It is better to avoid a show off on social media and conclude marital rites before announcing on social media. So that when unforeseen circumstances happen, the number of people who would have heard of the relationship will not be much.
Never post your relationship issues online
You must never post your relationship problems online whether you make it known that you are partly involved or not. People will assume, so avoid talking about heartbreak stories, domestic violence or a story about your past relationship, reduce the time you spend on social media and spend more time with preparing for your wedding. Talking about your relationship will give other people reasons to make suggestions which may not be favorable to you.
Avoid showing off pictures of your partner
Even though it has become a trend for engaged couples to show off pictures of their partners, it is still advisable not to show off their photographs until you both are married. Keep your partner’s photos off prying eyes on social media instead keep them protected. Some people may become envious and carry stories that may be false all around just to ensure that they distort your relationship.
Avoid posting your wedding plans online
You do not need to carry everyone along with your wedding plans, there is no need for you to post your wedding plans online, for example, posting about going cake testing, clothes shopping, meeting a caterer is unnecessary.

Your dress is meant to be unveiled on your wedding day, give your friends something to look forward to, let them be enthusiastic about seeing what your dress will look like and make it a surprise to them.
Never talk about how stressed you are
Weddings come with tremendous pressure, and you might be tempted to talk about it online, but that is entirely uncalled for. Keep your complains off social media, people do not need to know what you go through and are not interested in what you go through, face the stress with smiles.
Don’t disclose your wedding budget
Avoid posting your budget online, you will spend plenty of money, there is no need trying to impress people by telling them how much you have spent or still spending, it is probably not their business.
