Shower at work...do I have to invite EVERYONE

My co workers will throw me a shower at my office that the whole office will be invited to (about 50ish people), and anytime we do things such as this EVERYONE participates, buys gifts, gives money....Does this mean I have to invite the whole office to my wedding? there are only a handful of people I want to invite, bit is it distasteful or rude to not invite everyone after they've given gifts?
I know most wouldnt come but I fear a couple would come jsut to be nosey...

    Usually work showers are exempt from the pre-wedding party rule.  No, you don't need to invite everyone.

    Work showers are generally the exception. Not everyone in theoffice expects to be invited to the wedding. If you can invite the person who initiated the shower or a couple friends that you are close with from work to the wedding, at least your co-workers will be represented.

    Work showers are generally considered the exception to the rule of having to invite everyone to the wedding that was invited to a pre-wedding party.

    The co-workers most likely don't expect to be invited to the wedding, this is their way of celebrating with you.  With other showers the host gets the wedding guest list from the bride (or has someone sneak it if the shower is a surprise) and sends out the invites based on that.  A work shower doesn't happen that way.  Whoever puts it together sends out an e-mail or a flyer to the people being invited (whole company, a department etc.) and they don't invite people from the wedding guest list.  This in no way obligates you to add them to your guest list.
