(Closed) Another Facebook Status Question…

I don’t necessarily think it’s mean.  I occasionally post updates, but never anything specific or daily updates in your face sort of stuff.  Actually all the posts that I’ve alluded to my wedding have been deleted b/c I like to delete old posts.

I’m going with no. Because I don’t know how everyone else does fb… but I have my friends, my family, and then there are the people I went to school with, or people I kinda know..coworkers…and if i had to invite everyone who I was friends with on fb I couldn’t afford it.

No. I think it’s unrealistic to expect that people care that much that they’d be offended if you posted about something as big as a wedding. Every day might not be kind (or appealing), but to me, it’s no big deal. How many people talk about their wedding in everyday life with people they’re not inviting? I have, not because I brought it up necessarily, but because it came up.

It’s not mean. I have tons of Facebook friends that won’t be invited.

@JenniMichele: I probably should have picked “I’ll explain below” instead of yes b/c I don’t think it’s mean exactly. However, I do think it’s asking for trouble…especially if you have FB friends that you won’t be inviting. You will probably get a lot of questions about when people can expect their invitations. Pretty awkward if you are not inviting them.

I don’t think it’s mean, but I do roll my eyes at people who post wedding updates all the time.

I would say no, and I post. I don’t get too specific with anything, just a generic “we booked the caterer” or something equally as exciting to me. I have a mix of close friends on there and just people I know, and I would never think that my best friend from high school’s brother would think that he would be invited.

I think it depends on the post. IF you are posting stuff like “Ceremony is at this place reception at this time to follow” and stuff like specific details, then I think it is unnecessary and will probably make some people upset…especially if there are friends on FB of yours that are not invited and thought they would be or would like to be etc. However, if you are posting something like “going dress shopping!” or “2 weeks to go!” then I dont think its rude at all!

I actually stopped posting wedding stuff on FB, after getting a couple Bridezilla comments… Grrr. !! And Fiance keeps pointing out that I’m the one trying to shrink the guest list, so it’s prob not best to throw too much info out there… I dunno. Strange world we’re in!

i think it can be good or bad – if all you post about is your wedding and all your details and how awesome its gonna be, yeah not great when people who read your stuff daily wont be invited (and im not talking about that long lost HS friend im talking about a person you work with or someone you see on a daily basis) or if you are posting stuff to attract attention or comments. (i posted about this type of status earlier….)

I think the OCCASIONAL status is fine, but keep it to a minimum – remember no one cares about your wedding like you do. after the initial couple weeks of “eeeeee! im engaged!!!” leave your venting to weddingbee and the ladies and leave FB out of it.

No, not mean. But I think you should be selective about what you post. I don’t post anything specific about our ceremony or reception because I wouldn’t want people that aren’t invited to feel bad. I also think it’s annoying when the only thing that someone posts about is their wedding. But the occassional post is just fine.

I agree with @JamaicaBride – it’s not mean, but it could cause confusion among some people on whether they are invited. Of course, an occasional reference isn’t bad – found my dress!, two weeks to go! – but keep the details out of your posts.

Consider this, though: Just this week, I figured out how to create a “secret” group on Facebook. (Seriously, you can choose between public, private and secret, which means no one even knows the group exists except the members.) So I created a “secret” Wedding group and added all of my Facebook friends who will be invited. Now I can post freely about wedding related stuff just to the people who care. (Still, you need to be careful not to overdo it!)

I think it depends on the way you do it and the frequency. I think the only things I’ve posted about the wedding are 1) when we got engaged and 2) when we went to do e-pics. Other than that I don’t really know why I would post anything else. I’m sure as it gets closer I’ll post a few things.
