Inviting a boss to the wedding?

I invited my boss but we have worked together for 6 years and I know her very well. 7 months I probably wouldn't.

I think it depends on your relationship with your boss. I invited mine but he has invited FH and I over to his place for drinks and dinners and includes my FH in company parties and such. He's not coming, but because he's so close to both of us, it felt like a must. If you don't feel close to your new-ish boss I would skip it.

Not required if you're not close with the boss. No etiquette rules broken there.

Not inviting mine. I'm lucky I can blame it on a small venue

I wouldn't invite mine not because I don't like her because I do but because it's a day for family & friends. I would feel awkward having my superior there & would feel like she would feel obligated to go if invited.

I'm not inviting mine & I've been with the company 5 years but have had 4 different bosses in the timeframe, FH is but they have a great relationship

I've been working at my current work place for 7 months and I'm not inviting.

Nope. If I don't see you for social events you're not even considered.

I invited my boss. She declined because her daughter is graduating college that weekend. I think she would come uf it weren't for that

I wouldn't. And as a boss, I've never been invited to a wedding even by close/long time associates. I think that your wedding is a time for your friends and family, not for obligations.

I agree with pp. I've worked at the current location for 5 months and my boss and I get along great. I'm not inviting her to the wedding because it's far from where she lives and she'd need to get a sitter for her kids. I expect family and friends are more willing to go through that

It depends on your relationship. If you talk about your wedding planning with your boss, they may feel slighted if they are not invited. You also have to consider if you are inviting other co-workers.

I am inviting my boss. I've worked for her for three years and we are pretty close.

I've been at my job for 6 months and I do not plan on inviting my boss. So awkward :/

Are you close with your boss and/or have a mentor-type relationship? Since you're asking and you've only been in this position for seven months, I'm guessing you don't.

We invited FH boss. He had only been working there for 3 months. We never got an RSVP, which as rude.

As FH says, don't invite someone who has the power to fire you. I decided not to invite my boss; I've been working for him about 3 years.

My entire office is invited! My wedding is a few days before I'll have been with the firm for 2 years. But it's a small law firm and we regularly do things as a group outside of work with our SOs included. My wedding is about an hour north of the office and my boss just rented a vacation home at the wedding location big enough for the whole firm for the weekend so no one has to worry about accommodations. He also informed me that the office will be taking me out for a "bachelorette party." He took everyone to the beach last fall, and we regularly do other things together. I'm the only woman in the office and the guys regularly ask me about planning and everyone is looking forward to the wedding. In my situation, of course they're invited. But if you wouldn't regularly spend time with them outside the office, there's no reason to invite.

Thanks guys! We've gotten closer over the last couple of months due to a series of after work dinners and drinks but I was still not that comfortable having a boss there. Just wanted to double check. He asks about my wedding and we have a casual relationship but I never bring up the wedding to him so I don't think he's expecting an invitation.

I did, but I've worked for him for 12 years. I'm very glad that I did bc he asked me if he could pay for the booze at my wedding as my gift! Um, yes please!!!
