To Facebook or not to Facebook...


Recommended Posts

I wasn't on facebook until after my wedding, but I would've waited until the important people knew. However, the important people would be our parents, siblings and best freiends. I wouldn't have called extended family like aunts and uncles. If I had a living grandparent I probably would've told them, but not really sure.

We got engaged in Turkey and was dying to tell everyone but we agreed to wait and tell our family face to face, so the day we got back we spent going around all our close family and friends filling them in.

Once we did this I put it on Facebook! Lots of cousins and extended family on there who were fine with finding out like that!

We waited to tell our family and close friends before we posted it. I did make a comment on my status of "this was the best weekend of my life" but did not specify why... After I told my mom and close friends (because really they were the only ones that didn't know, FI had asked my dad and told his family ahead of time), then we changed things on FB.

 

I think that if I had to find out about something like this from one of my close friends on FB, I would have been disappointed in how it was done and how they couldn't personally tell me.

Well my grandmother and I are not particularly close (she dosen't really like me). So it isn't the end of the world how she found out, I mean, I never got a birthday call from her, she always favoured some of my cousins over my and some of my other cousins (we are her step-son's kids...).

 

Anyways, so I am not upset! I did however call my parents and told them, and FI called his parents and told them, and then we updated out statuses on FB.

When we got engaged, our parents had just left for week long trips to Aruba and Hawaii and we didn't want to tell them over the phone. We had to keep quiet for a week until we could tell them in person. My friends at work knew, obviously, but I made them swear not to say anything on Facebook until I changed my status to engaged.

 

I really wanted to see how happy my family was for us and I couldn't imagine having anyone find out via Facebook. But, that said...to each her own!

 

I do agree with BachataBride though, have you spoken to your grandma about it? It might make her feel better if you share the details directly with her.

first off fb wasnt really a thing when i got engaged. i did announce it on myspace but at the time i really only had friends and aquaintances on there so it was no biggie. even now that im exclusively on fb, i still only have a few family members.

 

2nd tho, all of dougs family was with us when we got engaged so no worries would have been there! and my moms side of the family is sort of computer illiterate so haha, no one rally would have known. wink.gif

I made sure that I told all close family and friends first. I think I even waited weeks, maybe even a month just in case there were a few more people that I had to get to. As much as I love technology, that's one of the downfalls.... its less personal.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
