Joanna got me thinking with her question last week. My boss got married last year and I was not invited to his wedding. I had only been working there for him for about 10 months. Now I am wondering if I should invite him to mine, since by the time I get married I will have been working for him for 2 and a half years. Also, I want to invite a couple people I am friends with at work and don't want him to be insulted if I don't invite him. I know its early to think about this but its been on my mind. What do you think?

Re: Inviting people from work
I have been working in my department for 3 years it will be 5 at the time of the wedding and they are like my 2nd family since I probably see them more then my own so I am inviting them all its like 11 in all if they dont come thats fine but i am offering the invitation to them. It is totally up to you thought you might want to put your boss on the B or C list in case someone more important doesnt respond yes.

Re: Inviting people from work
my dept is 8 girls including my boss and i am only inviting 3 of them. i cant take some of the girls i work with...so immature and dumb. most of them started working there after me anyway so im really ony inviting the women that were there when i started. i'm closer to them.
and as for feeling bad....i think they will know why they arent invited...we talk work stuff but on a personal level we would never be friends outside of work

Re: Inviting people from work
I work at a smaller school- but there is no way that I can invite everyone...The people who I am close to are getting invited- but I think everyone else will understand. Most people that have asked me know that we are on a budget...except for my Assistant Principal who was like when should I expect my invitation??? I wasnt planning on inviting him- but i guess I am now!

Re: Inviting people from work
my principal and asst. principal never show up to weddings that they are invited to. So i honestly don't think i wil be inviting them even though I will be inviting plenty of friends from work

Re: Inviting people from work
I work with 35 people at one job daily and 7 at my second job, all of them have spouses...There is no possible way I can invite them all. I will inviting the people that I get along with best and wont talk trash about what I do at my wedding!! (So that leaves me with maybe 15 people in total!!)

You are right! I just looked it up and it says...
'Should you invite your colleagues to a wedding? I'm firmly against it unless they happen to be friends. It's a personal event. It's a burden on people who really don't care about you personally. I may like you perfectly well as a co-worker, but I have never thought enough about you to have any interest in whether you're happily in love or not.'
Thanks.. hmm I need to think about this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm inviting my 4 closest friends from work & maybe 2-3 from the office that I am really friendly with. I just remembered reading it awhile ago

Re: Inviting people from work
I am trying to avoid the whole inviting people from work thing by just not inviting anyone (I work in a department of about 30 people), and I figure if I invite one or two - then I would have to invite all....
