So, if someone from work...whom you aren't that 'in love with' but have to deal with all the time buys you something... (in this case: The Worst Case Scenario Survivial Series Book about Weddings) .... .... .... ..
does this mean I have to invite him!??
I was so shocked that he would go out of his way. Middle-Aged guy, no way this was a 're-gift' - I already have it, but still. He saw it and thought of me.......
Am I misreading our level of 'dislike'? Could it be that he actually doesn't want to throw me out of the six-floor window?
What's a girl to do? I can't invite all these people!

Yikes, that is a tough spot but remember something, you have a budget & a max on how many people you can invite...Some people will understand this & others won't!
In my opinion, bc he gave you a gift does not mean you need to invite him

Re: Now What Do I Do???
the office staff where i work got us an e-gift, but we cant afford to invite them and their husbands to the wedding... they are lovely ladies and i wish we could invite them...
just b/c someone gives u a gift doesnt mean u have to invite them.. politely say thank you and leave it at that!

Leese, just bc this guy gave you a gift by no means obligates you to have to invite him!! Just send him a nice TY card and leave it at that, don't make an issue out of something that isn't there.

I don't think you have to invite him either! Maybe just give him a thank you card!

It seems like it was definitely his PEACE offering! I don't think it's necessary to invite him unless you're inviting EVERYONE else in the office. Play it by ear and see how he interacts with you from now on.

Since I have no idea about the book... I'm asuming he doesn't either.... does he think it is about Horror stories of a wedding and is kind of twisting it to rub on you some how? Do you get what I mean?

I have a guy at work that I have a smiliar relationship with. He gave me a birthday gift. I was shocked!!! It still hasnt changed the relationship though and he wont be invited to the wedding

I think just because he chose to give you a gift, it certainly does not mean you have to invite him. In my office, not everyone is being invited to our wedding. I just don't talk about the wedding planning at work but they all know we're having a smallish wedding so no one will be surprised if they don't receive an invite.

Good call.
I was in a similar situation with my Boss - ugh. Now I don't have to worry b/c he got fired today. I actually feel horrible for him!
