Invite or not to invite co-workers

getintheboxx

I work at a small company, 11 people including myself and the owners.

There are 2 people I actually like.  There are 2 others that are ok, but are really negative about anything I have to say regarding the house I'm building and wedding. The others consist of people that are snobs, think I'm poor because I live south of 696, and I can go weeks not speaking a word to them until they need me to do something for them. 

The 2 people that have been really supportive and interested in everything I want to be there.  So do I just invite them and tell them to be discreet?  Or invite no one from work?  I know if I invite everyone it will be a waste of money/paper/etc because I know they wouldn't dare to venture downriver.

Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.  Thanks!!

It's your wedding.  Sounds like the people you don't want to invite are going to snear and judge you either way - so I say don't invite them.  If they think you're poor...they might actually understand without explanation.  While it's really none of their business...If you prefer to let them know that they aren't invited - it's an easy thing to do.  Simply say space is limited.  Let them snicker all they want - they will be the last thing on your mind on your big day.  Only invite those who are supportive...or those who you know won't come but will send a check in their stead.

Good luck!

I would definitely invite those people that you DO want there. Be sure to mail the invitations to their home and keep the wedding talk to a minimum at work! Meaning, if someone brings it up, answer vaguely and change the subject!

Good luck!

Ditto what Bailey said. Send invitations to their home. I have a feeling that if certain people are being Negative Nancy about things like this, they won't care that they're not invited!

Agreed with what PPs said. Sorry about non-friendly coworkers!

I would invite the two people you talk to and like, forget the other people. I wouldn't give your co-workes you're inviting their invitations at work, but beyond that you're allowed to invite whoever you want.

Thanks Ladies!!

I appreciate your honest advice.  I will be inviting just the 2 people and everyone else will just miss out on a good time.

I have the same situation at work. What I'm doing is inviting the 2 people and the what Terry and I are doing are doing a open invite after dinner for all our other work people. Just because we can;t afford everyone for dinner.
