    Guests posted pictures of DDs wedding the day after. I thought it was great and DD 'liked' them. The MIL who posted the picture before the wedding was either mean or clueless. And Grandad shouldn't have posted pictures of the new baby before the parents had a chance to do so.

    I LOVED that my guests put pictures up of our wedding! I had a hashtag at the reception and encouraged sharing. I wanted to see the photos. When I got back to my normal life, people who didn't attend wanted to see photos and I had photos to show. It was great. I had no complex or issues about people posting photos before I saw them or before the professional ones. I thought it was great.
    This is going to be me. :)

    I was fine with the few pics posted that night--there were maybe 3 or 4 and nothing before the ceremony so fair game after that!   and really the majority of pics posted were the next day and days following really, which I loved because I did not have any pics on my camera from being so busy that day.

    I also don't see the problem. I was actually going to make a pre-wedding post encouraging people to post and tag away. I have no patience and waiting weeks to see the photographer's photos would kill me. I want to change that profile pic like on the way to the honeymoon hahahah. I'm the psycho that used to take her disposable camera to CVS at 8am the morning after prom to get my pictures!

    I have taken a few pictures of brides that ended up being one of their favorite pictures. So I just don't understand the telling people not to take any trend. I usually post them the next day- only after I've seen a few others post some first.

    I was actually sad- I couldn't make it across the country to ex-roommate's wedding so I stalked on FB the whole night and next day waiting for pics and no one posted a picture of her. I was just really excited for her and wanted to see how pretty she looked and even now 3 months later, there are no pictures and it bums me out.

    My only concern with people posting photos of my wedding day is if someone posted a photo of me before FH and I saw each other.

    But I'm hoping all of my friends and family have enough common sense to figure that out on their own.

    My advice to brides to be would be try not to sweat it.  If you put out a note telling people to hold back... IT will be the people with the great cameras and good eye who will honor your wishes, and the people with the crappy cellphone pictures with the red eyes that will have missed the memo

    I feel like it's smarter to hold back from posting someone else's wedding because you don't know how they feel about it, especially if you are posting blurry phone pictures... But that said when it came to my own wedding some of my friends posted some beautiful pictures the days following my wedding and I was thrilled to see them. We were on our honeymoon in Puerto Rico so we were able to access face book and it was so nice to see the pictures and all the nice comments people were posting about them, the well wishes from those who couldn't make it to the wedding, and the comments from others on saying how fun the wedding was... It was just really nice

    This for us! We didn't take any pictures ourselves, so the guest photos were the only ones we had until our pro-pics came in.

    I personally don't mind and am kind of looking forward to seeing other people's social media pics. I don't feel comfortable sharing other people's wedding pictures without their permission though. Not everyone feels the same about this stuff. As cheesy as it is, I'll probably hashtag my wedding.
