13 things not to put on Facebook

1) However excited you are, don't change your status  to 'engaged' the second he proposes – your mum might like to know first!

2) Planning the best hen do ever? take it off your wall and onto private messages, otherwise friends you haven't invited will feel left out.

3) Remember the old adage, 'what goes on tour stays on tour'? It might be safest to have the same policy about your hen do. The pictures of you pole dancing might be passable, but once the stripper's arrived... well, that's another matter!

4) Don't get caught out bitching about your bridesmaids online. It'll only end in tears.

5) If you're stealing all your reception ideas from blogs, don't click 'like' on all of them or everyone will have seen the looks before.

6) That picture of you looking cross-eyed as you cut the cake is one of the bin, not for tagging! Don't just upload all your wedding photos – edit them first.

7) Yes, you do look lovely in those engagement pictures with your ex-fiancé, and the shots of you kissing your first love are cute, but it might be time to remove them from your profile now – you're a one-man woman now!

8) Never confess that you're worried about your fiancé's mates behaving themselves at the reception. Funnily enough, they won't like it.

9) Your mother-in-law jokes might have your colleagues in hysterics but if your husband spots one on Facebook, he may not think you're quite so funny!

10) You've found your dress? Hurrah! Now's not the time to share it with the world though, don't spoil the surprise.

11) Sorry, it's too late to take a Facebook compatibility test. 23%? You've already said yes!

12) Of course it's ok to count down to W-day... real friends won't mind hearing about it every now and then. Just not EVERY day!

13) We know your honeymoon lingerie is hot, but those pics are for his eyes only!
