I am an Associate in a 10 attorney firm in MA...I have been there for almost a year now.
I am wondering who to invite to my wedding...I really need to cut people. There is one associate I am friendly with (we hang out outside of work on occasion, go to lunch together, etc.)
There are 4 partners...all married...so that would be 8 people...and then there are only 3 other associates that would not be invited (plus their dates, husbands and long-term boyfriend)....one of those associates works in another office and I never see her...
Who would you invite? Or what did you do?
Also, they are in MA and the wedding is in NY...but they did attend a former associate's wedding in CT....
Any advice is appreciated!!!

I would invite everyone - they can make a table. I know how expensive it is, but for work's sake I would just bite the bullet. They might not be able to attend.

I would invite them all. I invited everyone in my class year at my firm. There were probably 3 or 4 out out 15 that I was unsure about but I'd rather invite everyone in that kind of situation.

Re: Question for all the Attorneys
Hi--I've mostly had government jobs but when I did work at a firm the support staff seemed to take offense when they were excluded from events. So, I'd be careful about inviting attorneys only.
I'm a sole practitioner now and I am even worried about what to do with former co-workers and the Admin. Law Judges that I used to work for.!

Re: Question for all the Attorneys
I invited my entire department (firm too big)... But the department was about 11 people. I know it's a lot when you invite them plus their SOs, but I bet you most won't even come. In any event, it's probably the 'right' thing to do - at least in my law firm it is!
Good luck!

We invited all of the partners and all of the associates. Obviously, their dates were invited as well. There were 32 people, but 8 did not come for various reasons.

Re: Question for all the Attorneys
I would invite all of them. I am now in-house at a corporation so I am inviting my whole practice group (4 other attorneys), the two assistants, my mentor attorney and my boss' boss (who always inquires about my wedding). It's a total of 16 people but I would not do it any other way. Some suggested that I shouldn't invite the assistants but I thought that would be very rude, particularly given the size of my group.
In the long run, it will be worth it.

I work in a large firm in Long Island and I am inviting the partners and associates in my department plus my office manager. I just cant see doing it any other way.
