I posted this on my month board but this one gets so much more action. I know the "standard" answers to this question (invite those that you're close to, blah blah) but I'd like some perspective on my situation.
I've already decided to invite my boss, immeidate supervisor and one of my coworkers who I am legitimatly friends with and socialize outside the office with but I'm struggling with the rest of the office. In my position I handle the HR, some of the interviewing, etc at the company and have a fair amount of authority.
We've recently hired a several new people - 1 about three months ago that I've had very little interation with since she's out of the office most of the time, 1 that's going to start next week and we're currently in the interivew process to hire two more. There's a group of 4 that has been here since I started 3 years ago that will go out to lunch together occasionally and I'd like to invite them, but I feel like I have to invite EVERYONE if I do that since only 4 people would be left out (for perspective there will be a total of 12 staff memebers with all of the new hires).
No matter what, I've kept wedding chit chat to a minimum and will be sending invitations to my coworkers homes but I would hate for an invited coworker to ask a non-invited person if they're coming to the wedding and for them to feel left out.
What would you do in my situation?
