Social media are the 'it' factor of the current generation. They have made a lot of things simpler and manageable these days, from personal to professional values – and that would include wedding planning. There are a lot of great tools out there that would be helpful to help you build your dream wedding come true; and yet, there are still some lines that shouldn't be crossed. Scroll down to find out the dos and don'ts of social media for wedding planning.
DO: Find lovely inspirations
Websites like Pinterest have been proven to lend a helping hand to all those who are in need of inspirations. It is a definite place to stop and create some boards that are easy to go back to and refer when making your final decisions.
DON'T: Forget to tell the big news in person
When it comes to the big news, your dearest ones need to hear it directly from you – not from Facebook status or Twitter updates. It is a crucial wedding etiquette that you need to remember. Also read about the rules of sending out digital invitations, right here.
DO: Put a digital reservation on Facebook
Create a Facebook event and invite the guests to ask for their response on RSVP is also one of the great advantages of social media. After sending out your invitations, you don't have to call them personally for their RSVP.
DON'T: Expect perfection
Just because you have saved all adorable inspirations on the Pinterest board nicely, it doesn't mean you can now expect perfection, that your wedding will be exactly the same as you imagined. Loosen up a little bit. Putting too much pressure on the wedding perfection will only tense you up.
DO: Find the right vendors in our vendor list
When you land on our vendor page, you can scroll down and take a look at which vendors can provide what services, and which portfolios actually resemble your style. Even more, you can save your vendor preferences and go back anytime you want to find their contact information.
DON'T: Be an online Bridezilla
Wedding planning is stressful and might get you on an anxious or tense state, but that doesn't mean you can share it with the world. Be the example of class and don't let people know how much the flower selection make you crazy or how you are having a big argument with your fiancé regarding the song choice.
