WWYD Wedding guest social media post

Just post congrats to your DH siblings post

why worry about what your sister thinks, she hasn’t got herself organised to post pics has she, so if she is upset it’s on her

But then I don’t get why the overwhelming desire to post everything on SM anyway

Mother of god! What is this nonsense?

What new batshittery is this? Not sure i understand the post to be honest. Are you not allowed to congratulate the couple until they've posted their photos on SM and if they haven't posted their photos you can't congratulate a totally separate couple who have married in the meantime??

Why does anyone need to post about someone else’s wedding? So weird. You attended, probably gave a gift and card, that’s enough.

If you suddenly posted a congratulations message six months after my wedding I’d think you were deranged

I would get a grip and stop fretting about congratulations posts. Nobody is watching your social media and keeping score.

Have you checked that these couples are okay with photos of their wedding day to be posted on YOUR social media account to your friends - which unless they know all your social media friends will include people who are strangers to them?
surely if you went to the weddings you congratulated them on the day and maybe sent a card or text afterwards - that is more than enough to show you care? Or is the social media post more about you want to be seen to be congratulating them by others?

I’m fuming that no one did a congratulations post for my wedding.

Oh hang on, Social Media didn’t exist then. I had to make do with congratulations cards and people just coming along to our wedding to celebrate with us on the day. How did we cope?

There is no need to be congratulating anyone on Fb whose wedding you attended or have since seen in person, as presumably you did it person on the day or when you saw them.

There's no need for any of this overthinking.

Someone you know has sent you their wedding photos. What all of them? To you directly? Or they've shared some on their own SM? Why on earth would you feel obliged to make your own post about someone else's wedding? This is all so weird.

I know for some people are weirdly fixated on this stuff but if your sibling hasn’t put photos on social media herself, then I can’t imagine she’s going to be fussed either way whether you have posted about it.

Just delete Facebook. Much easier. There are enough social rules to follow in real life 😅

If someone is making such a fuss about.. absolutely nothing, they would find something else to stress about even without social media. They probably already do 😂

You don’t need to do a post for either couple, you are way over thinking this

I'm so happy I don't have social media, this is headache inducing x

I feel we are obligated to do a celebration post

No you’re not, don’t be silly!

Nobody is checking your social media to assess who’s wedding you have or haven’t posted about, if you had no pics of your sisters wedding obviously you had nothing to post.

You’re completely over thinking this, equally if you’d had some nice pics from the other weddings you’ve been to and wanted to post a pic with something like ‘had such a fab time at Bob & Sue’s wedding!’ or whatever that’s totally normal.

You don’t have to assess whether or not you’re close enough to them to do that, if you’re at any event you can just post a picture.

Why did you need to wait for a photo to do a congratulations post for your sibling? You could have written something without the photo.

And why does your DH’s sibling sending you photos mean you are obligated to do a post? Maybe just put congratulations as a comment to their post rather than doing your own post.

My God. What fucking nonsense.

Sounds like your sibling couldn't give a monkeys about being congratulated on social media, if they've not posted anything of their own wedding on socials that's because it's not important to them. I can't see how under these circumstances they'd care about you congratulating someone else.

If I was your sibling I'd struggle to give a toss, I've no idea if anyone posted anything for my wedding, I was too busy enjoying my wedding (and enjoying banging my new husband thereafter).

It's not the social media obsession, it's the OP who can't just write a "congrat post" in timely manner and needs to create a lot of drama over.. I still don't really understand what? 😂

A photo of part of the invit' hiding most of the details, wit a congrat!
and more photos later.. how hard can that be!

I feel we are obligated to do a celebration post.

Really? Are you the Queen or something? is the world waiting, with bated breath, for you to recognise the marriage in public?

Don’t be so daft.

This! I couldn’t quite understand what the issue was?

I'm sure if you're that bothered you can do a post and make the settings so that your sibling/family can't see it. If someone does accidentally see it you can tell them why. They will probably think you are a nutter for worrying about it but unlikely to be offended after the explanation.

I don’t think you need to post anything if it’s been 6 months ! 🤣 maybe wait until their 1 year anniversary lol
