Inviting Coworkers?

We are, but that’s only because we are a very very close knit group. Even people that have moved into a different departments we’ve still always gotten together as a group and have outings every time someone gets a new promotion etc.If we all did not have this very close tightknit relationship with each other, I would absolutely not be inviting people from work. It can get messy And I prefer to keep work very separate from my personal life.

Hi Gabrielle! Originally I had invited a handful that I am friends with and see personally outside of work, but with covid restrictions I had to uninvite them unfortunately. Several work friends have gotten married and I was not offended at all that I was not invited. hope this helps with your decision ❤️

I'll be inviting a few coworkers who I'm close to and socialize with outside of work (happy hours don't count).

Only invite those you are super close to that you socialize with outside of work.

The usual is to only invite those you already see outside of work and work functions. A clear line for coworkers you don't invite. They have never invited you anywhere, or done anything regularly outside work, and they know it already.

We’re not inviting coworkers. But that’s because we‘re only inviting the 65 family/friends who we’re truly close with. So, I don’t have any coworkers who fall into that category and none who I’d truly consider my “friends”. I solely refer to them as “coworkers” and that’s just not enough to receive an invite.

I only had like a dozen coworkers so it was weird for me to not invite all of them since I had a large wedding. It would have been weird if I only invited a portion of them

I just started a new job so I'm not inviting any coworkers at the moment. I will be inviting people from my old office who I socialized with outside of work. My plan in my old office was to invite my entire team and nobody else (7 people out of a 45 person office)

I have three people from work that I would normally invite, but a combination of COVID and a 100 guest cap at my venue is ultimately causing me to leave them off the list. We don’t really socialize much outside of work but we’re very close at work/text regularly outside of work. It just felt easier to leave them out so it didn’t turn into a slippery slope of hurt feelings from the rest of the team.

On my side I am inviting coworkers- I went through an LE academy with them & have spent so much time with them. I am only inviting the ones I have continued to be close with and hung out with multiple times outside of work. If we only talk at work or haven’t talked in months it’s a no from me. Some people will get hurt, but I’m also sure they’ll understand.

I’m a teacher too, so I totally get where you’re coming from! In general, I think we get quite close with or coworkers at school. I know some who invited all the other teachers in their grade levels to their weddings, and that just isn’t feasible for some, including me. I’m inviting two that I currently work with. One I have known for years and another I’m close very with. We talk outside of school and have genuine friendships. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be inviting them. I mailed their save the dates and don’t talk about the wedding with those who aren’t invited. I think that part is super important!

I’m only inviting co-workers that I hang out with beyond the office setting.

I'm only inviting my Boss and her husband.

I’m struggling with this as well. I supervise 6 staff, 3 that I am very close whom I’m friends with that we socialize outside of work and 3 whom I’m inviting. We were once all just co workers but I got a promotion. I did consider inviting all with the thought that the other 3 would decline anyway to keep it fair but I’m still on the fence as I don’t want them fell guilted into coming.

I’m struggling with this as well! I’m closer with a few but others not so much, and so you invite their S.O?


Good luck!

I have three of my co-workers and their significant others and my fiancé has four co-workers and their spouses that we’re inviting. There are other co-workers that I would’ve invited but we limited to those that we talk with outside of work on a regular basis.
