STD's questions

I'm having trouble reconciling how to give STD's to people I work with. I'm inviting a small handful of people that I have become very friendly with over the past 4 years. My dilemma is how do I give them the STD without their addresses. 

1)I was thinking of putting the STD in an envelope (our are actually postcards) with their name on it and leaving it at their desks. I'm normally the first one in the office in the morning. What do you think? 

2) I also had another thought about the STD's because I live 93 miles from the office. So anyone that was to plan on coming would have at least an hour and half drive to the ceremony. So should I include a note saying, "I hope you can make our special day. If not we understand."?

Thanks!

Re: STD's questions

  • Ask for addresses, you will need them for the actual invite anyway so you may as well get them now.  Passing out STDs or invites at work is just asking for issues to arise.

    Do not put any note with the STD?  Are you doing this for any other STD you are sending out?  No, so why the need to put that in the one's you are sending to your co-workers.  If they want to make the drive they will, if not they will decline the invite once you send them.

  • I would not even send an STD to co-workers.      When you send an STD you have to still invite them to the wedding.  Things happens at work and in life in general.    Not sending them and STD gives you wiggle room later if something happens. 

    You can still send an invite for the wedding without give an STD.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated. 
  • Thank you for the help.
