Inviting Coworkers

Stephanie, on January 18, 2020 at 10:02 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 9
I am an ABA Therapist in a classroom and there are about 15 of us total in the classroom. I get along great with all of my coworkers. I wanted advice on if I should just invite them all or only invite the ones that I am closer to? Normally I wouldn’t care about offending others, but I do spend 40 hours a week with these people. I feel like it needs to be an all or none situation. There’s no limit on guest spaces, so that won’t be an issue.

    I personally would only invite the ones I had a relationship with outside of work, but you should do whatever you want.

    We are not inviting coworkers, since we don’t hang out with them outside of work. Invite who you actually want there, you’re not obligated to invite anyone. I get along with all my coworkers as well, but we aren’t “friends” per say. But do whatever makes you happy!

    I know you wanted to avoid this but I invited just a few of my coworkers, mostly because there are a lot more than 15 people and there are some I absolutely would not invite (barely talk to). Also 15 people with significant others leads to 30 people so keep that in mind. I think the rule of thumb of if you hang out with them outside of work, then invite them, would apply here.

    If you don't get along or hang out with everyone then it might make sense to not invite anyone.

    I would stick with those you’re closest too and spend time with out of work. I am a teacher and I’m just inviting the 4 coworkers who are on my “team” and other music teachers i spend time with outside of work. My FH is a HS teacher and is just inviting his department. Other coworkers ask about the wedding plans all the time but no one acts as though they’re expected to be invited. One of the advantages is one of our PE teachers and our art teacher are husband and wife! I got a 2 for 1 deal on that invite. Didn’t have to give them plus ones, they were both invited anyways!

    Invite those you socialize with after work. I work in a public school and I am never offended by people who get married and not invite me. Unless we see each other after work it is no problem.

    For me it was an all or nothing.

    since it would be weird to invite like 8/12 or whatever amount.

    Invite only those you socialize with outside of work. People understand that dividing line, usual etiquette. Or invite all. Must have SO too. If you have the space and money, and 30 more guests is not an issue, have fun with them all!
