Who to invite from work?

Who do you invite from work?? There are people I work with every day and then there are the bosses and then other people in other departments. Do I Invite only the people I work with and the bosses or everyone?? I am so confused about this.

I am so confused because at one point in time..FH and I worked in the same office. Everyone was really close to us at work, and then no one knew....so when I got engaged everyone was like WHAT....lol but they were happy...and tons of girls at my job are helping me...lol

Some people actually told me they better be invited! We are definatley going to invite some in the second mailing.

But my advice is to definatley invite your boss and those who you work with directly

are we obligated to invite our bosses? i think we would feel very uncomfortable knowing they were there. i dont think we will invite coworkers because this could increase our guest list by 30%!

You dont have to invite them, your not obligated to., and I think many co-workers understand I f you dont invite them., but for me Im kinda close to the people I work with., its like a family and we hang out outside of work.

You do not need to invite work people. The only people I invite from work are people who I'm friendly with outside of work.

well funny thing, FH and i met at work (our old jobs) and it was an office romance so a lot of those people were invited to our eparty and will be invited to our wedding.

but i will be starting a brand new job (hopefully) in july. and FH works in sanitation so chances are we will not invite anyone from work.

and if we do it will be only people we are close with.
weddings are too much $$ to invite people that you work with. id rather have more family and friends there.

FH and I work together...but we're not inviting anyone from the office to the wedding...it'd be hard to invite some but not all...so we're just inviting none It makes things easier...

FH works in a bank... about 6-8 others including upper manangement... hes inviting all and hoping liek the other 'office weddings' only 4 will show. (3 of his co workers were married last summer and that was the outcome)

for me.. i work in a larg store about 20 other staff...

i am only inviting uppermanagement, about 6-7
it woudl become a gossip fiasco if other workers were invited, and drinking and dancing... too much drama...

Re: Who to invite from work?

yeah, i am having a hard time with this as well. i definately know i am inviting people in my direct dept. b/c i feel pretty close with all of them in one way or another and i really want them to be there. there is another dept. within my dept. who i work closely with....but....i dont really feel that close with anyone in that dept. and i dont think any of them would expect to be invited. so i dont plan on iviting them. they would just be happy to see the pictures when i get back. BUT....the problem is....there are a few 'assistants' who work for both my dept. and the other dept. that are always with us. a few of them are very touchy about things like this and i KNOW they would be offended if i didnt invite them. which to me is very childish b/c it's not like i hang out with them outside of work or anything. and some of them i honestly cant stand although they do not know it i am sure. so i am so torn as to whether i should invite them. i feel like if i dont they wont want to talk to me (which, like i said is ridiculous but they are like that) ...but at the same time i dont want to invite them just for that reason! if i DO invite them i dont want to have them bring guests b/c that just adds on more ppl who i dont know.....but.....the ppl. in my dept. i want to invite with guests....so i know that will then cause drama. (they will prob say....'oh, so why did u invite THEM with guests and not us').....either way i lose! people are so ridicuous sometimes, i wish they would just be understanding and not make things so difficult. if you are following me here...any suggestions or thoughts??

Re: Who to invite from work?

by the way...to answer your question...i am inviting my direct boss (supervisor of my direct dept)....but not the over head of the full dept.

Re: Who to invite from work?

Right now I am a manager of a department so I am inviting my boss and his wife, my co-manager and her husband, and probably about 6 or 7 others that I am pretty close to....but as people leave the company, they are cut from the list! haha, I know its horrible, but I have already cut 3 people + dates!

We decided not to invite anyone from the office. We are already above our desired guest list and just can not afford to invite more people.

Re: Who to invite from work?

we are both inviting people from work. I am inviting the 2 head bosses and my supervisor and 4 women I am friends with. FH is inviting a few more than that. We're not going crazy with it though

Re: Who to invite from work?

my department is really small, it's only seven of us management included. So I am inviting everyone.

Only invite whomever you are close to. Everyone cant expect to be invited. Are you inviting w/guest? then thats double.

I work in an open office...12 women (yikes) in one big open room, some I like some i dont, and I am NOT inviting everyone....people will have to get over it.

Re: Who to invite from work?

personally, i will only be inviting one teacher I work with. We car pool togheter and are really close.

Ive said in another thread, I dont feel comfortable inviting principals.. or bosses. I feel my private life is mine and I dnt want to feel like I need to be making a good impression.

Co workers you see frequently or are friendly with..your immediate supervisor (there is no need to go further up unless you are very friendly with them and talk to them on a regular basis)
