Invite my bosses?

maunster

Hi Everyone,
So I was recently promoted and have 2 new bosses.  I already invited my old boss (who I still work with somewhat) through the save the date, and I feel like I should invite my 2 new bosses as well.  But, by inviting them, I would have to invite 2 of the other directors in my department because otherwise I would feel rude.  I already have WAY too many people invited and I would be adding 6 people by inviting all of them.  Is it rude if I don't invite my new bosses? 
Help me!!!

There is no obligation to invite bosses or co-workers to your wedding.  I wouldn't invite them and I wouldn't worry about it.

No, it's not rude to not invite them.  But I do agree that you should probably invite all 4 if you do invite them.  I think the old boss alone would be ok since you've had a longer standing relationship with him/her.

Agree w/ Stack...inviting the new boss isn't as meaningful to  you or the new bosses, kind of just an 'obligatory' feeling thing. I'm sure they won't be offended or surprised that you're inviting your previous boss but not the new.

I know how you feel because I have the tendency to want to invite everyone i know!  Which we practically are but my fiance has a job that requires he know a lot of people.  Anyway if I had already began paying on things and making definite plans and the wedding was fast approaching I wouldn't invite them, if they ask I'd just explain that things were already being paid for and determined.  I had to read this post btw because I'm thinking if I didn't invite my boss it would be really bad....he's my grandad!  ha ha!

I totally understand how you feel but also agree with everyone else- you are under no obligation to invite coworkers and/or bosses.  I had to make the same decision too.  I would have loved to invite the girls I work with but can't because we are keeping the list under 100.  I wondered if I should invite my boss but decided against it.  We are just keeping it family and friends.

I'm kind of stuck with this too, I work at an elementary school as a teacher's aid. I'm not sure whether to invite the two teachers that I work with or not. By the time I get married I will have worked for them for a year and a half, and we always talk about the wedding. I guess I just feel like they wouldn't fit in; the only people they would know at the wedding is eachother and they're about 30-40 years older than me.
