Do I have to invite all my co-workers?

I want to invite a few people from work, just not everyone. Is there a diplomatic way to do it without causing a ruckus in the department?  What about the VP of my department? He invites us to his home for a few parties every year- should I include him as well?

    Anyone you invite from work, make sure you send invites to their home, do not hand them out in your office.  Invite whoever you want--I have twice been put on the spot by the same person (that is not even in my direct group) pressing me about an invite or just wanting to come to the reception. If she's joking, she's doing a great job of acting 100% serious. It just bugs me, sorry, I digress...There are 2 or 3 people definitely invited from my group, potentially a couple others who are aware that it depends on how much room we end up with.  But any STDs we sent and any invites we'll send are going directly to my co-worker's homes. And I'm not openly talking about the guest list unless someone asks, then I say "It's really tight and unfortunately we aren't going to be able to invite all the people we want to."

    No, you don't have to invite everyone.  Many people only invite those people that they socialize with outside of work, and that seems to work well.  If you are social with your boss, I'd suggest inviting him/her.  

    Send the invitations to their home, and mention that not everyone is invited and to please avoid discussing it at work.

    I am sorry you have to deal with this.  Luckily I will marry out of state, so I doubt anyone will come.

    I totally understand how you feel about co-workers. I work in a very large office (over 40 people) and I have one great friend co-worker who will be a BM and one other co-worker friend who I plan to invite but the rest won't be invited. Normally, this wouldn't be hard but with lots of young females in my office there have been several weddings over the last year . . everyone else invited the entire office. Most of them, however, had no worry of the office coming because of the location being 2 or more hours away. My wedding is going to be in the same town and I can't chance 40 co-workers coming for a good party.

    I work in a small company (less than 10 people) but don't want to invite everyone because that would add 18 people to the guest list when you factor in wives and whatnot.  I'm still trying to figure out how to invite just a few of my coworkers without the others finding out about it.

    I work with a lot of people. And some of them I do hang out with outside of work. I am inviting my coworker who I work the most with. We are the only girls who work in the office (everyone else works out in the field, I work for a hot air balloon company) She is bringing her man who works out with the balloons and then I am inviting the owners. One, because they are great to work for and I love working here and 2, because they are offering me their condo in puerto vallerta for a week for our honeymoon and I want them to be able to share our day.  :) They are so sweet :)
