Tips before you post

  1. Photograph the table before anyone sits down. Flowers, cake and place cards look best untouched, and you'll get the whole spread in one frame.

  2. Take the group photo early, before the mimosas, the heat and the cake. Ask a guest who isn't in it to hold the camera and take three shots.

  3. Tag the hostess, the florist and the baker in the first photo they appear in. It's a thank-you that costs nothing, and small businesses notice.

  4. Ask the bride before you post her face, her dress or her ring. Some brides want the wedding to look fresh on the day, and a shower photo is the first thing people see.

  5. A short Reel of the gift opening, the games or the cake cutting tells the party better than a still. Film vertical and keep it under twenty seconds.

  6. Check the guest list before tagging anyone. Some of your friends and relatives would rather not appear on a public feed.

Questions people ask

What do you write on Instagram for a bridal shower?

Name the person and the moment: the brunch, the cake, the game or the card that made her cry. One specific detail and a short line of warmth works better than a long speech.

Should I post bridal shower photos before the wedding?

Ask the bride first. Many are happy for the group photo and the table to go up, and some prefer to save the dress, the ring and the details for the wedding. Her answer decides.

What is the difference between a bridal shower and a bachelorette party?

A bridal shower is usually a daytime gathering with food, games and gifts, often with family and older guests too. A bachelorette party is a night out or a weekend with the bride's close friends.

Who should I tag in a bridal shower post?

Tag the bride, the hostess and any small business that helped, such as the florist or baker. Tag guests only when they're happy to be on your feed.
