I don't really talk on Facebook or Twitter about wedding planning. Mainly because I think it's sort of boring for people who don't care, and also, I think it's rude to talk to people about a party to which they are not invited.
I don't put anything about the wedding on FB since we are having such a small wedding and I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings that aren't invited. I also figure no one really cares anyways so I just keep it on here where I know there will be other girls who share my obsession.
I don't discuss even the fact that I will be getting married in December on FB. My status is "Engaged" but other than that I haven't mentioned weddings at all. I will post an announcement on FB and upload the actual announcement so that those who won't receive one in the mail can see it...but that's about it.
short answer, not at all. That said, I don't update my FB status that often anyhow.
I agree with PinkSuperhero in that because alot of our "friends" won't be invited to the wedding, i don't want to comment about it. I did change my status to "engaged" though!
No. Nobody likes a wedding obsessed bride. Plus, if you invite 572 of your closest facebook friends into the planning process, it is sort of rude when the all realize they aren't invited to wedding.
I don't understand Twitter...at all. No offense to anyone who Tweets, but I don't think my daily ins and outs are that important..not even to myself! lol
I do, on the other hand update my FB status, but nothing wedding related. It could be that I'm pretty far out from the date, but I tend not to talk about wedding stuff unless someone asks me.
I haven't even updated my FB status to engaged yet - originally it was because I wanted to personally tell people I was engaged. I didn't want to let people know via FB. I think closer to the wedding, I might put a status update or two about it - but I definitely will resist at all counts. That's why WB is a great outlet for wanting to chat about wedding stuff (and has awesome bee's who WANT to hear) vs. friends that may not necessarily want to hear or really understand about the joy and pain of planning.
I don't mention wedding planning on FB, unless someone specifically asks "How's the planning going?" but I just answer that's it's going well. I think it's the same as talking about a party that their not invited to. We are having a small wedding so it's tough already w/o any FB nightmares!
Sometimes I do. Like I'll say stuff like, "wedding + budget does NOT belong in the same sentence" or "wooohoo exciting day of wedding planning!" Nothing specific or too braggy though. I mean people know I'm getting married and I think my FB friends know if they're invited or not.
Sometimes!! I don't see anything wrong with talking about it. Trust me, my high school biology teacher's feelings are NOT going to be hurt because he's not invited.
I'll say stuff like - "woohoo, three months from today, I become the Mrs.!" or most recently, "my gas gauge is broken. $650 to fix. Nuptials t-minus three weeks. FML."
And I always have a comment on my page from someone about how the big day is getting closer or it's almost time... which makes me happy. :)
i'm on twiter and fb often (i found my job through twitter! i love it) but i am very careful about how i explain wedding related stuff. i'm usually pretty vauge, just so it's not "hey i'm having a wedding and you're not invited, don't you want to know what i'm doing?!" but just the funny things that happen when you are planning.
that being said, i enjoy reading other peoples statuses and seeing what they're up to even if i'm not invited/involved. weddings definitely can be a slippery slope though!
I NEVER do status updates about the wedding planning. Too many people are already trying to get an invitation and they are sssoo not invited.lol I want them to forget I'm even getting married! haha
I don't see a problem with the occasional post...but. if it's everyday then yeah may be overboard. I will likely do the occasional post when exciting things happen...I did post when we found our venue and set the date..it helped with having people I don't see often to stop asking if we set it. I have noticed many friends in the planning process write up posts and I was never offended when I wasn't invited. It was nice to see what people were doing though...I don't expect to be invited to every FB friend's wedding either some are people I was closer to then drifted apart other friends were teammates, etc...
I do sometimes, because eh, why not? I do'nt do it often, but when I update about it it's usually complaining about money/stress or noting a countdown. Nothing very specific. Our friends are pretty clearly defined - all of our good friends are invited, and everybody else is kind of just acquaintances. We haven't gotten any people expecting to be invited who aren't.
The only wedding related thing on my FB is that I changed my relationship status to Engaged. I agree, I don't think it's fair to talk about a wedding that all of your 'friends' aren't invited to, even though they have to hear about the entire process on your status updates. :)

I was pretty anti-Facebook until about two weeks before my wedding when I finally gave in and got one, and I did talk about the wedding a bit, but not too much since some of the people weren't invited. Granted those people are internet friends I've had for years who live in different states/countries, so I don't think they were expecting an invite.
After I had told everyone I wanted to tell in person/via phone we were engaged, I updated my FB status and used the picture of him proposing as my profile picture. Other than that, I've done a couple of status updates related to the wedding, but don't feel the need to post that stuff. Most of my FB friends are long lost high school & college people, none of whom would expect to be invited, or co-workers, who wouldn't travel the 5 hours to the wedding even if they were invited.
