co-worker invites..please HELP!

mmebus00

There are a lot of co-workers that I am close with where I work but there are also others that I DO NOT want to invite to my wedding at all. There is only a few people who I do not want to invite so how should I go about doing this without people getting mad because I still have to work with the people who aren't invited I just don't want them to come. I am not going to go down the route of not inviting anyone at all from work becuase of a few people I don't want there.  Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with this? THX =]

Jimminy, that was run on!

You aren't required to invite everyone, so only invite those who you want there.  I imagine that the people you are inviting are people you spend time with, and those who aren't invited, haven't been a part of your life outside of the professional capacity anyway!

Invite who you want.  Send the invitations to their homes so it won't be discussed at work.  Maybe when you ask for addresses, you can mention that you aren't inviting everyone from work and to please not discuss it at work.

I am not inviting anyone from work . A fellow coworker told me to invite everyone or noone~

I am personally not inviting any of them because when I invite one it justifies five others, which justifies five others, add in their spouses many of whom I've never met, and so on and so forth. So in my case, it was easier for me to say "nobody from work is invited". Our space is limited at the reception site, as is our budget, so we have that excuse as well. I haven't actually told this to many people yet, so I think some people might think they are invited, but my wedding is in November so we've got time.

I heard the rule of thumb on this is if you have their personal phone number and you use it on at least a semi-regular basis, then you invite them, but if not, you don't. In my case, all my personal work friends work in a different department (at my very large company), but my coworkers whom I see every day, I don't interact with any of them on a social basis, so I'm not inviting them.

invite whomever you want. if you aren't close with them they probably wont care.  i would just send the invites to their house and not give them out at work.  i am only inviting a handful of people from work.
