AIBU for not wanting to invite family to baptism?

[Saju1]

I am a very private person and don't like people taking pictures of me or my baby, and posting them on social media. I have met with some family members who have taken pictures of me without asking and being offended if I don't want to be in a picture and also when I ask them to delete it.

For my birthday I also asked for no pictures, and they started taking their phones out and filming. I thought this was really rude.

I now have a baby and planning to have them baptised, and I don't want the event filmed, or taken pictures, or on social media.

I feel the only option I have is not invite them. AIBU?

Yabu and weird

Ask for the officiating priest's help to stop photography during the ceremony.

That's not the same as having random people posting their inevitable garbage on social media, they have absolutely no right to do so. If a person says they don't want a photo taking that should be the end of the conversation, after that their phone, camera deserves smashing to the floor. It's a form of abuse and the cause of massive problems for some people. By all means the parents and decent family members can have photos for their personal enjoyment.

Why? Believe it or not but not everyone lives their lives on social media and if this is what the OP wants then it should be followed. If anyone does take and post a photo of their baby then I'd make sure that that person never sees my baby again.

Rubbish, serial obsessives with social media can't be trusted.

Totslly agree, I once deleted over 500 photos of a fellow traveller's camera because he thought it was funny to take my photo despite my, otherwise respected, wishes.
