New coworkers????

I began a new job three weeks ago and am now wondering what I should do regarding inviting my new coworkers.  My wedding is October 29 and so most of our guest list was done before I started my new job.  There's about 25 people in my office, so there's no way I can invite all of them.  However, there are 4 ladies who work in my department, that I see the most - would it be bad form to just invite my department and explain to anyone else who asks that I had limited space left??

  • I don't think you have to invite your co-workers unless you are close with them, meaning that you socialize outside of work with them, especially since you only met them 3 weeks ago.  And I don't think you need to explain anything to anyone.

    I started a job 5 months before my wedding and had my guest list already set for the most part. I did not invite any of my new co-workers. They threw me a work "wedding" party the week before the wedding and everyone pitched in for a cake and gift card for us. It was really nice of them, and I don't think any of them thought badly because they weren't invited, they all understood.

  • My old boss and my newer boss got married (not to each other, just been at the same place for 14 years today! )  and none of us were invited, and I think that is the way it should be weather it's a boss or a co-worker. You get paid to do your job, doesn't mean just because they pay you for a service you have to invite them to an important part of your personal life.

    We were invited to BBQ gathering about a month after one of the weddings and we all enjoyed ourselves, and we don't hold anything against the other boss who kept hers very private, we respected both.
