At the moment, I'm working as a server at a chain restaurant. I've been there for almost a year, and while I'm friends with most of my co-workers and I enjoy working with them, I'm not really planning on inviting any of them to my wedding, because there are a LOT of them, like 40 or 50 people. We're trying to keep it smallish, and just with family and close friends we're pushing our limits.
The thing is, one of my coworkers has offered more than once to make my wedding cake. She loves to bake, the cookies and cake she brings into work are delicious, and I'm sure she'd do a fabulous job. My FH says that if I have her make my cake, I should definitely invite her to the wedding. I don't want to invite her, her husband, and maybe her three children, then not invite anyone else that I work with, but I don't want to seem unappreciative, either. I'd be more than willing to pay her, if she'd accept it, but is that tacky? I haven't said yes or no yet, but I'm not sure what to do.
