As title, really!

Took some snaps of a yoga class Mrs Nod did for a hen party and she wants a few shrunk for posting on facebook. Since I don't use the site, I have absolutely no idea as to what size to shrink them to! Since Mrs Nod isn't photography minded, she has as much of a clue as me as to the pixel dimensions. Will 600x400 pixels be too small and if so, will 800x533 be enough bigger?

FWIW, I'm not bothered about anyone nicking them off FB since I'm giving the bride to be a disk with all the images as part of the package (and will extract payment in kind from Mrs Nod!!!)
 
I think the usual used to be resize to 1000 pixels on longest axis. I do it to 2000 and it works well.
 
Thanks for the hint. Pretty sure I have an action set up in PSE to do 800x533 so will probably either go for that or do the few to 1000x? by hand. Only got 7 that she wants done and even I can cope with that many!
 
I should have added that the snaps are purely as an eye grabber for updates on her regular class timetable rather than for "photosharing" purposes.
 
Facebook recommends 2048 on longest side for high quality
