After reading a post on etiquettehell.com, I now have a question about a sitaution that may pertain to myself and want to know the proper and best way to handle it. In the post, the writer mentioned his/her workplace hosted a shower for two co-workers that were getting married. The poster then went on to say that no thank cards were sent afterwards (fail) but also that no one received any invitations to the wedding. The no invitations part is where I'm hung up. FI and I have already been backed in to a corner once and made concessions over our guest list (we had wanted a very intimate wedding, > 30 people, as I've mentioned a couple times on here - now we're back to inviting ALL of his family and mine due to family concerns and his parents not wanting to explain why their siblings weren't invited - whatever, we've worked it out and it's fine and luckily is family is all very, very sweet and excited to come). I work in a department with all women and there is a chance they may throw a shower for me. I know that I am under no obligation to invite them and I've only worked here 6 months, but is the poster from the original article wrong in assuming that the co-workers should have invited them all to their wedding simply because they had a work place shower thrown for them? The rest of the post had much more, including a baby shower for said couple and a whole lot of etiquette fails on the part of the wife but I'm mainly concerned about the inviting co-workers aspect.
