1. Social media can help you save money.
If you're strategic about how you use social media, you can actually save a lot of money on your wedding day. For example, instead of paying for traditional paper invitations, you can create a Facebook event and invite all of your guests that way. You can also use social media to find deals on everything from your wedding dress to your catering services.
2. Social media can help you stay organized.
There are lots of great wedding planning apps out there that can help you keep track of your budget, guest list, and to-do list. But if you're not a fan of using apps, social media can also be a great way to stay organized. For example, you can create a Pinterest board to keep track of all your wedding inspiration in one place. You can also use Google Docs to create and share important documents with your fiancé, bridal party, and parents.
3. Social media can help you get feedback from your guests.
Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, and it's easy to get caught up in the details without really thinking about what your guests want or need. However, social media can be a great way to get feedback from your guests about everything from the date of the wedding to the menu choices for the reception. By creating a poll or survey on Facebook or Twitter, you can quickly gather feedback and make decisions accordingly.
4. Social media can help you connect with other couples planning their weddings.
If you're feeling stressed out about planning your wedding, social media can be a great way to connect with other couples who are in the same boat as you are. There are lots of great Facebook groups and forums where couples share advice, tips, and vendor recommendations with each other. You can also follow hashtags like #weddingplanning or #bridetobe on Twitter and Instagram to find inspiration and connect with other couples planning their weddings.
5. Social media can hinder your relationship with your spouse-to-be.
While social media can be a great way to connect with your fiancé during the wedding planning process, it can also be detrimental if you're not careful. If you spend all of your time looking at other people's weddings on Pinterest or Instagram instead of talking to your fiancé about what YOU want for YOUR wedding day, it will only add stress to the process instead of taking away from it. Make sure you're communicating with each other frequently so that there are no surprises come wedding day!
As you can see, there are both good and bad aspects to consider before deciding whether or not to use social media on your wedding day. Weigh the pros and cons carefully before making a decision so that you can make sure social media adds enjoyment to your big day instead of taking away from it!