I did update my status about wedding related stuff on FB but nothing too detailed. It was all pretty much about a couple weeks away from the wedding and most of my friends were invited (since most of my friends are family) and those that werent invited knew they werent. Most of my posts would just be like "getting ready for rehearsal dinner", "cant wait only 2 weeks left", etc.
I changed the relationship status to Engaged right away and then I posted ONE update when I found my dress because I was just so excited I couldn't help myself. Other than that, no. I have a lot of FB friends who I would invite if we were having a larger wedding so I keep the wedding talk to a minimum. I was giddy (and a little drunk from the post-dress find celebratory dinner) when I posted about the dress.
I don't have twitter, but I do make the occasional myspace or facebook comment. My recent is wanting all the addresses to gather themselves: ie...you better give me your address if you actually want to come. lol.
About 90% of my guests are on those sites, so I have no problem posting about wedding stuff every now and then. Not all the time, and nothing really detailed though.
No. I don't have Twitter so that isn't an issue. But while I do have a FB account, I don't think anyone is interested in hearing about those details, nor do I feel that it is entirely appropriate either. But to each their own.
I'm guilty of this on several occasions...for example, today, I updated my FB to let the world know that FI and I had picked up our marriage license =)
Sometimes. when it's something "important"- going to a bridal show today...XX months until I'm married (on month markers), picked out flowers....stuff like that. I don't do it too often. Just because of that.
Yeah, let me think, some of mine were...
"Family issues again... why can't we just elope"
"To stamp or not to stamp the RSVPs?"
"I thought getting gifts for my bridesmaids were hard- finding groomsmens gifts are even harder- Girls are so much easier to shop for than guys.... but then again I have etsy. There aren't a lot of man gifts on etsy."
"Getting RSVPs used to get me excited but now that's it day 4 of not getting a single reply...*sigh*"
For me, in the past year, about 15 of my FB friends have gotten engaged or married and only one of them was one I was invited to. I love it when they post pictures or tell me that their engaged or if they got their marriage license. I've actually gotten really close to someone who recently just got married because we can talk about wedding stuff.
Nope. The only wedding related thing I have up are my engagement pictures and my relationship status. I figured that no one really wants to hear about my wedding freak outs..but to each their own :)
I don't really talk about my wedding anywhere online except Weddingbee, my blog, and in emails to my mom and bridesmaids. I don't think anyone else cares that much, for one thing, and for another... it's kind of mean to the friends you aren't inviting, I think. If I had a friend who was close enough to be in my list but not close enough to invite to her wedding, it would bother me a little to see all her wedding progress. But that's because I'm actually friends with most people on my list. ;)
Twitter, not facebook.
But hell, my name is fiftyfootbride on twitter. If there weren't wedding-related tweets there'd be something off. :p
I don't mention it either, unless I link to something that's interesting and wedding related.
I don't because I'd like to keep a lot of the information private. I also dont think a lot of my facebook "friends" would care - i get annoyed when other ppl post tons of stuff. So, no.
I didn't say much about it on my facebook and myspace for the same reasons as many others have said: not everyone was invited so I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. But I update my status on both a lot in general. I have nothing interesting to say but it doesn't stop me from broadcasting what I'm doing ;)
I don't see anything wrong with writing wedding stuff on FB..for instance today I let the world know that in 1 year today we will be married! It's too exciting for me not to share :)
I do! Mostly it's because everyone except family and close friends are on a limited profile so they can't see my status updates.
I think I use facebook alot of times to say what I'm thinking and now that I know it might annoy people that I'm talking about a wedding that most of them won't be attending... I'm going to start using weddingbee....
Luckily, I'm addicted to weddingbee so now I will us this site to say what I'm thinking.
Thanks weddingbee!
I don't know about you guys but my addiction to facebook has now been replaced with weddingbee.
I wonder what will happen when I get married, will I still be addicted to weddingbee? Hmmm...
I don't get Twitter.. but I do update on Facebook. I put up new blog entries on facebook all the time! I look at it like it's a major part of my life and that's what FB is for to tell people about what's going on in your life. If they don't like it.. they can get over it.
That being said.. I was getting some very unnecessary comments from my co-workers wife. She said things like " big wedding doesn't mean it's going to be a good marriage." Things like that. It made me really mad. So now I've adjusted my settings to who sees my updates. That way if they don't care or don't want to know (or make rude comments.) I can choose who can see it.
Sometimes I don't understand why people can't enjoy other people's excitement.

I'm on facebook all the time and I'm always updating my status. Right now, being 5 weeks away from my wedding, my statuses are wedding related 50% of the time.
I know it will hurt me once I get people asking me if they are invited but I haven't really gotten any of those yet.
I think the reason I do it is because a majority of my friends are married already or are planning a wedding and we kind of bounce ideas of each other and also give support to fellow brides.
Does anyone else do this?
