plus one advice for coworkers and boss

My FH and I have been going over this too. We decided to only invite the co-workers we have hung out with outside of work. The people that know us both as a couple. So even though I talk with my boss about life and stuff, he and his wife didn't make the cut for the wedding. I had to come to the realization that he's the employer and I'm the employee - that's our relationship. Plus I think that my co-workers who are invited would have more fun/be more comfortable without the boss around.

ETA: I'm also mailing the invitations to my co-workers - not just handing them out in the office. I had to left FH know that this would be the proper way to do things as well. And we both try to keep talk of the wedding at a min at work as well.

I personally would invite people that I talk to most and let them bring a 1 so they have someone to talk to since they won't know anyone else at the wedding other than other coworkers. definitely invite the boss' wife as well. your boss could feel offended if you didn't let him bring his wife.

We decided to eliminate all coworkers from our list. We just didnt have the extra budget for it. I'd invite only the ones you socialize with outside of work and your boss with his wife.

You don't have to give everyone in your office an invite and he ppl you invite, you can just invite them and not a +1. I am giving everyone the option of a + 1 but I am having a destination wedding so I feel that it's more appropriate for them to bring someone since they are traveling for our wedding

All or none. No kids.

Usually rule of thumb is if the person is in a long term or married relationship you SHOULD extend a plus 1. That doesn't mean they will always bring their SO. I only have 5 people in my office so I extended the option and one woman chose to come alone.

17 people is a lot to give everyone +1s so maybe only give those who are Married a Plus 1

We're inviting coworkers we hang out with outside of work.. either way you do it.. you HAVE to invite the spouses if theyre married.. can't leave the wifeys at home.

I limited my guests from work to 5. They are the ones I worked with most when I got engaged. I have a new boss now, but too late. 3 are married, so they get to bring their wives. 2 aren't dating anyone...no plus ones for them

I guess you just have to invite who you want and if the others take offense, oh well. They're co-workers. Plain and simple. Not friends.

Invite those you are close to not everyone. Our wedding is out of town so we are giving everyone a plus one.

We are inviting co-workers as well. We are giving a plus 1 to married/engaged couples only. FH has some who live with their significant other. We agreed, unless they get engaged/married before invites go out, a plus 1 will not be extended.

Also, we are not inviting all of our co-workers, and all invitations will be mailed out.

We have a pretty small corporate office that are basically all our bosses. We only invited the people we are closest with. Like we hang out or are invited to hang out outside of work. We didn't even invite the company owner and top share holder. We told the ones we invited, because of budget we have to restrict invites and to keep it quiet. So they did. It's been 4 months since and have not had any problems. At the same time we don't work in the same office as our bosses but it is a pretty tight knit small local company.

I am inviting just the ones I hang out with outside of work and they are all getting plus one. I would not go to someones wedding if FH was not invited. Even if you don't know their spouse it would be wrong not to invite them.
