Invite your Boss? is it necessary?

You invite whoever you WANT. If you aren't close with your boss then no, are they going to make your day better.. more fun??

I'm not necessarily sure of this either... FH and I will be inviting our respective bosses, mainly because FH's boss has been so understanding and supportive of his going back to school (and not dropping his insurance) and I work one on one with my boss and it felt appropriate.

It sounds like it would be appropriate in your situation, but I could be wrong. How close are you with your supervisors?

I didn't and neither did FH. I'm not close with my boss and would rather put that money towards something else.

No not at all, but FH believes that its the right thing to do, My mother seems to believe so too

If you're not particularly close to them and work in a large office, I wouldn't invite them. I am planning on inviting my boss, but it's just the two of us in the office and he is friends with FH and see each other frequently at the gym.

At my previous job, I was one of 8 employees and was not planning on inviting anyone (we didn't ever see each other outside of work and our venue is 2 hours from that office).

We invited my boss and another coworker on my team but no one from H's work. I am close with my boss and other team member so it would have felt weird to no invite them.

Would you take them out to dinner? If yes, then invite them. If no, then don't.

Nope. Don't invite them

I work pretty closely with my supervisor, but he doesnt really go to functions outside of work which is why im saying i dont think he would actually go to our wedding, but I dont want it to be weird if we extended an invitation out of courtesy. As for our main boss hes just that our boss you know, closest we have been to him was a bowling league we had last year but thats about it.

No it is not. Just don't talk about your wedding at work and give the invitations out outside of work. I am not inviting anyone from my job. You supervisor does not expect it. I am a supervisor and I personally do not want to be invited to the weddings of the people that work for me.

Me and FH work for the same company and have an amazing boss! We are definitely inviting him and his wife! They have been great to us over the years!!

I am inviting my boss, but that would be because he is also my Uncle! LOL So he would be coming regardless. I don't plan on inviting anyone else from work though as they are not family and I rarely ever see them.

Otherwise if y'all aren't close with them I wouldn't invite them.

Do what you want. I don't think there is a rule to this.

I'm not inviting my boss whom I work with daily, mostly in her home, with her kids. Because that job brings me stress and I want no parts of that on my wedding day.

I am inviting my boss from my part time job whom I only work with once or twice a week. He's known me 2 yrs longer than I've known FH, and was one of the first people to tell me to "keep this one".

If you're not close, don't invite them. It may seem 'right,' but your day is about celebrating with the people closest to you. Not with those in your vicinity...

Thanks everyone!

I invited mine but she has been my boss at 2 separate jobs now. She actually brought me to my current company. I have known and worked very closely with her for 6 years now.

Now for anyone else I work with, I went with the rule that if I dont see you outside of work..not invited.

I think that's totally up to you on how comfortable you feel with it! I don't think it's a necessity.

I am inviting my supervisor and co-worker, but we are a 3 person team and I am extremely close to both of them!

My supervisor and I do get along at all, so I am not inviting her. I am only inviting one co-worker and her husband (also happens to be a co-worker). My FH is inviting a few coworkers, but not his boss. We both work in law enforcement which made this a hard decision (chain of command and all that) but I can't imagine inviting people that we are not close with.

If you're not close with them outside of work don't invite them. I didn't invite my boss but I did invite my 2 co-workers that I'm actually friends with.

Are you obligated to invited them? No.

But how much do you want this job/them to like you? lol If you have the space for them, it'll reflect positively on you. I know mine are happy to be invited.
