I would like some advice on social networking etiquette. Now that my partner and I are engaged, I'm getting friend requests from his extended family. I am already "friends" with a few of his closer relatives that I know very well, but I'm starting to get requests from extended family that I don't know well. What is the polite thing to do? I'd rather not accept requests from people that I'm not and never was friends with. But will I appear rude if I don't accept? Is there a way to limit what they see without having to customize each post?
I'm also not really posting about my wedding plans since we intend to have a very small wedding, which many of the extended families will not be invited to. So I am very private about wedding details, not wanting to hurt peoples' feelings. Should I create a separate wedding website to keep people informed about our wedding plans, and direct his extended family to that site instead?
Thanks for your help,
Robin
