Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone is planning on inviting coworkers to there wedding. If so, are you planning on inviting bosses and supervisors, or just work friends? I started a job about six months ago and I have made a few friends there, we don’t hang out outside of work so I was wondering if I should invite them to my wedding or not. Thanks in advance!

    That’s all you need to say, “we wish we could invite everyone, but we are only inviting close friends and family.”

    I'm only inviting co-workers that I'm close to. Some of my co-workers I'm good friends with and I'm inviting them. We're trying to keep our wedding relatively small (we have less than 60 guests) and so we're kind of follow the rule of "If you did invite them and they couldn't come, would you be disappointed?" Like Caytlyn said, another thing to consider is whether you have a relationship with them outside of work.

    I’m inviting one current co-worker. We talk frequently outside of work, and have worked together nearly 8 years across 3 different companies. No one else from my current job. To be fair, we work from home so it’s hard to make friends at work. I’m inviting one former co-worker, but no one else in that circle, at least some of whom were probably expecting invitations. Sorry not sorry. Gotta keep my numbers down.

    If you feel as if your relationship is close enough, & you have room left on your guest list, then why not?

    I’m a teacher so I’m inviting my “team” at school and other music teachers in our county but not supervisors/bosses.

    I am inviting co workers but i also have relationships with them outside of work.

    would say being so new to your job, i wouldn’t invite them. You are still trying to really get to know them, and i would think they wouldn’t expect an invite either.

    I've been with the same company for almost 5 years and have made new friendships throughout. My boss however is almost like a big brother to me and if i didn't invite him it's like cutting out family. The few people I hang outside of work are also invited. But everyone else, I know they won't show up or I just said no. Either way, a few people I work with are coming and they all fit at one table! ha!

    I was not planning to invite coworkers initially. But after working there for a year, and when it came time to send invitations and we had the space, I added my coworkers to the list. My team is small, so I invited all of them and their plus ones. My fiance invited his immediate co-workers, but none of the higher-ups or people from other departments.

    Do you WANT them at your day? Most weddings are a per person charge, so if you don't care if they are at your special day, save yourself the money.
