I was talking with a friend the other day, and the topic came up about how people post entirely too much information on Facebook and Twitter. There’s a common joke that you shouldn’t post what you just ate while you’re still swallowing your last bite, because no one is really interested. I agree with that one 100 percent! But in all their defense and origin, sites like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace (if anyone still uses it), etc., are social media sites and are used for means of communicating and exchanging information from one party to the next.

It would only seem natural for you to want to communicate your wedding details to your friends/followers. However, are there “limits” on how much a nearlywed should post about her wedding? To me, I think there are some things you should share and some things you should keep between you, your groom and the immediate members of your bridal party. I feel that when a bride blabs every last little detail about the wedding on her social media page, the wedding guests will have little to look forward to by the time of the wedding.
I put together a “Should Post” and “Should Not Post” in terms of your wedding. Of course, the decision is ultimately up to you, but I suggest thinking twice about what you’re saying before you click that “share” button.
SHOULD POST:

* That you’re engaged
* Your wedding date or what time of the year you’re thinking
* That you found your dress/venue/florist/etc.
* DIY projects suggestions
* Helpful planning information
* Wedding weight loss/fitness tips
* Registry location/information
* That you’re heading to your cake tasting/meeting with your photographer/etc.
* Some of your engagement pictures (if permissible by your photographer)
* How much you love your fiancé!
SHOULD NOT POST:
* The exact wedding ceremony and venue location (This is a privacy issue. Too many weirdos out there!)
* The exact detailing of your wedding dresses
* How much your Bride Wedding Gowns cost
* What annoying habits your future in-laws have
* The details of the meal served at the reception down to what seasoning is being used
