Gotta love FB
Just found out my sister is engaged! Good for her, I want nothing more than for her to be happy.
I'd cancel FB, but, DH's family is everywhere but here and my army buddies are all over the world. For now, FB is the best way to keep in touch with everyone... (not to forget my crazy big family too! Well over 50 cousins, just from one side.)
I like the carrier pigeon idea. That takes super high level class. And timing and stuff. Coo, coo. ?
I found out my sister, who was my best friend at the time was engaged through one of our friends who was drunk, she didn't want me-or anyone else close to her to know because he was an egotitical dick and they moved way too fast. I was so pissed I told the entire family, and then we all pretended we didn't know to see how long it would take her to tell us.
Oh but that's completely off topic, just s*** ty ways to give it important things.
And spaceship announcements before calling important ppl are tacky
I found out my sister was "engaged" through comments between her and her friend on a picture from MY wedding that my sister was tagged in..... I say "engaged" because my sister tends to go through guys frequently and most of them she was "engaged" to. All losers. But it was very irritating to find out that way.
Maybe that's why the turn out was as big for my daughters bday party...
I like FB invites but only because when I ask for addresses I never receive them to send invites. Since all my friends & family are on FB 24/7 it seems like a good idea.
I would never do FB invite for a baby shower or wedding though. That's kinda tacky.
@ashley, cool that you announced it - AFTER telling your important people in your life. I understand this completely.
All my sis would have had to call is out mom/dad, one phone call and then posted the FB announcement. That would have made sense.
I think I'm old fashioned, but I think its so inappropriate to announce important things on Facebook.
Pick up the phone. None of this texting thing. If it's important, then you need to TALK to people about it!!
I understand for out if town relatives and extended family. But sharing information with your Close friends and family on Facebook is just tacky..
But hey, I'm old fashioned. I have a handful of real friends, not the 200+ friends people seem to have on Facebook.
Some FB announcements are cool. I get it for the convenience and communication, especially since so many people are on there and 'rely' on FB.
It's sad, though, when our mom finds out that my sis got engaged, through FB.. That's the eye roll.
My dad gets pretty bent at of shape about Facebook announcements (he thinks the government or my mother somehow will see. Lol) So out of respects for him I always tell him the big stuff first, then tell my brother, and then my sister. In that order. And then wait till next day for Facebook. It would kinda be a slap in the face way to find out stuff about people who are supposed to be family or just close.
