Invite Rant..

I moved from New Jersey to North Carolina a few months ago and to hold over till I get a career position, I got a job at wendy's. I made friends with most of the crew there but some of them are trying to invite themselves to my wedding. Asking what do I want as a wedding gift and telling me they are going to fly up to NJ for my wedding bla, bla bla.
Throughout this whole thing I'm thinking to myself that someone trying to invite themselves to my wedding is just rude. I don't hangout/talk with these people outside of work so... it just annoys me. Has anyone else been in this situation?

Re: Invite Rant..

  • i went through a similar situation at work a < very immature 50 year old >coworker found out she wasnt invited when stds went out and she basiclly threw a fit < she was the hostest and i am a waitress> she didnt seat me unless she had to for a whole day and i was in the section that usually is the busiest! till finally the manager pulled her into the office at the end of the day and she was like " i thought we were friends, you always talk to me blah blah blah" i was like i talk to you cause your my coworker we arent "friends ". we dont hang out outside of work " her response " but your nice to me"   me " i am nice to all my coworkers that doesnt mean we are friends!
    she is 25 years older than me !!! i dont know where she got the impression that we were friends i guess me being nice to her confused her! she had sent me a fb request like 3 years ago and i denied it so you know what she did sent it 3 more times!!!! shouldnt that have clued you in! Seriously!


    i would just tell them as much as you would love to have them at your wedding you cant due to....( budget restrictions, size of your venue etc etc) good luck i would also try to keep the wedding talk to a minimum around those people too!
  • Do you think any of them would actually make the drive/fly to your wedding? I wouldn't worry about it. I think people like feeling involved in our people's business, in this case your wedding, but unless these people actually seem willing to put up money to travel, I'd say it's all talk.
  • I have former co-workers like that , but some former co-workers I am inviting but not the one that thinks she should /has implied such via facebook .. Kinda tacky on their part, I'm not sure that most people who dont deal with weddings directly know how much they cost and that a "friend" at work is usually not too high on the list.

    If i didnt hang out with them outside work /have their number in my phone they did not get invited. [work wise ]

  • Not quite the same, but certainly frustrating - FI's ex asked if she was invited because she wants to attend. This conversation occurred when we picked up FI's 12 yr old daughter Friday night. I'm am less than thrilled, but we need to handle our no very delicately or we fear she will prohibit their daughter from joining us on our wedding day...I suggested "We weren't able to invite everyone we wanted, we have limited space at our venue"... FI doesn't think that will fly, wish us luck!
