Community Guidelines

The following Community Guidelines are here to help you understand what it means to be a member of DIY Bride. Don’t forget that your use of DIY Bride is subject to these Guidelines and our Terms of Use .

What We’re About

We’re all about weddings and commitment celebrations of all kinds between consenting adults. Our focus is on weddings and wedding-related crafts and ask that our members share their knowledge, experience, and ideas to help and inspire others create their own awesome celebrations.

Our members are smart, opinionated, irreverent, fun, playful and diverse. The DIY Bride community is made of people from different races, orientations, religions, personal convictions, economic status, etc. who have the right to feel comfortable in our community space. We expect – at a minimum – that our members treat each other with respect and dignity at all times.

To keep our happy little home free of unnecessary drama and spam, the following rules are in place. Violators will be unceremoniously removed and banned from our site.

1. Don’t be a jerk. While we appreciate and encourage open discussion and debate, members are not allowed to wage personal attacks, flame wars, or abusive behavior of any kind on any person(s) in our community. This includes racist, sexist, homophobic, and threatening comments. You may certainly disagree with another member, but you are expected to do so in a mature, level-headed manner. If you feel the urge to attack anyone, don’t. We’ll boot you off the site forevah.

2. Don’t use the site for commercial purposes. It’s not fair to use our site to sell anything or promote your business. If we find you selling (or promoting) products, services, or yourself through your blog (hosted here), posts, community profile or other site features, we will terminate your account. If you want to advertise, please contact us for rates and options.

3. Don’t upload content that’s illegal or prohibited. Keep porn, illegal activities, copyright violations, illicit materials, etc. off the site. We report violations to law enforcement as necessary.

In Conclusion
We’ve crafted these guidelines to ensure that everyone within the community has the experience they want. We’re all here to have fun, learn, and talk about weddings so it’s important that you understand the importance of moderating your content responsibly. If you don’t feel that you can abide by our Community Guidelines as outlined above, DIY Bride isn’t for you. No hard feelings, cupcake.

If you ever have any questions or comments, we’d love to hear from you. Please feel free to drop us a line anytime.
