Co-Worker Guest List Issue

So.. in lieu of us talking about guest lists... let's dicuss the co-worker situation..

So here's my siuation.

As it stands now, I am inviting my 2 bosses and 6 assistants (all of whom I am very close with).

Now my dilemma... since all the cutbacks here I am have had to take on another president (pretty much answering her phone, running reports for her and such... pretty much acting as her assistant even though I don't get paid any extra... it b l o w s I know. I'm not even officially listed as her assistant in our system). So I've been her 'assistant' for about 6-7 months now. She's been very nice to me. She'll buy me lunch every now and then if when I go I pick her up something too. She even gave me a little something for Christmas last year as a thank you.

Now as far as the wedding, do you think I should be inviting her? I never thought about it until recently, but I feel that if I invite all these other people and don't invite her it might be a little weird. Honestly, even if invited I don't think she'd come, but what do you girls think? Should I add her to the list?

It's like the 'co-worker snowball effect', you invite one, you feel like you gotta invite the rest!

FH is having some issues w/ this - he is a teacher, and his grade level is pretty big - so he isnt sure who to invite and not. Even his dad is having this issue w/ his co-workers.

But for your situation - I feel you have to invite the new president you are working with. You work so closely with her now - and by the time the wedding comes, you would have been working w/ her for even longer. Like you said - she may not come - but I think its good to extend the invite.

And if she's invited - she will give you a gift and that could kind of make up for you not getting paid more for doing extra work for her lol

yeah I definitely wasn't going to send her an STD. That's just like sealing the deal and then I'm stuck.

I know that her former assistant who had worked for her about 3 years invited her to the wedding after she was moved to a different department, and she didn't go to the wedding.

true true lol

if I were you I would probably invite her to the wedding because you have been working with her for a while and you are kinda close to her bc of your job...
I also have an issue with co-workers being invited. I work with special needs children at their houses and I am close to a few families I eat dinner there go to the bday parties and stuff so I want to invite the parents of some families but not others bc I work with so many families I can not invite them all.

I think that between now and 2011 the co-worker situation will change a lot. The economy still really isn't that good and companies have so much turnover. I may be naive, but I am going to try to put off worrying about this until about 6 months before.
