    I invited my coworkers, I didn't see it as a big ordeal.

    No coworkers on my end, but FH is because he hangs out with them outside of work

    I’m a yoga teacher so I don’t have colleagues I see every day. I’m inviting 3 of my students, and 2 fellow teachers. I have people asking me about the wedding every day and I feel a little guilty I can’t invite more, but keeping it to just people who I am very close with outside of work makes it fair. If I invited anyone else, I’d have to invite EVERYONE else!
    My fiancé choose not to invite any coworkers. He works in insurance and only 2 people in the company are above him so he doesn’t have co workers per se and hasn’t spent time with anyone outside of work, which in my opinion means they probably aren’t close enough for an invite. And I don’t think a boss can pick or choose who gets an invite, all or none in his situation (in my opinion).

    I'm not sure yet. I just started my new job in the past few months so I may invite some of my coworkers from my old job.

    We didn't invite them to the ceremony (kept it family only) except for our old boss because she and her husband are a big part of why we are together in the first place and they have always been like family. Our other co-workers are invited to the reception and after party though.

    Some. I’m very close with a few as is my FH. Plus our bosses said they won’t give us time off if we don’t invite them 😂

    Yes we are both inviting co-workers. FH works more closely with his co-workers than I do, so he'll have more attending. I work in the field, so I see mine at the base in passing, so it's a lot easier for me to "miss" some people. Ooops did I say that out loud!! Lol

    Neither of us invited current co-workers. I'm not super close with my co-workers since we all work separately at different locations and I just moved to a new location so I don't know too many people there that well. As for my FH, he tries to keep work and home life separate because we both worked at a place that our friends were our co-workers and it felt like we never got away from work. So a few previous co-workers were invited but they are friends we have had for a long while.

    I plan on inviting about 10-15 people from my work. I see them more than my own family, so they are a big part of my life. I am worried about offending other coworkers who don't make the cut, but oh well. It's our day and we only want people there who will make it better!

    Only the ones we are close to. I'm inviting my office staff, but only because I know they won't make the 8 hour trip. Same for my fiance.

    I’m thinking of inviting a few of my coworkers. I teach at an elementary school. I work with a lot of people. But my grade level team has been pretty awesome and supportive of me this year (this is my first year there and teaching that grade). Also it happens that I’m working with a third cousin of mine that I didn’t even know about because of my dad’s non-socializing self.

    YES ! My colleagues are polish like me, they're like family for me here in France. So it was a pleasure to invite them.
