The do's and don'ts on Instagram

In the case of babies, an engagement or wedding

With joyful things in life, you want to share, I get that. Your great love doesn't drop to one knee every day (it seems to me) and the chance of babies is about once every fifteen months (if you really go for it). But just like we don't understand changing a profile picture to a newborn, there are clear do's and don'ts in sharing. Because sharing is caring and this way your friends and followers stay a bit okay in your social network.

Choose your caption wisely

Says American Vogue. Wise that I think this. The #isaidyes is just not that original and ‘him + me = 3’ gives you the creeps. I prefer Chrissy Teigen's: ‘It's Johns’. Not if your boyfriend isn't named John of course, but otherwise it's exactly the right dose of funny with a bit of dry.

The ring 

Even if he gave you a diamond that makes you feel top-heavy, a distant shot will do just fine. No one is waiting for a close-up where the diamond expert can see how many carats it is.

The bachelorette party

One photo in sober state and done. Just think of your stiff uncle and aunt when posting the little string of the stripper. And that chicken suit is funny when they pull you into it, but a bit less so when your boss shares your lifeless head plus chicken suit on Monday during coffee. This image is group chat only.

Dude, don't do it

Phones are not done. You marry at your best, so it's not funny when someone shares a blurry picture of you standing with your belly forward. Or when a dude goes live on Insta Stories, making your friends in the row behind not anything, but the people you didn't invite can follow everything. Just leave it in your bag.

Echoes not mandatory

I already mentioned the misunderstanding about echoes from us non-echoers, but remember: even if you don't post an echo on Instagram or show a 'I-have-one-hamburger-too-many-on-mini-belly', you are pregnant. If the doctor says so, I don't want to talk you into being pregnant. Just like you can be in a relationship without being Facebook official and really get married without a thousand identical photos on social.

Share in moderation 

And not all an identical photo. We've seen those after one time.
