Inviting your Boss/coworkers

If you haven't spent time with them outside of work, I definitely wouldn't feel obligated to invite them. I totally get where you're coming from, I was in the same boat with my coworkers. They're all very nice and ask about the wedding every now and then, but my wedding is going to be the most intimate event of my life so far and I just don't know them like that lol. I am inviting my boss though, she has taken the time to get to know me a lot and I feel comfortable having her at the wedding.

Whether you decide to invite them or not, I will say to either invite all or none if you all work together. The only exception for that without hurt feelings would be your boss in my opinion, but inviting some and not others would lead to hurt feelings. If having any of them there will make you feel weird, it's perfectly fine not to invite them

I'm inviting my co-workers; I work as a legal assistant at a smaller law firm. Altogether there is 8 of us that work together. We are all close and we do have a bond. However, with that being said we have an accountant that works a few hours a week at the firm who I'm not the biggest fan of. But I did invite her because I felt that I either had to invite all or none since it would be rude of me to exclude only her from my co-workers; just kind of hoping I get a decline from her. If you feel weird inviting them I wouldn't, I was comfortable inviting everyone but we all different so do whatever you feel most comfortable with.

I'm inviting about 6 of my coworkers and also my boss... but we hangout socially outside of work and are all very close. It totally depends on your relationship, but i highly doubt they are expecting an invite- so I don't think there will be any hard feelings if you don't ask them. The question is: do YOU want them to be there (and don't think about obligation feelings when answering that).

I'm the type to believe it's all or none if you've only got a little bit of coworkers. For instance in reality I had a dozen coworkers and I ideally only really wanted like 75% of them there but that's kind of sad to invite 8/12 so may as well invite the other 4. It's different for if you've got 40 but youre only close to or only work with 10 of that, then you can just invite the ten and not all 40.

I'm inviting my boss and 4 other co-workers but only one is in my dept. I work in a hospital laboratory so we have quite a few ppl. One person went with me to choose a dress because I'm not having a bridesmaid, one person I talk to all the time about the wedding, another person invited herself since she was always in my fiance and my love life (he works with us) and another always mentions us getting married.

The usual is only to invite bosses or co-workers whom you socialize with outside of work. But you are in a situation that is different from some. When I have hired aides in my practice e, or students doing internships in private practice, often I am invited to their functions. Sometimes I go, sometimes not. But when I was running a hospital department, never. Unless I knew a person or the family from before I was that person's boss. Because down the line, when promoting people, recommending work pay for courses or a degree for some individuals and not others, people would assume some kind of favoritism , that you treated some better than others, in ways with a big career impact. You do not mention being friends with the judge over a long time, or personal friends. Is it possible that you will appear before her in the future? Will she possibly be assigning work to you, selecting you for a job, or deciding cases which will affect you? If so, it might be better not to invite the judge. And no major present would be due from the judge, as is usually given by those attending a wedding. It might mean people would see this as a conflict of interest, indicating you have a very strong personal tie which in fact does not exist. But could still be perceived by others.

It's up to your discretion who to invite from work. If you have a good relationship with certain people, feel free to invite them! Just do it discreetly
