invites-small workplace

danzers02

I work in an office of 12 people.  We our spilt into two  invited "my side".  An employee on the other side is already invited because her and her husband are family friends.  Do I invite the rest of that side, even if i can't control who their plus ones will be.  (I've heard about previous invites from a co worker).  Don't care to invite 2 people.  All or nothing? Not sure what to do.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

You don't have to give them plus ones (unless they are in a committed relationship). I personally wouldn't invite the rest, unless I was close to the others in the other unit. For example, do you get drinks or go out with them? However, if I thought that not inviting them would make them feel singled out, then I would invite them not to hurt feelings.

I dont even understand what this means.  I think you mean "are" instead of "our" but even after that, I am scratching my head.  Do you mean, "We <strong>are</strong> split into two.  <strong>I invited</strong> "my side"?

Invite only those coworkers with whom you have relationships outside of work.  You aren't obligated to invite all or none. 

Avoid talking about the wedding at the office and no one will feel snubbed.
