To tweet or not to tweet?

We have become so used to using social media in our everyday lives that we think EVERYTHING should be shared on Facebook or Twitter.  Should you share your wedding details via social media? Is it proper etiquette?  Here's the thing, a wedding is a sacred, serious life changing ceremony - its not something done in 140 characters or less.  Details of planning are exciting, you want to tell the world you're getting married, but should you?  We agree that its great to share the news of your engagement, but there needs to be caution exercised.  What if everyone you want to share the news with is not as technologically savvy or they don't FB or Tweet and are surprised they didn't here the news from you via phone or mail? There will be some hurt feelings and even some anger.  Re-consider tweeting or Facebooking the details of your wedding plans, regardless of it being the new way to communicate.  No, your family and friends don't have to work with it because its your wedding - its just impersonal announcing this kind of event via the Internet.  Sending an Evite, Facebook message or Tweet to invite people to your engagement party or other wedding related event - says a couple of things about how you and your fiance are approaching this life change:  1. You're too busy to even take time to send actual paper invitations (no this does not mean you're being Green!);  2. You have no budget to do this (hint - this is a preview of the actual wedding to come); 3. Your style is 140 characters long (you don't have time to do things that will be memorable for you and your guests); and 4. You're in love with the idea of the wedding planning and not ready for the day after the wedding - the marriage.   What about blogging about your wedding plans? There are two schools of thought on that - we'll talk about it next week!
