Who to invite from work?

I work in a place that has various departments, in my department there is a staff full of 6 other women. Two of them I know their husbands, so I was going to invite them plus their husbands to the wedding, 2 of them I don't know their husbands, so I am not sure if I should invite the husbands? They are also much older than the rest of us.

And one of the remaining two did not invite me to her wedding, and I am not close with her at all, not sure if I should invite her?

And lastly, the other woman never celebrates any of our holidays, doesn't contribute to office gifts, not sure if I should invite her as well.

I feel like I have to invite all or none. I would really prefer not to invite the last two and not to include the other 2 ladies husbands, but I am not sure what the proper etiquette is.

Who to invite from work?

I know for me, I am only inviting those people who I consider friends as well as members of my 'team' at work. I am very close with a group of girls at work, so I will invite them but currently they are single so I do not plan on inviting them with guests (unless between now and a year from now when I send invites they start dating someone seriously). I am going to invite my bosses and their SO's but only because I am close with them

Re: Who to invite from work?

I agree. I am only inviting those from work that I am very close with. I am also inviting both my boss's and their wives

Who to invite from work?

I am keeping my work invites to a minimum. I am inviting 4 women that I work closely with, 2 are married, so their husbands are invited with them, and my boss...my mom says if I invite people from work, I have to invite him...damn etiquette, I would rather not invite him lol. I also have another friend here, that I was friends with before he came to work here, so he's on the list too. There are a few people from another dept I would love to invite, but we are already pushing it with the guest list.

Who to invite from work?

I plan to invite maybe 3 people from work, my boss and two other co-workers. One of which I kind of know outside of work. My guest list is already low (I don't think I have more than 25 people on my list), so adding more people is no issue for me.

We went with all and spouses. If you have a good enough reason to not invite them, they probably have a good enough reason to say no. I kept having a battle w myself whether or not to invite my colleagues from NC...well I sent them all an invite and left them the obligation of dealing with the awkwardness of saying no!

Who to invite from work?

I work in 2 schools, and in one school I'm only inviting my department. In the other school, I work in a completely different department with about 10 people. I was invited to one of my coworkers wedding, which I'm not sure why because she tries to get my in trouble on a regular basis. I'm only inviting 2 or 3 of the people I am close with, and asking them to respect the fact that they are the only ones invited and not discuss it at work. I'm having a super small wedding and I don't want people there whom aren't nice to me during the work week, regardless of the size of my department. Everyone who is married or in a long term relationship will get a plus one. I felt horrible when I was invited to my coworkers wedding and I didn't get a guest after we had been together so long.

This!

Who to invite from work?

I'm actually not inviting any of them. I'm not so super close with them that if I stopped working there I'd still be friends with them so I don't want people at that wedding that aren't here to stay.

Who to invite from work?

I'm having the same issue! I work with a good amount of people in my department, but I'm not close with everyone/see them everyday. I only want to invite my boss and others that I'm closer with but then I feel guilty..soooo I might have the others on a 'b' list..that probably sounds bad but my guest list is already so high!

Who to invite from work?

The department I work in is not cohesive at all so I only invited my boss and one person from the dept who I am very close with outside of work. Being in healthcare, it was tough to keep the work invite list low but I managed by only inviting people I felt closest to

I'd only invite the 4 ladies and ALL husbands! Think about it, if roles were reversed would you be insulted if your husband wasn't invited to a wedding and you were? I know, I would. Plus if you don't invite all husbands then the 2 ladies you'd send an invitation to Mrs. John Doe???

I have been teaching in the same school for 10 years so I am very close with a lot of people. Anyone who is married I did invite with their husband.
