Are you inviting co-workers?

Time to spill about your guest list decisions and who made the cut !! What about your co-workers? Did any of them make it on the guest list? Next Question: Are you inviting plus ones? Previous Question: Are you inviting cousins?

    I am sure I will regret it as I work with a bunch of jerks lol but we are doing a very open just cake and punch so I will probably extend the invite to all. I am sending a specific invitation to my two bosses though. One is a major role model for me and I can't invite him and not the other he will probably get an invite too. The weird thing is I have had a few regular clients wanting/hinting at an invite. One was even asking what we still had left to get and wanted to help out, like yeah I just signed your 4th $10,000 check this week but I'm good thanks lol

    I'm not certain at this time. We have our initial guest list, and right now we can't afford to have any extra people including co-workers.

    I work in the family business so the only co-workers invited is my family not other employees. My fiance on the other hand invited a couple co-workers, however, realized one he invited, he sorta regretted inviting and didn't want to send an actual invite. We still sent one since I told him we already sent save the dates and that isn't very nice.

    If we had more room in our guest list I would invite a few. Two of my old coworkers actually went dress shopping with me and made it so fun!

    Just one, I am not a fan of most of the people that I work with. My FH is inviting none, he likes to keep things completely separate so he does not hang out with any of his co-workers outside the office or office functions.

    My FH invited some of his coworkers. Only 1 of the 6 he invited are attending. I wanted to invite mine but we were almost over capacity and the location is a 3 hour ride away AND we work in the wedding business and we’re in wedding season. I don’t like to make people’s decisions for them but I also assumed my coworkers wouldn’t come.

    I wanted to also but it would add 2 tables. We don’t have enough room. So none.

    I want to invite my coworkers, but

    1) I don't know if we'd have the room for them in the guest list and

    2) inviting all those I'd want to invite would basically shut down both of the offices we all work between, since I'm getting married on a Friday afternoon.

    Idk. I want to, but I don't think it's possible.

    I am only inviting two of my coworkers and FH I believe is inviting one of his.

    Only my boss and his wife because we were actually friends before I started working under my boss.

    No plus ones unless the guest doesn't know ANYONE else that will be at our wedding.

    No cousins. My family is freaking HUGE and I can't invite one without inviting them all.

    I have 2 coworkers plus my boss. I'm inviting all of them. I know my boss probably won't attend since it's campaign season, and he will be doing that instead. My other two coworkers said they would be attending (verbally).

    I work in non-profit DV services and my work family is pretty close-knit. I invited 3 of my closest friends who I see outside of work regularly. But nope, definitely not anyone else and not inviting out of obligation, either.

    Nope, my wedding is family only (25) people. It was a decision to keep it small or have to make decisions like this. This way hopefully no one feels left out.

    I only invited one coworker, who is really the only one who I talk to at work. We have done things outside of work, but not for quite a while. She was on the bubble, but in the end we invited her, and I'm glad we did. My mom tried to pressure me into inviting my two bosses, but I put my foot down at that. They wouldn't come anyway, and I didn't feel obligated to invite them - it felt gift-grabby to me.

    FH also invited only one coworker, a former coworker now, but they worked together at the time that we made up the guest list. He works in the restaurant industry, and it was a pretty small restaurant that he worked at before, so he really couldn't invite more than one or two anyway, or there wouldn't have been enough people to work. We are close with this ex-coworker and often do things outside of work with her and her husband.

    And, that reminded me that technically we're inviting two of his ex-coworkers - the other one is FH's sister-in-law, who is the head chef at the restaurant.

    We're not inviting anyone from his new job, where he has been since this past November.

    Hard no for me unless something miraculous changes. I'll be at a new firm by the time we start sending invitations though so who knows.

    He plans on inviting a couple of old coworkers.

    I changed jobs in the middle of wedding planning. I am inviting 1 coworker from my old job and 1 of my new coworkers would be invited (because I've known her before this job) but she has another wedding that day. But also I used to work at the same company as my mom so my mom invited 2 of her coworkers but they're friends of hers that I love who just so happen to also be previous coworkers of mine.

    Yes I have 3 coworkers and hubby did too but i doubt they will show up. They don’t show up to their own business party’s.
