Inviting Coworkers at the Last Minute

my rsvp date has passed. now that i know the room wont be busting at the seems, i want to invite 2 of my coworkers that i have become closer with. one of them already knows this because i asked her if she thought it would be rude and she said no it was fine. the other one i havent spoken to yet. i am just going to bring two invites in for them. question is, do i include the RSVP card at all considering the date was Aug 5th or do I jsut give them the invite without the card?? if i do that when do i tell them i need to know by (obviously its ASAP lol)?
TIA

it's totally fine. If they're close to you, I'm sure they understand.

I think you should give them the invitation without the response card and tell them, 'just let me know as soon as you can, I really hope you can come!' something to that effect.

They'd definitely understand. My husband (eee! ) did this with several people at his job and they were all excited to be invited, regardless of how late it was. They responded pretty quickly. I say go for it!

I think its fine...I wouldnt include the rsvp card though. Tell them you miscalculated or something and that you dont have any more rsvp cards and then tell them that you would love it if they could come and they can give you an answer by whatever date you absolutely need it by....

I agree with the other brides-- You should leave out the rsvp cards.

I'd give them everything - they'll understand and probably tell you in person anyway...

My boss just did the same thing for her wedding, Once she realized she had space, she asked 2 coworkers. She handed them an invite. They were happy to accept. I think coworkers, more than anyone, understand this.

I would include the RSVP......my date was over a week ago, I just gave 2 co-workers invites on Monday- and told them that I had to see how many no's I received before I could invite people from work. they were so excited to get an invite!!! and they rsvp'd within 1 day!!!

I'd leave the RSVP out -- just be honest with them.

I think that's fine, do not include the RSVP card if it has the date that's passed on it, that will just point out that they are major B list guests. Just hand it to them and say please just let me know ASAP, since it's a casual invite, there should be no problem with an informal RSVP.
