  Why are you all encouraging OP to RSVP with fake names? Remember the guestbook situation several days ago? I think I remember many of you upset with that. How is this any different? Pretty damn hypocritical.

  This was WAY Before that. I obviously only replied a few silly things, which is childish of me and I know that now. However, RSVPing fake names to someone that is private and easily deleted is on a whole 'nother level than publicly writing mean things in someone's guest book.

  I know this was way before. But posters encourage people to do this crap quite a bit. No, you weren't writing mean things on their guestbook. You're just messing with their RSVPs. Nothing major or anything. I still think it's hypocritical for people to get upset over the guestbook thing when they encourage people to send fake RSVPs to a wedding they may or may not even be invited to just because the site is public.

  We're each making one of those list things on Facebook of just people invited to the wedding, so anytime we want to post something about the wedding, we make sure to change it so only "Wedding Invites" can see. That might be a better option for you @wiggsaj

  
  

  I'm an admitted social media junkie with no plans to kick the habit. So I knew from the start I'd want to post all kinds of crap about my wedding on Facebook. But my  Facebook friends include a lot of people I wouldn't ever want at my wedding (a lot of them are clients). So the list plan was a perfect. I made FI do it too though she's less of a junkie then I am. It also makes my grandma who lives out state happy because she can see our plans as we go without having to bug me everyday for how our plans are going (though she still texts me to find out everyday). Grandma loves Facebook.

  It's just basic politeness you learn in grade school. I was taught not to talk about birthday parties and stuff that other kids weren't invited to. It applies to weddings. It applies to everything. 

  
  

  I can't imagine assuming anyone on FB cares about my wedding except maybe the occasional grandma or mom.

  I had a casual friend who posted some updates (countdown) and pictures on her FB.  I wasn't invited to the wedding, and I wasn't hurt.   I actually enjoyed seeing the pictures and getting the update.  I also knew it wasn't a huge blowout and wouldn't have expected an invitation.  I don't think I'd put the RSVP site on FB though.. that's just asking for trouble...   

  
  

  I won't put the date out there but an update now and then plugging my photographer and my DJ have been there.  They are business contacts that gave me an awesome deal so I want to help them out as much as possible.
