People not invited...annoying

demarcosjd

I just heard that a few people in my office aren't exactly happy with my decision of who we invited to the wedding from the office. I decided to only invite my immediate bosses. I work in a smaller office but it's not like there is only 4 of us. These aren't people I hang out with after work, I haven't been at the company for years and years and everyone knew we were on a budget. They also just let someone go on Friday which made me think it was a good thing we didn't invite everyone so there wouldn't be any awkward situations.
Would you send out an email individually saying something along the lines we wish we were able to invite everyone but we are on a budget ect. or should I just let it go?

Let it go, its your perrogative who to invite, you don't need to explain it... My FI is getting "Still waiting for my invitation...." This is his 1st year there, and it would mean a whole other table of invites...

Let it go. If they ask you directly you can say that, but I wouldn't open up the can of worms.

I would just leave it.

No, don't send an e-mail. Don't address it at all.

How did everyone find out about who was invited?

I say let it go. If someone specifically asks you then I would tell them why but I wouldn't send an email.

Thanks ladies. I will leave it alone, you're right. My intensions weren't to offend anyone but it just baffles me that someone can says it's rude to not invite the entire office.

mcb, I'm really not sure. It had to be one of my bosses. This is what I'm thinking. We sent our invites out and after that time one of the guys got promoted to "Director". I think some how someone asked him if he was invited. Then word spread around.

Ugh. That sucks that they opened their mouth like that.

i let the people that i invited  in the office know that not everyone was invited even within my department.... ( i work in an office of 70 and i invited 6 people) .... i don't want anyones feelings hurt so I asked them nicely to not chat about it unless it was general wedding stuff.

I also only invited the immediate people I work with, I can't afford to invite another 20 people that work within my department. FI on the other hand invited everyone, and just called me to tell me his boss said he didn't get the invitation...right, I'm sure his wife saw it in the mail and had no idea who it was from so she put it aside and forgot about it. I'm praying for at least 30 declines.....I wish people would understand that there is money involved and you can't just invite everyone you know.

Let it go.  It is wrong of them to make you feel bad.  Everyone has to make decisions regarding who they are inviting to their wedding.

Yeah, they can't expect you to invite people you barely speak to. Your paying for them so don't feel bad. Your wedding should be attended by people you want to party with on this special occassion.

Good Luck Hun!
