    I am only inviting a handful of co workers, only the ones I spend time with outside of work.

    Nope, none. I work in a pretty small office, 11 people including me, so it had to be all or none, otherwise people would've felt left out. 10 people plus spouses would've been 2 extra tables, and that was just not in the budget. I thought about just inviting the 2 partners, but the wife of one of the partners is an associate in the firm too, so then the lines would've been too murky, and back to the leaving out issue. Also I had only been with my firm for 5 months when I got engaged.

    My H just invited his boss & his wife; they're pretty close and hang out outside of work.

    My mother is my boss/co-workers so absolutely. I actually invited the whole office but it's a small office.

    I'm a first-year teacher who has had lots of support from the other teachers in my grade level. All of them and their husbands are invited, but I'm not extending an invite to any other coworkers.

    I did not as my family is very large. My FH invited 4 (plus spouses) that he is closest to.

    I invited a lot of my former coworkers. They are some of my favorite people and best friends.

    Initially I had most of my coworkers on the list when I was trying to meet the minimum of a certain venue, now that I found a venue that is going to work with my desired guest count I will have to remove a lot of them. So I believe we will only invite a select few.

    My FH is inviting some old co-workers of his, but I am not. I tend to keep my work life separate from my personal life.

    We are both inviting a few co-workers. For me, only the members of my department will be invited because we work so closely together and all get along so well, but that will only be three people plus their SO.

    Nope as I only speak to them at work and that’s about it.

    I'm inviting my administration ( I'm a teacher). This will include my principal, asst. principal, instructional coach and reading coach (who are both the bomb). Then I'm inviting both of my teammates (one is actually a bridesmaid) and a co-worker friend.

    To go with my earlier comment, I have spoken with each of them individually and they are ok with not bringing a plus one. I don't know any of their spouses and feel like it would be weird, let alone trying to keep numbers down!

    I'm also a teacher and was discussing this with one of my bridesmaids/teammate. She suggested I put an invite by the boxes...I just laughed because people would show up just for free food! I ended up deciding to go with admin and select coworkers. I do suggest inviting your principal at least. I don't expect mine to come, but I thought it was proper to invite her. This is her first year at my school so I don't know her THAT well, but I am planning on taking three days off in the middle of the school year. I'm also inviting our instructional coach and reading coach, but they are both amazing and I consider them friends.

    Definitely not from my full time job!
    I work a side job with only 4 other people and 3 of them are invited. The 4th was hired after I sent save the dates and I barely know her. I feel bad now though so we’ll see what happens in a few months when I send invitations. I am very close with 2 of the 3 others and friendly enough with the third to keep the group.
    FH works for a huge company and is really friendly with a lot of coworkers. His list would have went on forever if he included them. So he is just inviting his one closest friend.

    I'm not close to my boss, they never attend non-work functions, and I have never even discussed the wedding with them...and I don't want to spend my wedding worrying about how I act in front of my boss. So I'm skipping them. If I still worked at my previous (non-school) workplace where I had a nice relationship with my bosses, I'd be inviting them in a heartbeat!

    Thank you for thinking of your principal. I've been an assistant principal for 3 years, and there have been many, many weddings. None of us have been invited to any of them. Gifts are given regardless, of course, it would just be a nice gesture. 😏
