Do you invite all coworkers to your wedding?

Negar, on June 18, 2019 at 10:21 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 28
I am wondering if you send one invite to whole office or should you invite every individual separately together with their families?

    Everyone should get their own invitation and their significant others should be included. Putting out one invitation for everyone is going to give you a huge headache. Who is invited? Your coworker, her husband, and their 3 kids? The guy from the neighboring office and his daughter? You need to be more specific.

    I sent individual invites to everyone in my office.

    I'm only inviting the coworkers whom I'm actually close to. The ones that I would hang out with outside of work. So they will get individual invitations.

    I gave individual invitations to the 4 coworkers who I invited and included their spouse as well.

    I think it would depend on the type of wedding it's it's more casual like a backyard event one invite would be fine, but in general i'd give each one their own. I don't work, but my fiancee works for a small plumbing business and we're inviting them all.

    I'm only giving individual invites to the people I'm really close to. I've only been at my company since September. We have over 100 people in our office, and I'm probably only inviting 4 people.

    Definitely send invites per person / family. However, I am only inviting people I am close with. I am not even inviting my boss. Our guest count would blow up so much if I invite everybody.

    Definitely individual invites like everyone else said. I'm not inviting my whole office, just five close coworkers and their spouses.

    I am inviting none of my co-workers since I have a huge family and used my guest spots for them but my FH has a small family so is inviting his whole office including spouses. We gave each person a STD and will give each person a invitation.

    This is a sore spot for me. I have about 20 co-workers and only want to invite about 6 of them. My wedding is on a Thurs night so they will know who is invited and who isn't. I don't know what to do.

    I agree with the posts above. Casual wedding= general invite to the whole office. Formal wedding=individual invitations to those who you are inviting and their families.

    I ’m only inviting the people I’m close to. I don’t really care if the other people get upset. Plus my wedding is across the country and most people wouldn’t come even if it was an open invite.

    I don’t think you should worry. Those are the people you feel most comfortable with. If anyone asks just say that the venue only has so much space and end the conversation. You are not obligated to invite your whole office to your wedding and people shouldn’t expect that. If they get hurt feelings it’s not your problem.

    Thanks for all the comments. I have a small office with only around 15 coworkers, however I am not really close to everyone on a personal level. My wedding is pretty small I would say less that 80 people kinda wedding so I guess I am going to extend one invitation to the front office for whoever can come and they are more than welcome to bring spouses/partenrs.Smiley heart I also would wait till closer to my wedding and then make a better decision.


    Thanks for all the advise tho Smiley smile

    Separate invitations that clearly indicate if each coworker and a plus one is invited or if their children are also invited. It gets really complicated when you have a coworker with 5 children who is shocked when she realizes only her and her husband are invited (this actually happened to me) so be very detailed Smiley smile


    Plus, I didn't invited everyone in the office. There are legitimately almost 40 women in my office... I invited 8 Smiley tongue

    I'm like you, our office is small and it will certainly "set-off" people if they don't get invited and others do. So I'm doing one invitation for my office and hoping that really only people that want to be there will RSVP and come.

    As a teacher I have a TON of coworkers, but only about 3 or 4 I actually talk to outside of school and am really close with. They’re the only ones who got wedding invites. The school did throw me a shower though so they all were able to participate in a wedding celebration!
