Invite my boss???

MichKev2012

I started my job in early November.  My FI proposed in mid December.  We are getting married at the end of October.  Since November I have become very close with my direct supervisor, and 1 particular co-worker.  I don't want to add any more people to our invite list and we are just about ready to send them out.  Should I invite my supervisor and my co-worker, just my supervisor, my supervisor and our big boss, or no one from work???   We sent save the dates out a while ago, but I didn't include anyone from work because we weren't that close at the time.  Is it okay to send someone an invite if they didn't get a save the date?

I work for a small business and only invited my superiors. I think it depends on the workplace. I am not close with them outside of work but invited them as a courtesy since they are being accommodating with me taking time off.

I work in a small xray department, which is part of a large outpatient facility.  I only have two coworkers whom I work with on a day-t- day basis.  We have grown very close and, although we do not hang out outside of the work setting, I care for them both and they are dear to me.  I am inviting them both, but no one else. 

I think at the end of the day, you should only invite whom you want at the wedding...obligations shouldn't go past family, in my opinion.  But, having said that, if you are going to invite only certain people, it would probably be best to keep the wedding conversations to a minimum at work, especially among those who are not invited.  And expect others to ask if they will be invited, as some people always wind up doing.  Be prepared with a PC answer that doesn't offend anyone.

I typically do not spend time with them outside of work.  There is only 2 instances that we have spent time together in a nonworkish setting.
1.  A hockey game our office lawyers invited our organization to.
2.  A taco tour in the city we work in.  I was only there for an hour and there was a big group of us.

I am feeling guilty about not inviting them, but I really don't feel comfortable adding anymore people to our guest list.  If I did invite them, their spouses would be invited as well.

[QUOTE]In Response to Invite my boss??? : A good rule is to invited only the people you socialize with outside of work.  Do you hang out with these people during non-work hours? If you do invite them, make sure to invite spouses/SOs.  A social unit must be invited together.
