Invite nurse work friends to bridal shower?

Are you inviting them to the wedding?

Do you want them at your wedding?

If the answer is no, then don't invite them. You're under no obligation to invite coworkers or work friends.

If they are not invited to the wedding, they should not be invited to any pre-wedding events.

For co-workers, if you don't see them outside of work is a general guideline used when figuring out whether they should be invited or not.

You can't invite people to the shower that aren't invited to the wedding.

Are they invited to your wedding? If they aren't, no, you shouldn't. If they are, absolutely.

I would be willing to invite all of them to the wedding, as well! Just unsure if its appropriate or not? I don't want anyone to feel like Im literally inviting everyone I know just to get a gift (I've felt that way before when Ive been invited to things like this)

I wouldn't invite them if you dont hang out with them outside of work. I am not inviting anyone from work for the same reason.

You'd be willing to invite them to the wedding....

I think unless you absolutely cannot picture getting married and celebrating with them, don't invite them.

Only you know your relationship with them or if it's appropriate! work relationships are often ever changing so it's hard to tell if they will be in your life by the time of your wedding. If you care for them and would like them to participate in the big day, invite them to both. It is however inappropriate to only invite to the shower and not to the wedding.

I would say no especially if y'all have never hung out outside of work functions...don't fall into that trap like I almost did of inviting every person you've ever known lol

First decide whether or not you are inviting them to your wedding. Then worry about the shower. Only people invited to the wedding can be invited to the shower.

Inviting them to the wedding is personal choice. Some couples invite coworkers, some don't. In my opinion, if you don't even hang out outside of work, I would not be inviting them to the wedding or shower. But it's up to you.

Also, keep in mind, a shower is a smaller party with closest female friends and family.

Do you have a close relationship with them outside of work?

Do you hang out outside of work? If not, then no. It is fairly common for an office to throw wedding showers in honor of a coworker without getting invited, however. Usually other coworkers will go in on one gift.

Do people read? The second sentence of her original post says "I don't hang out with any of them outside of work..."
