Do you hate ppl uploading pics of your wedding to FB?

Cloves

Would it be unreasonable to ask people not to post pics up on face book?

I have two friends who are facebook addicts and will pretty much post a pic of everything that they do (dinner with them is a pain as they have to pose and photograph everyones dishes!). The last time we went to a wedding the wedding pics were uploaded within 3 days... before the couple had even uploaded any.

I just think weddings are a personal thing and while I am happy if they want to post pics of themselves, don't want them to upload any if I am in them. I will upload myself if/when I want to...

And how would you deal with them? Take them aside and tell them specifically ( but then what if others do it?), or send everyone an email a few weeks before?

Or am I just being a bit bridezilla about it?

I went to a friends wedding last year and he mentioned he didn't want any pics on FB.....Everyone respected it and no photo's were uploaded.

If you just ask they should respect your wishes.... TBH I think I will ask the same to our guests

Thanks for reminding me!

I too am a slight FB addict but not to the extreme of having my camera constantly at hand and taking photos of food. I wouldn't mind people posting pics but its your wedding and its your pictures essentially.

If you are really bothered just mention that you would prefer to be the first to post pics and once you do so they can work away.

And your not being a bridezilla about it! x

its not just you this has to be one of my biggest pet hates...i think its rude to be honest..as you say i will put pictures of myself and family up at MY wedding when i choose too not when one of my guests thinks everyone should see them, i to o have 1 particular friend who does this. shes also posted pics of my son in the past that where taken at her house, not at a bday party or anything just when we stayed there, she also posted pics of my sons birthday party...i chose not to as he had friends from school there and werent sure the parents wanted their kids platered all over the internet! all of my albums are friends only, i dont tag people in them just incase their firneds can access them as i know sometimes if a friend is tagged in an album you can often view the whole album. this is why i have the privacy settings i upload the pics for my friends and family to see not the whole world

sorry just on a ramble about it, i will be asking people to not upload our wedding pics on their face books..and definatly not before we have

:mad: You're supposed to think it not say it!:rotfl:

... I think I would feel better off telling them about it and risk any comments from them rather than fuming after they have been put up and its too late...

Oh well... wedding is a while away but was just reminded of this when a picture of me in a wetsuit (leaving nothing to the imagination!) was posted... I've untagged myself... but anyone else clicking on the album will see it... so am going to tell the friend to take it offline

I like looking at facebook but until recently didn't realise that every person I am friends with gets notified when I am tagged in a photo (I have now changed this). I am not a bridezilla but I hate not having control over people looking at pictures of me and my life when I am not the person posting the pictures. If I wanted pictures of me on facebook for all to see then I will be the one posting them.

Thank you so very much for the thread, I hadn't thought about people putting pictures on facebook but I shall certainly be including a note about this in my invite and making sure others are aware of my wishes.

My wedding day will be about me and my new husband and the selection of family we have chosen to share it with, not 'friends' on facebook.

i dont use facebook because of all of this as I dont want people from my past who know nothing about me now to see anything Ive been doing, means I have to check what my teen posts as I am trying to teach him that I do not want outsiders to know stuff about me/us i would hate it if a photo of my wedding EVER went on facebook :( i guess I will have to request it - hadnt even thought about it until now!

im the opposite to you and will be quite looking forward to pics being posted as hopefully will have a photographer so our pics wont be ready for a while to post on so ill be looking forward to looking at them and so i can look at all the effort etc. i also like seeing bits i missed if something funny happened etc as its hard when your mingling and the centre of attention.
but i do ask photos to be kept to friends only as i dont like every person being able to see them

ps.i hate that when people post pics of kids without asking as im very worried about who can access pics etc so i always make sure i ask/people ask me and also family who live away fromus always ask if they can copy the pic

i hadnt thought about it either!
im never really on facebook, just if someones messaged me.
i also hate seeing pics of myself that are tagged. anyone could be looking at them.
if i wanted people to see my wedding day then i would invite them not have them looking via a friend of a friend of a friend etc
