Another co-worker post

Both FI and I met and worked at the same company. We have been there for 6 years. I left 2 months ago to pursue other opportunities. During the time I was still there, just about everyone asked us about being invited to the wedding. We tried not to make promises to too many people, only people we really know we wanted to invite.

But now FI is nervous because we will be sending out invitations soon and not everyone from work will be invited. I'm not so concerned because I'm not there, but I do sympathize for him.

Our wedding will have a no children rule unless in the WP. The reception site is pretty decent size but we would like to keep it romantic. We both also understand that not everyone in our family will be able to attend because of this.

I still don't want to make any promises to people, but if someone were to ask about not being invited, what should he say?

Thanks for your help in advance!

I'd just tell them that due to the size of your venue, you had to limit your guest list. I would also have him mention to the people that are invited to keep it quiet, so nobody really knows who was invited and who wasn't.

"I'm so sorry, but due to space/budget/whatever limitations we were unfortunately not able to invite everyone we wanted to."

It's hard when some coworkers are invited and others not - he should discretly ask those invited not to mention it at work. I only invited 3 coworkers and I let each one know that most were not invited and they have all agreed and be great about not mentioning their invites.

"We're so flattered that you're interested in our wedding, however due to budget/venue space concerns/whatever we had to make some tough choices."

Then talk about bean dip.
