co-workers

Nancy00714 · February 2012

Hi everyone! Just wanted to know...are you inviting your co-workers? What made you decide to invite them? Do you hang out with them outside of work? Do you go out to dinner together? If you aren't inviting them why not?

A friend of mine once said that she wouldn't invite anyone to her wedding that she hasn't had dinner with. Do you agree with this statement?

I'm really torn whether or not to invite mine. I have 2 sets...I have one set (2 ladies-much older than me) whom I carpool with. So I talk to them quite a bit mostly about generic topics and I have never been out them with socially.

My other group of co-workers I see anywhere from 2-5x a month. But there is a particular time of year when we spend a lot of time together and have lunch. And everytime we have lunch now it starts off with a toast to my marriage! I try not to talk about my wedding but it always comes up. So confused!

I am inviting a few former co-workers (one is a BM, actually) but no current ones. This wasn't a concious decision, but it just happens that I'm not really close to my current coworkers.

I would invite them if they are people you would truly call friends and who you honestly will stay in touch with after you no longer work together.

I read somewhere that if you talk about your wedding in front of them or more to them you should probably invite them. I am inviting the 4 girls I share an office with since we all chit chat a lot about it. I am only friends with one outside of work but I consider them all to be close enough to invite. Everyone else I am not that close with and I don't talk about my wedding to so I am not inviting them.

I work in a department of around 6 people and I am inviting 3 of them. 1 of them is actually the officiant! These are people that I am close with and would like to include. We chat all the time and I would like to share the wedding with them.

I am inviting the people from my department only. We have gotten close as a group and there are only 6 of us, so not a huge number.

I'm not sure yet. I'm definitly inviting the people I run drama club with (director, choreographer, tech director, costume director, chorus director and possibly the administrator who works closely with us) but we hang out outside of the club. In fact our tech director was already on the list as he is dating a very good friend of mine from college before he got the job. The other teachers I work with volunteered to be the B-list. I'd really like to invite a small group of them as we have become very close, they work with me and my mom, and they have super helpful and excited in planning. But they know I can't afford it so they said to invite them if we have a lot a declines. I didn't want to do a b-list but they volunteered!

im inviting two people from my old job in jersey and possibly 1 person from my new job that ive gotten pretty close with. i know people that invite EVERYONE plus significant others to their wedding, and i just think its excessive.

Madisonpenny · February 2012

I'm not inviting anyone I work with including my boss and supervisors.
Fi is inviting co-workers. We're friends with many people who he works with, whereas I don't really know anyone from where I work (I work in homecare so I don't really speak to anyone from my workplace other than my co-ordinator and even then it's seldom).
I did post a question last week about inviting a patients family whom I've grown close to but have decided I'm off not inviting them in case my place of employment found out and this would be a breach in company policy.

I'm not working at the moment, but I am inviting one lady that I worked with at my last job. We got along very well, still keep in contact, and went out a few times for lunch or drinks. FI was thinking about inviting people from his work, but decided against it. I'm not 100% sure why, but I do know it is a night they are suppose to work. If everyone came it shut down the plant, which he thought would be hilarious.

bridetobe71412 · February 2012

I'm inviting a few of them with whom I frequently discuss wedding stuff. There are only 4 of them, plus their 4 SOs, so it's not a huge number. I am debating inviting my boss (there is no way he'd come; it's out of state and he's late 50s and is a super scary partner at our firm).

meagid · February 2012

I am a teacher and am inviting my principal and her SO as well as the support worker that I worked with for 3 years and the one I work with now. I may invite one other teacher that I work closely with, but haven't totally decided.

michelle11988 · February 2012

I am inviting my boss and his wife. I work in a small firm and year-round its just the two of us so yep that would probably be pretty hard taken if I didn't invite him. I'm also inviting one or maybe 2 other ladies and their spouses from one of my previous jobs that I still talk to almost daily.

mandctaft · February 2012

We are inviting one of FI's coworkers and his wife. He has two guys that ride with him to work. The one he invited he hangs out with after work and they're pretty good friends, so he and his wife are invited. The other we were going to invite, but every other day his girlfriend is kicking him out because she knows he's cheating. He's not. He works 12 hours a day and takes care of the kids while she's at work. I don't really like either of them and don't want to deal with their drama since she is so insecure. I told FI no to inviting them and he agreed.

k8888 · February 2012

I'm inviting 4 people I work with in my department. I am inviting them because I am pretty close with them and would remain friends with them if I was to stop working here... that was pretty much my rationale. No higher-up bosses... I think everyone would feel more uptight with them around.

FI is not inviting any of his co-workers.

I am inviting two older ladies who I am closer to in the office to the wedding and their husbands. I don't hang out with them after work or outside of work but we talk outside of work on a regular basis.

Thank yo everyone for responding...still don't know what to do.

NIKKIANDTYE · February 2012

I'm inviting 5 of my former coworkers I use to work with but I still go back and sit and visit and have lunch with them and we still keep in touch

Nancy00714 · February 2012

Thanks everyone...I don't think I'll be inviting them. I never see them outside of work. I never talk to them outside of work. I just wish they would stop toasting to my marriage whenever we have work-related lunches!
