Co-workers and wedding activities

I guess it depends on if you see any of them outside of work?

Are they invited to the wedding? Are you close enough that you see them at other events outside of work? I personally think that only the people you’re closest to should be invited to showers. If you’re not close, an event that’s all about giving you gifts isn’t the best place to bond.

I only invited a few co-workers to the Wedding. At least 6 didn’t come the day of and 3 didn’t bother to let me know that they weren’t coming. I followed up with two of them several times and they told me that they were coming and then didn’t. I have NOT heard from either of them and the Wedding was 2 weeks ago.

😒

I received a text that a married couple that I had worked with (each at 2 different places) weren’t coming due to a family illness and another sent a message re: not feeling well by another person that did attend.

I did NOT invite any of the Managers because I wanted people to feel like they could just enjoy and be themselves.

For the 👰🚿, I invited a handful of co-workers, just the few that live kind of near me. 2 showed up. What I found to be hilarious was the one that didn’t bother to let me know that she wasn’t coming to the Wedding didn’t come to the 🚿. However, she will drive right past where we had it to go to the Sweepstakes place to gamble. 😂

I am a (music) teacher and I’m only including my “team” in my wedding events (the PE/Art/library teachers) as well as other music teachers in the county I’m close with. There are only 12 of us so many of us great friends and do things together outside of work. One of their husbands is even a groomsman. I would say if their people you see outside of work, include them but don’t feel obligated.

Thank you ladies! 2 of them I consider to be my friends because we started this job on the same day and really bonded. We hang out outside of work and they will definitely be included. However, the rest I only hang with at work and I will probably invite them to the wedding as they already kinda invited themselves, but not the wedding events that I may have preceding the wedding.

We have a small office, but we are all pretty close. I didn't include them in the bachelorette, but they were invited to my bridal shower (the female coworkers & my boss's wife) then the wedding.

Oh I have a small office and invited all six of them and they know literally everything! They are my therapists LOL

If you guys are close where you hang out with them post work then yes. If not just a wedding invite is suffice.
