Inviting dating coworkers

Hi ladies ! Just curious to see how everyone would go about inviting two coworkers that have recently started dating - one of them has been a coworker longer and is definitely invited, with a guest, regardless. He started dating a fairly new coworker, who we’ve now as of recently, been spending a lot of time with. Our wedding is 9 months away, so if we continue to spend time with her this way, we will want to invite her as well, and not make it seem like she was a last minute invite.
Would you invite them both separately, with a guest, knowing they’ll most likely come as each other’s guests? Or invite the coworker you’ve known longer, knowing he’ll bring her, unless things don’t work out between now and the wedding ?

I would just see where their relationship goes considering you have a long time until invites will be sent out. If they stay together, address one invitation to the both of them. If they don't, invite your friend with a plus one if he's single and you want him to bring someone. As for the girl, you'll just have to see what your relationship with her is like if they aren't together when invite time rolls around.

For the Save The Dates, you don't need to specify guests, so you can just invite the one you are closer to. If they are still a social unit by the time invitations come, then I believe the "formal/proper" way to do it is to send them both invitations without a "and guest" assuming they don't live together.
That being said, for our wedding I decided to though tradition out the window with wording on invitations. So do whatever feels natural.

Hey there, V. I too would advise seeing how the relationship progresses and make a decision closer to sending your invitations out. A lot can change in a few months
