Seriously, WWYD?

A co-worker you don't really know (because she's a hypochondriac) is coming back to work after being off for over 9 months. Your guestlist is finalized, your invites are done, addressed, and ready to be sent out a week after her return to work date. She is not on the guestlist, but all of your other co-workers are (well, the ones you work closest with in the office). Everyone speculates that she will only last about 2 weeks until she takes another sick leave.Do you feel bad and ammend your guestlist, MAKE an invitation for her (because you already used all of the ones you made), and invite her (even though your other co-workers - who got married and invited her last year - say she'll RSVP yes and then not show up)... OR do you just let it go, send out the invites and shrug it off? Keep in mind, the two girls who got married last year sent out their invites 4 weeks after I started in the department and didn't invite me, and I was fine with that. Other option, I could send out the invites a couple weeks early?

    I probably just wouldn't invite her, but I didn't have any coworkers to invite so I never had to actually make the decision.

  • No invitation and don't worry about it. It's not like you are inviting the entire office and not her- you are only inviting your close co-workers. If you are really concerned about, maybe you can pull aside those who ARE invited and say you'd like to keep the in office wedding convos to a minimum since you can't accomodate inviting everyone in the office.
  • I wouldn't invite her.  I work in an office with 5 people (including me).  There's one guy that no one likes b/c he's a jerk.  I didn't invite him, but I invited the other 3.
  • Don't invite her.  She wouldn't expect you to anyway.

  • all of your other co-workers are (well, the ones you work closest with in the office). I'm a little confused.  Are they all invited or not?  If you're only inviting the ones you know well, then there's no dilemma.  If you're inviting every single person at your work place except her... then you may want to extend the invite out of courtesy.  (I think you could certainly delay it a bit since she'll only just be back when they go out...)
  • I wouldn't invite her. You don't know her well and she probably wouldn't expect to be invited anyway.
  • Sorry sickie no invite for you!
  • I would invite her just to cover my butt, and assume that, like all the other weddings, she won't come or care.
