Guest list..did you invite co-workers?

bellamae, on February 11, 2016 at 9:27 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 90

Hello ladies! What is the proper etiquette for inviting co-workers? FH has been told you are supposed to invite your boss but I was under the impression if you invite one co worker it spirals into inviting your whole department. Did you all invite co workers? How did you narrow it down? We have just been invited to his co worker's wedding which doesn't make it any easier...

    I am not inviting any and neither is FH. Neither of us are super close to our co workers and with keeping our guest list at 100 most of our cousins are not even invited. If you hang out with certain coworkers outside of work you can just invite them if u'd like them there.

    Ew. I would hate having my boss there (but she is an idiot). I invited two coworkers- one I knew before I worked there and we've hung out outside of work. The other I am close with as we often travel for work together. That's it. I don't talk about wedding stuff with any other coworkers so I do not feel bad about not inviting them.

    I only invited the ones I spend time with outside of work. I work with a few of my closest friends. You don't have to invite anybody, even bosses.

    I'm inviting one. We actually hang out together outside of work, and we took a vacation together in August. But my guest list is pretty exclusive, so just because I sit next to you for 40 hours a week you will not be invited. Sorry but not really!

    We're both inviting former coworkers that we're still close with. I only have one on my list but fh has a few.

    I am inviting 2 coworkers and one former coworker. I hang out with all 3 outside of work. I am not inviting my boss. FH is inviting his whole dept. which is around 10 people including a few of his bosses. They are a very tight knit group.

    It honestly just depends on who you want there. By no means do you have to invite any coworkers.

    Why would we do that?? This is our wedding, not a networking event. We are inviting people we have worked with in the past because they are our friends.

    I invited them all, but There are 7 of us. I would have liked to invite only 3 of them, but that just seemed awkward and rude and i decided I didn't want to deal with hurt feelings, being the small size of our office (law firm).

    I only sent an STD to one co-worker. I am not close with the others.

    We frequently go out with my coworkers outside of work. I work in a small department with 7 other people and I was happy to invite them all.

    I invited 3 bosses and ones wife who i have met several times, and about 7 coworkers, yes everyone does want to be invited but I cannot invite everyone. FH is inviting around 8 co workers including his bosses as well. He has also known them for a long time.

    Everyone in my dept knew I was getting married and I answered questions when I was asked like how's the planning going and are you excited. But I only invited the two co-workers who are also very good friends outside of work. I was lucky to have co-workers who didn't cross the line. And no, you don't have to invite your boss unless you want to.

    FH is inviting some of his coworkers, but only the ones he spends time with outside of work. I'm inviting a few former coworkers that I was close with (I met one of my BMs at that job) and some of my friends at college. I've never heard of being obligated to invite your boss.

    Thanks everyone! I hadn't heard about it until he mentioned it. I'll only be inviting one co worker because we're friends outside of work but no one else will feel offended or will be expecting an invite. FH has a small department so it's hard to leave certain people out and not offend anyone especially since they get together after work pretty frequently. I swear the guest list is the hardest part of wedding planning so far!
