Small Office

Okay, I know this sounds bad...but do I have to invite everyone I work with ?? I work in a small office of  6-8 people..and I am NOT really close with any of them; I understand inviting my boss...but everyone? Even the people who are not full time in the office...and their spouses....come on? I am trying to throw an elegant wedding on a tight budget and these extra 12-16 people will require me to cut details I'm actually interested in...like  a Wedding cake.
Thoughts?

Re: Small Office

  • If you don't spend time with them outside the office, then you don't have to invite them.

    I work in a small office of 4 (including myself) and I only hang out with 1 coworker so I only invited her and her bf.

  • No, you don't HAVE to invite anyone from work. We stuck to friends we hang out with outside of work. And all with significant others, of course.

    If someone asks (and only if they ask), just say that you're keeping it small.
  • If you are going to invite your boss, JUST invite your boss.  Don't invite anyone else from the office, otherwise you could create bad feelings.  Just stick with your boss, and people will understand.

  • I would invite the boss and anyone else you're close to
  • I only invited people from work that I actually socialize with outside company planned events.  My H invited a bunch of people from work.  Either way works, so long as you're consistent with it.

  • You don't even have to invite your boss.

  • Ditto PPs.

    If you're not close to anyone from work you needn't invite them. You're not even obligated to invite your boss if you don't want to. We didn't invite any co-workers/bosses, and it was fine.
