It's natural that once you're engaged, you want to start shouting the news from the rooftops! It's an exciting time, and what's more, you need help! With social media like Facebook, My Space, and Twitter at the ready, sharing your news is easier than ever. Just one little click and ... 300 people now think they're invited to your wedding, and your future sister-in-law knows exactly how you feel about her.

Facebook and MySpace are great for getting the word out, but that's also their downside: Sometimes you want the word out, but not quite all the way out there. For a hilarious look at how over-sharing can go wrong check out STFU Marrieds and STFU Brides.

Wedding Pre-Party was created with this problem in mind. With Wedding Pre-Party you can create your own personalized wedding planning site complete with chat and sharing features. This is similar to sites like ning.com, but because Wedding Pre-Party is designed with weddings in mind, it has special features including the ability to integrate your wedding Web site, and share tasks from your wedding checklist.

Of course, sometimes the very people you need to talk about are those involved in your wedding planning (mother-in-law or bridesmaid strife anyone?). That's where wedding forums -- check out the forums at OneWed.com -- can be extremely helpful. Wedding forums and chat rooms give you the chance to ask for advice and vent in perfect anonymity.
