Inviting anyone from work?

morenachica110 · March 2012

So I'm at a crossroads with this. I started a new job back in Nov and love it to death. I work with mostly women so I know feelings might get hurt easily. In saying that, there's one particular girl that I really get along with well. We always have so much fun and she's become a good friend quickly.

I've considered inviting her to the wedding. I know the general thought on if I should invite them or not is that if you hang out outside of work and consider yourselves friends, then there shouldn't be a problem. We would hang out outside of work, but we both have so much going on that's there's really no time. I'd be comfortable inviting her anyway, buuuuut.... there's a million other women where I work that might get their feelings hurt. And I can't invite 20 other people and their SO.

Thoughts?

I'm for sure inviting one (sent her a STD) & her H; would like to add a few more, as would fi. We'll play it by ear when it comes time to send invitations. We're just keeping it fairly quiet; I don't talk about the fact that I've sent her a STD or anything in front of others. One gal kinda strongly hinted that she should be invited.

I just sort of ignored it.

I am only inviting my boss and his partner. There is one gal whom I am very close to that I work with who is one of my BMs. We don't hang out outside of work either but at work we are really close. The problem I have is that I work for a small company and my group is only six including my boss and the BM coworker. I've decided to just say that the wedding is very small and we have limited our guest list to family and long time family friends only. My boss and coworker are going to be told to keep their mouths shut. LOL!

I started a new job the beginning of feb. Im not going to invite anyone from the new job. I told them that its hard to pick and choose who to invite, I dont want to hurt any feelings, AND most importantly, I am on a budget. They all understood and had no hard feelings

I have worked at my job for 4 years now. I have decided to only invite people that I do stuff with outside of work. I figured that was a good way to do it.

I agree with pp in regards to friends OUTSIDE of work. I have a coworker who has come with to bridal shows and who came to see me at the bridal salon when I was being sized for my bolero; she is def invited! I have a couple other "coworkers" coming but they were friends before being coworkers.

Depending on your budget and logistics, I'd invite as many as you want!

Im inviting two girls from work (plus their husbands). The other 8 girls from work, Im not inviting. It was a super hard decision, but I kind of stepped back and decided what girls I actually considered true friends. It would be impossible to invite all 10 girls plus guests, because we're gettin married in our backyard. I sat down and really thought about who I wanted there, and tried not to worry about anyone elses opinion. Its really hard --- good luck!!

I am inviting 4 people from my current job with SOs. 5 people from my previous job with SOs and I don't I'll invite anyone from the new job if everything goes ok (crossing fingers) since I'll only be there less than 6 months at the time.

I would make sure you send the invite to her house so its not shoving it in the other co-workers faces that they were not invited and she was. I have personally invited 4 people from work out of roughly 100 people lol and I just made sure to keep it on the dl. I also made sure to invite enough that they could have a table to themselves and not have to sit with compelte strangers.

I was wondering about that too.

I work with about 20 people in my office and only one is being invitied along with her partner and a former colleague and her husband I use to work with but works in a different department. There is another colleague within my office that is getting married in June and to my understanding has invited most of the office so I don't feel too bad about only inviting one person.

Honestly, I say who cares. It would be rude of them to think they're invited to begin with. Do they play significance in your relationship? It would be like inviting an aquaintance. I say don't worry about it and just share pictures with them after the wedding. =]
