Social Media DOs and DONTs for the Connected Bride

We’re living in an age of Pinterest, Facebook, and Instagram which opens up a few new doors in the wedding planning process. Keep in mind that the internet is a public space so there are a few things you should keep in mind when prepping for the big day.

Here’s some wedding etiquette for the connected bride:

DO share a photo of your ring - but just don’t go overboard. ONE quick Instagram or Facebook photo is a great way to show off your new bling, but only after certain people have been informed first. Which leads us to…

DONT announce your engagement on your social channels without telling your nearest and dearest first - Not sure mom would like to discover a Facebook photo announcing your engagement before receiving a phone call. Contact the important people in your life prior to sending the announcement out to cyberspace.

DO let your guests know your thoughts on social media and the big day - Whether you want to incorporate a special wedding hashtag or make it an unplugged event, let your guests know! Whatever fits your style and wedding best should be communicated - this includes rules of posting photos of you in your wedding gown prior to the big reveal.

DONT share links to registry - Your registry should be found in two places, your wedding website (should you choose to make one) and your invitations. While you may think tweeting links to your registry is a good idea, you don’t want to seem like you are demanding people to buy you presents.

DO use social media to scout vendors - Looking up florists, photographers, venues, and limo companies (*cough*Dynasty Limo*cough*) has never been easier. Check to see how many followers each company has, read any reviews, and view their photos for inspiration. Plus, sometimes vendors post discounts or deals specifically for their social media followers!
