Community Standards

 

The purpose of NewJerseyWedding.Directory (”NJWD”) Community (‘Community’) Standards are to make the Community a safe and enriching place for all users. We encourage our members to be welcoming to all members, offer honest and supportive advice, and share ideas to improve the wedding planning process. Members of the Community conduct themselves with a high degree of integrity, decency, and respect in order to ensure that all Community voices can be heard and everyone can find the support and information they need.

Use of the Community is subject to these Community Standards, NJWD Terms of Use, and NJWD Privacy Policy, which NJWD reserves the right to modify at any time. Please direct any questions or feedback to team@newjerseywedding.directory.

It is expected that everyone who chooses to participate in NJWD Community will hold themselves and each other to these Standards and ideals in order to foster a helpful, fun, and supportive Community for all.

Be positive, respectful and inclusive.

  • This is an inclusive community – you may not post anything that is abusive, threatening, slanderous, profane, disrespectful or belligerent against any individual or groups of individuals for any reason.
