Should I invite my new coworkers?

I got engaged in July and started a new job in January. I've only known my new coworkers for 2.5 months and none have met my fiance yet. If I invite my manager, I feel like I should invite my whole team, which would be 10 guests plus dates. I'm struggling with whether to invite them or not. I don't...

I'm struggling with whether to invite them or not. I don't want it to look like I'm only inviting them to get gifts, but is it rude to not invite them? I feel like it might be awkward if I invite them, but rude if I don't. My mom thinks I should invite them, my fiance and wedding planner think I shouldn't.

Thoughts? Please no "it's your wedding, do whatever you want" comments I'm looking for opinionated advice! Thanks!

P.S. We're having a church ceremony and hotel ballroom reception of about 150 guests.

If money is not an issue and you want to invite them do it. If money is an issue and you are concerned about increasing the guest list or just do not have space just invite the manager only. They will be okay.

I have been at my job for two years and no one is invited. Well my boss is but that is because she is my FMIL! Haha. But really. There are 2-3 people here who I might invite but I also realize if it wasn't for work we likely wouldn't talk much at all so when trimming down my numbers they got cut!

I wouldn't. You don't really even need to invite your manager.
