Rule summary

  • Must be Canada-related: All posts must be related to Canadian weddings. General wedding discussions, tips, and questions are allowed as long as it's relevant to Canadians.
  • Ask specific questions: Please post a specific question, and include your city or province if it is relevant to your question, as well as any other details that will help people answer your question better.
  • Be polite and respectful: We're all trying to plan our special day, so be kind to one another. Keep discussions civil, and give constructive criticism. Let's keep it Canadian, eh!
  • No spamming or promotional content: Spam or promotional posts, comments, and accounts will be removed. Youtube channels, Instagram accounts, Facebook groups, private websites, self-promotion, vote requests, blogs, market research, giveaways, or sales of any kind are not permitted. This rule includes posts without links. This rule does not apply to the Vendor & Venue Self Promotion + Wedding Feedback megathread.

Works well

  • A specific planning question with your city or province in it, like how early people in Toronto booked their venue
  • A genuine request for feedback on a real decision you are making about your own wedding in Canada
  • A helpful comment on someone else's thread that shares a concrete tip from your own experience, with no link attached
  • A post about a Canadian specific wedding topic, like planning around a winter date in a prairie province
  • Your vendor or product listing placed inside the Vendor & Venue Self Promotion + Wedding Feedback megathread, where the rules allow it

Avoid

  • Posting your website, blog, YouTube channel, Instagram account, or Facebook group anywhere outside the megathread
  • Sharing a link to a survey, market research, giveaway, or sale, even with no product pitch attached
  • Dropping a promo in the main feed and telling yourself the megathread rule is only about links, because the rule covers posts without links too
  • Asking a vague question like what do people think about wedding venues, with no city or province and no details
  • Posting generic wedding content that has nothing to do with Canada
  • Being pushy or rude when someone gives your plan critical feedback

What r/WeddingsCanada Is For

This is a community for Canadian weddings. The description says it is for brides, grooms, friends, and family to discuss and share their wedding plans, ideas, and experiences. So the people posting here are mostly couples planning their own wedding in Canada, plus friends and family members helping with those plans. The rules make it clear that general wedding tips and questions are welcome too, as long as they are relevant to Canadians. This is not a place for vendors to hang out, it is a place for people getting married.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

Four rules decide what survives here, and I will name them the way the community does. “Must be Canada-related” means every post has to connect to Canadian weddings in some real way. “Ask specific questions” means you cannot post a vague thought, you need a clear question and your city or province when it is relevant. “Be polite and respectful” sets the tone for how people talk to each other. “No spamming or promotional content” is the big one for marketers, because it bans spam and promotion in posts, comments, and even whole accounts. The same rule also lists what counts as promotion, including YouTube channels, Instagram accounts, Facebook groups, private websites, blogs, market research, giveaways, and sales, and it says this applies even to posts without links. There is one exception written into the rule, which is the Vendor & Venue Self Promotion + Wedding Feedback megathread.

What To Post

For a founder doing respectful marketing here, the honest answer is that direct promotion is off the table, so your value comes from being genuinely useful. Ask a specific question tied to your own work, and include your city or province, because the rules ask for that when it is relevant. For example, a founder building a wedding planning tool could ask Canadians which part of planning they struggle with most, with real context about why they are asking. Or you could share a specific experience from a Canadian wedding you were part of and ask for feedback on a concrete decision. Keep it plain, keep it civil, and give more to the thread than you take from it. If you actually have something promotional, like a vendor service or wedding product, the rules give you exactly one home for it, and that is the megathread.

What To Avoid

The fastest way to get removed here is promotion. Any spam or promotional post, comment, or account gets taken down, and the rule spells out a long list of banned things, like YouTube channels, Instagram accounts, Facebook groups, private websites, blogs, market research, giveaways, vote requests, and sales of any kind. Notice it says this includes posts without links, so you cannot quietly promote in the text of your post and think you found a loophole. The only exception is the Vendor & Venue Self Promotion + Wedding Feedback megathread, which is the single place self promotion is allowed. Beyond promotion, posts that are not related to Canadian weddings get removed, posts without a specific question get removed, and being rude or unkind goes against the community's own spirit.

Common questions about r/WeddingsCanada

Can I ask general wedding questions here?

Yes. Rule 3 asks everyone to keep discussions civil and give constructive criticism, and the community is built on people planning their special day helping each other.

Can I post if my wedding is not in Canada?

Rule 1 says all posts must relate to Canadian weddings, so bring the Canadian angle. If you post a question, include your city or province when it is relevant.

Is there any way to promote my wedding business at all?

Yes, the megathread is the one place the rules carve out for it, so put your links and self promotion there.

What details should I include in my post?

Rule 2 says to include your city or province when relevant, plus any other details that help people give a better answer.

Can I run a giveaway to introduce my brand?

Rule 4 removes spam or promotional accounts, so a profile built only to advertise is a poor fit for this community.
