Face­book and the other social networking sites can help you connect with your wedding guests and help connect them to one another.

Use it beforehand

• to keep people up-​​to-​​date on the progres­sion of your planning.
• to intro­duce people to one another
• to ask for ideas or help on getting things accomplished.
• to up-​​date on any last minute changes in plan (or a weather change!)

use it afterwards

• to keep the commu­nity connected
• to follow up on stories that started at the wedding
• to tell people how great it all was
• to let people know about progress on a char­i­table endeavor if you either requested gifts or gave favors for a charity.

do NOT use it

• as a thank you note. they need to be snail mail and personal.
• if many people on your crowd are not the right age demo­graphic to be tuned in. some of your grand­par­ents will be on face­book… many will not!
