Inviting people from work

Hi everyone! I recently started a new job. My fiancé and I are trying to keep the wedding around 110-120, and we’re already inviting 140 guests, and that is without inviting everyone from my new job. There’s like 30 people that work here, and with plus ones, it’s be adding a lot of people. I’m just...
Hi everyone! I recently started a new job. My fiancé and I are trying to keep the wedding around 110-120, and we’re already inviting 140 guests, and that is without inviting everyone from my new job. There’s like 30 people that work here, and with plus ones, it’s be adding a lot of people. I’m just stressed because I love my new job and don’t want anyone getting upset / resent me for not inviting them. I have a hard time meeting new people, and I’m afraid this will shut down possibly creating new friendships. I know this might be a dumb post, but I’m uneasy about our decision not to invite everyone. Let me know your thoughts

    I would find it weird to be invited to the wedding of someone I just started working with, no matter how much I like them. Just limit the talk of your wedding at work and keep them off the guest list.

    You really don't have to invite them, especially if you don't hang with them outside of work. I'm only inviting a couple of people from our job. They are the ones that always invite us to stuff that they have. Other than that everyone else can view it on Facebook or Instagram.

    I'll join everyone and throw out my thoughts, I too think that you should just wait until time to send invitations before making any decisions. You might get really close to someone there over the next few months, that you really want at your wedding or you might decide you don't want any of them there. It's a bit too early to tell thought, I think.

    I dont think its appropriate to invite anyone that isn't close to you or a family friend. Weddings are very personal and supposed to be intimate not treated like a house party where you invite everyone you encounter. People may feel weird even getting an invitation if they are not close to you because they don't know you "like that" and especially feel out of place at your wedding since they dont know anyone either. Just skip guests that are not close to you or family.

    You're not required to invite them. I knew my coworkers for almost 2 years and only one attempted to come to my wedding (granted several had to work because my office is open 24/7).
