Guest list...

So I showed my admin the STD's we just got in and she said those are great is this for me? I wasn't planning on inviting any of my employees, somethings I just don't want to share. I feel that work and social life should be kept separate. I'm the boss after all, they don't need to see me or my friends and family drinking ect. I said no, we aren't mailing them out yet, we are waiting till about 6 months. And that's the truth....Now, I'm stuck as to what to do....If I were to invite folks from work she would be one of the few that I would invite but I still wasn't planning on it...ugh....What do you all think?

You should have never shown them to her or anyone else that you weren't planning on inviting.  That is just rude....especially for someone that thinks work and social life should be kept separate, except for your wedding apparently.  Nothing you can do about it now really, but you have to have some sort of idea that she, along with the rest of your co-workers know probably assume they are invited.  Also, it doesn't matter that you are her boss.  I was the boss and invited my entire office, big deal on what my "title" is.  With that said, I would say invite her, but now you open yourself up for the rest of the office being invited.  The only way you could possibly get away with not inviting her is by explaining that you are trying to keep it small, but she could easily dismiss that theory seeing as how have showed her the stack of STD's in your hand.  All in all, I have no good advice to offer, except to not do this again.

I only invited two friends from work (we're the only 3 girls here around our age so we kind of clicked), and I partially did that because I wanted to talk freely about wedding stuff while at work with them. But I kept my mouth shut around anyone else at work. If they asked, I brushed it off with a simple sentence.
