we're just inviting our friends. weddings are so expensive and they're your special day. you shouldn't invite someone you don't really want there. it's not like an elementary school birthday party. |

All the co-workers I invited to my wedding I am not friends with. So keep that in mind. |
|
That's so true. We moved after we were married and we only keep in touch with one co-worker who wasn't invited to the wedding. Don't worry, he doesn't hold a grudge :) |

Invite as many people as her parents can afford! |
|
Yeah. Its your wedding. You are paying for it. You are the one who will remember it forever. people will eventually forget they weren't invited and if they don' then you don't want them as a friend anyway. |

It's really hard not to invite people. I don't want to be rude. but I also don't want to be the girl who invites everyone just for the presents. But I can't afford to invite everyone from work. |
|
Elope! No, I'm joking around. We invited the colleagues who were close friends but didn't worry about making it a social event for the entire workplace. |

Any present awkwardness about not inviting people will probably be forgotten in a year. But it gets sticky if you're really picking and choosing people. I would say either go all out or not at all. Thoughts? |

I don't agree that it should be all or nothing. I'm getting married soon, and although I am friendly with many people in my office, I simply cannot afford to invite everyone. I do have several people who I consider myself close to, as either mentors or friends, and I'm not comfortable leaving them out. Besides, I think it's very rude and presumptuous to be be offended about not being invited to someone's wedding. I'm not sure who these people are who are able to host weddings without regard to the cost, but that's not the reality for most people. |

Remember that episode of The Office where Pam sent out her invites and didn't send one to Angela? Well, we all know that Angela is a crazy bitch, but not including the crazy co-worker could create problems. I agree with Alex--it's an all or nothing kind of thing. Either invite everyone, or don't invite anyone at all because you're bound to hurt some feelings if you decide to go with the in between route. |
A friend of mine just got married and invited only a handful of co-workers to her wedding. For weeks, the office scuttlebutt was all about who got invited and who got dissed. Should you invite co-workers to your wedding? Is it worth the office fallout? How do you decide who's in and who's out?
Did you invite co-workers to your wedding? Why or why not? How did that work out for you?
