 · May 2012

We do occassionally. I posted when I was engaged, every 3 months I post a "one year from today is the wedding" stuff, and I think I posted when I ordered my dress. Nothing too in detail though and not too often.

CFM102012 · May 2012

I had a FB friend who got married recently. Every step of the way she posted what she was doing for the wedding. When her RSVP deadline came she posted on FB that it was the last day to RSVP. She also posted the last day to reserve a room at the hotel. I didn't care not getting invited. We're not that close and I understand not getting to invite everyone. But her constant posting about it was annoying (she ate lived and breathed wedding apparently) and kinda rubbed in my (and others') face that we weren't invited. On the RSVP deadline post a couple people even said something about "I'd love to come but I wasn't invited". I don't think she got the hint.

brainybrunette · May 2012

I rarely post things about the wedding on Facebook. I'll post like big milestones, like the 1 year and 6 month countdown, our e-pics, and things like that. If I'm doing wedding things on the weekend I might post that I'm doing some wedding stuff, but nothing too specific. I didn't announce when STDs went out or when invites will. I don't think any of my FB friends that aren't getting invited will expect an invite, but still I try not to advertise it on there.

mpjf1001 · May 2012

FI doesnt have a FB and I post wedding stuff sporadically.
The only things i've posted were: when i changed my status to engaged, a couple of e-pics, that i was dress shopping and ring shopping...and a countdown every month!

fishinflagrl · May 2012

I post the countdowns or if I have questions about a good DJ or need another recommendation. Most of the people on FB are invited...others like co-workers I would hope they understand we arent close enough to the point where they are invited. But they all always ask about the wedding so I post things. They are all like "moms" to me.

PetalPockets2012 · May 2012

I posted when we got engaged and when we set a date. That's it so far. I try not to because I don't want to be rude or annoying.

pengy16 · May 2012

I use pinterest to post ideas which is linked to my facebook account but actual wedding details arent on social networking sites.
We are trying to keep things off facebook because we arent inviting my dad's side of the family and they are on facebook and would be upset. Plus FI has a huge family and they are on facebook and we dont want them to be upset because they arent invited.
