Who invites their boss

Jamie, on February 7, 2020 at 10:10 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 22
I can’t decide if I should invite my boss or not? I have worked there for 3 years, is it the nice polite thing to do ? I don’t want him there I don’t talk to him like that but at the end of the day he writes my checks so how many of y’all have invited y’all a boss? Also no one else from my job will be invited cuz I hate themSmiley smile also my fiancé and his dad have a company together so his boss will be there lol

    I originally planned on it but I’ve decided not to. Etiquette says you should but I don’t think most people do.

    I invited 5 of my supervisors at work but I am close to all of them! I talk to them about crazy things going on in my life and we’re friends!



    If you don’t talk to him, then don’t invite. I don’t think he will be hurt over it

    No way was I going to invite my boss. That would’ve been extremely uncomfortable.

    It will be sooooo awkward if I don't invite my boss and co-workers but I really don't want to. Mother votes yes, FH votes no. Honestly I'm probably not going to even though my boss might be hurt. I just can't imagine them being there

    I’m inviting one person on my team but not boss. Her role. Hanged recently. I was at my max. If you’re friendly with him yes. He may say no and still give a nice gift.

    I work with my family, so my bosses will be there...
    But no one from my fiance's job is invited. Except for one guy who happens to be dating the best man's sister.

    I invited 4 coworkers I’m close with but didn’t invite my boss because we’re just not close. I didn’t see a reason to invite him since I’ve never hung out with him ourside work.

    I am most definitely not. I quit in December and she told me no, and that "everyones stressed out this time of year" When I came in for my paycheck, a coworker A tried to blame me for a car accident coworker B got into allegedly covering one of my shifts I abandoned, but the shift she was talking about would of been my day off.


    If I cant leave, the least I can do is enjoy my time away from work and work people as much as I can. Hopefully one of the applications I put in for elsewhere will be a different story.

    Who would you sit your boss with if you end up inviting him/her? I wouldn’t invite my boss because that’s an awkward relationship dynamic. Yes they sign your checks but it might be awkward for them to gift you a monetary gift.

    If you don’t like him I definitely wouldn’t!


    I LOVED my boss (he isn’t my boss anymore but he was when we got married). He was like a mentor to me, took me under his wing at the company, gave me a job after my internship when I graduated, and pushed for me to get a promotion when I wanted one (even though it meant I wouldn’t work for him anymore). I still didn’t invite him to the wedding, just because it really confused the line of who gets invited and who doesn’t. I had coworkers I really liked too and I would’ve wanted to invite them then. But then a couple coworkers that I’m eh about, but I couldn’t invite some and not all......

    I just drew the line with “we can’t afford to invite anyone from work” and that was that. I’m a little sad I didn’t get to invite my boss and one coworker in particular. But it just would’ve gotten too messy.

    We invited our boss. We both work for the same company and our boss is a really chill guy. He made a new job position in the company just for me, gave my fiancé a great promotion, and gives us pretty great bonuses every year.

    If you're not close to your boss, I think it's okay to not invite them. If inviting your boss feels like having a stranger show up at your wedding, I think it's safe to say don't invite them.

    As everyone else is saying, it should only be based on your interactions with your boss. If there's no interaction outside the office normally, it would be weird for something as personal as your wedding.
    For me, my wedding isn't in the city I live in to be closer to family. It would be super unreasonable for my supervisor to fly his family 2.5 hours just for a wedding!

    I think it depends I haven't decided myself as I have a guest list that was made before I started my job, so I am only inviting co workers if people from the guest list cannot attend, however my fiance is inviting his boss and my FMIL has requested hers be on the guest list as well. It really depends on if you want them there it's your day if they aren't going to add to it then theres no need honestly I would find it very weird asking my boss that I don't know for their address to send an invitation, maybe that's a way to decide if you can ask that, then invite if you can't then don't.

    I invited my immediate boss b/c I get along great with her and I honestly wanted her there. I did not invite her boss or our department VP, but I really do want her at the wedding so that's why I invited mine. If you do not want your boss at your wedding, I'd say don't invite him.
