Invite your boss or not?

I guess I'm just rude. I'm inviting my supervisor and a few coworkers. I have had others ask if they are invited and I either say no or blank stare. I generally straight forward so most of them haven't asked.

I agree with others that it depends on your relationship with them. Do you guys go out after work or hang out socially? Do you talk about non-work stuff together? If so, and you like them, then go ahead and invite, otherwise you do not have to.

We are marrying in a different country but either way one of my supervisors is getting married the day after me, so I doubt he'd come!

I'm inviting my boss... from a job I had 8 years ago

I'm not inviting my current boss.

The department I work in is very small and we're all pretty close. My boss calls himself my "work dad" so I'll be inviting them all.

I have worked in places where I would never invite any of them - it just depends on the relationship you have. If your not close on a personal level, I really don't think you have to invite them.

I work very hard to keep my personal and professional lives separate - no invite.

I am inviting my boss but I already know he will be away at a conference on our wedding day. I am hoping he at least sends a gift.

We aren't inviting either of our bosses. FH is inviting some co-workers he is friends with but I am not inviting anyone from work. It helps that our wedding will be in another state though and we have stated that it will be a small & intimate wedding.

I'm not going to invite my boss. It would be a nice gesture, but only do it if you truly like your boss and want her/him to be there. Don't do it just to schmooze--it's not worth it.

I am not inviting anyone from work unless I hang out with them outside work. I think if you only have a working relationship with them then it's not necessary. I am finding my mom and I have different opinions on who to invite to the wedding.

My co-workers, Sr. Director and VP are pretty close. I invited all 10 + SO's. But only after we were certain that we had room on the guest list.

I'm inviting my boss from when I was in college. We're very close and still stay in contact. My current boss? No, we have a more professional relationship.

Well, glad to see someone else in the medical field struggling with this! I work in a clinic as a medical assistant. It's a big clinic, like 25 doctors, 40 something staff. I've been here about 9 years though so even though I don't see many coworkers outside of work I feel pretty close to many of them since I see them daily and talk about life. I'm inviting 6 of my closer coworkers and the ARNP I assist.. the two doctors I work with primarily are who I'm deciding whether or not to invite. Never seen either of them outside of work but they're very cordial/ friendly to work with, so it *may* be nice to have them there and if they give us nice gifts... it'd be worth it. LOL. I don't know, Still deciding. I say go forward with inviting the coworkers you're closest to and anyone else that asks just say the guest list has gotten too large so you're keeping it to close friends only. *shrug*. hard decision for me. Go with the gut I suppose when it comes to superiors. I wouldn't be *uncomfortable* if they were there, so I may end up inviting them. Maybe just think about what it'd be like for you if they were there and if you'd be uncomfortable at all or reserved somehow because of their presence, maybe don't invite them?
