Are you inviting co workers?

I personally am inviting coworkers only because I work with three other women and I really don't mind including their significant others, which out of the three, only one would bring hers. So it really wasn't that much of a guest list increase.

Neither my husband nor I invited co-workers. It becomes a 'where do you drawn the line' thing. My team has a great rapport, but I also talk to other teams a lot too. It felt like if I invited 1 or 2, I'd need to invite 20-30 and my entire guest list was initially 65...

I'd wait until a lot closer to decide. Don't send save the dates to coworkers, just invites. Don't tell them they are invited, so you can make a decision a few months before your wedding. I invited my office but my fiance didn't invite his.

I am inviting my coworkers, but to the reception only. My ceremony space can only fit at most 150, where as the reception space fits up to 200. Because of this, we are keeping the ceremony smaller and inviting others we would still like to celebrate our day with to the reception.

I don’t socialize with my coworkers outside of our work holiday party, so no, I didn’t invite any. My husband does have coworkers with whom he is very close — we’re talking good friends, people that have come to our home for dinner. *Those* coworkers (and ONLY those coworkers!) got an invite. I think the important distinction is these weren’t people from work invited bc they work together— these were people from work invited because they are friends.

Only one but we also attended college together. I don't socialize outside of work with my coworkers so it wouldn't be logical to

We were super on the fence about coworkers. We went back and forth between wanting to keep the guest list down to only people we actively hung out and wanting to have a bigger reception and opening invites to people like coworkers or relatives like cousins who we haven't seen in a long time. Ultimately we kept our guest list smaller, and only invited coworkers we spend time with outside of work. So I'm inviting my friend across the hall who I see at work and also typically at least once a week outside of work, but not my officemate who I see and talk to every day, but who I've only seen once outside of work.

I only invited coworkers who I spent time with outside of work

We are inviting a mutual friend who works at the same company as us (and actually introduced us!) but otherwise, no one from work is invited. I would have liked to invite a couple of my coworkers, but we don't spend much (if any) time with them outside of work. Plus, FH's family is huge, so that basically made the decision for us that we couldn't invite coworkers.

This! I wasn't sure about co-workers. I change projects and offices often. In the end I decided to invite my boss. We didn't send a save-the-date but I will be sending him an invite for him and his wife.

My FH was really sure, there are a lot of his co-workers his age that he goes to get drinks with often. We even went to one of their weddings.

I always knew I'd invite my boss & his wife, his daughter (our office manager) and her boyfriend, and another appraiser & his fiance. I just didn't know about one other employee (and since then we hired someone else). In the end I ended up inviting everyone but it was a lot easier not sending save the dates so having no pressure of that.

We are not inviting co-workers, however, a co-worker of mine literally just walked into my office and told me how excited she was to be coming to the wedding! I stunned, I didn't know what to say so I just smiled and nodded....crap. Now I have to have that awkward conversation

Anyways, I wouldn't invite them unless you have a close relationship and want them to celebrate with you

I don't really socialize with my co-workers outside of work. There is 1 that I would maybe consider, but I just feel like its all or nothing for my smaller office.

FH on the other hand is going to invite some of his co-workers. We are trying to keep our guest list to 75 and he is having a tough time with it. He works in a bigger office so I don't think he's worried about hurting anyones feelings, but he has worked in his office and with a specific company he consults for for 12 years so he has long relationships with a lot of people. We had a few discussions about him inviting co-workers and we finally agreed on a handful of co-workers & spouses that I have personally spent time with. FH and I get invited to a lot of his work events so I have gotten to know the people being invited and we agreed that we will only invite people from his office not from the company he consults with.

With a smaller guest list we had to set boundaries for ourselves. The main boundary being we have to both personally know the guest and they have to have some type of previous involvement with our relationship.

I ended up inviting about 8 coworkers and their spouses but I love them all dearly and want them all there. My mom says if you have to question whether or not they should be there, they probably don't need to be lol

I would only invite a co-worker I only saw a few hours a week if I had socialized with her outside of work for a period of time. Going to each other's houses, inviting each other for holiday and birthday things, going out to move is or a club with friends, or with our SO .

I am inviting co-workers to my wedding from my current position as well as my last. The ones who I use to work with have now become great friends and the ones from my current place of work are the ones who sit by me and are invested in my life. I felt that I had a dilemma as well because I started a new job and then got engaged 4 months later. I didn't know if I should or not but I thought about how I would be working with them for almost 2 years by the time my wedding was. So I just kept it simple. My boss and the three people I work closest with. I hope this helps!

If you see them outside of work, then yes. My hubby invited his boss (he wanted to, didn't have to) and I invited my former Head of School as I asked her to give a toast.

My FH and I work for the same airline for 11+ years so you are talking about in NY being amongst a station of 1500 co workers some of which we hang out with outside of work and have become family to us. so we are not only inviting 10 people from work I have 5 of them in my BP!

He’s not, but I’m inviting my work besties that I hang out with and talk to regularly outside of work. He works for a small company and felt if he invited one, he would have to invite them all. Since he doesn’t have much of a non-working relationship with them, he opted to not invite them.
