Inviting Co-workers


Recommended Posts

Just go with what your gut is telling you :)

I dont think there is a wrong why to handle this.

I know how people can get their feeling hurt, so just try to tell the ones you do invite to keep the information about your wedding private to create a happier work enviroment :) The less drama the better!!

 

I work in a small office as well ( 8 people and 10 contact event employees), I talked to my Head Boss about my wedding and how to handle not inviting everyone. (I'm sending off my save the dates soon so people can start making there vacation plans). She understood, after all she has a business to run and everyone cant take time off from work and shut the office down to attend my wedding. Not to mention we have a policy that no more than 2 people from our office can be on vacation at the same time. She just told me to be honest with everyone, that I would love for everyone to attend, but due to the cost we are only having close friends and family. I'm actually only invited 2 girls from my office (who are sisters) and 2 of our contract event employees. I did have a few girls tell me that they would not be attending but would love for me to send them an STD/invite, just to have it as a keepsake :)... I will be happy to bring them a invite with my extra invitations that I'm not going to use :)

I'm a nurse and know that most (or maybe none) of the girls are actually going to make the trip in December for our wedding but I will be inviting all of them. This won't be seperate invitations though, I'm bringing one invitation in and my manager is hanging it in our breakroom. The girls are throwing me a shower so I wanted to let them know they are all welcome.

I would post the inviation or std in the lunch room. When they realize that it is a destination wedding mostly likely they will not want to come because of the extra expense like passport hotel. Only the ones that truly are your friend will actually come. No one will feel excluded and you may actually get a gift!!!

Hi Amelie-Mellow. I have the same problem...But since I only have a limited number of wedding invitations, I am going to post one (1) invitation outside of my cube wall for all of my many coworkers to read. I have lots of coworkers and I know for certain that some of them would be offended if they did not receive an invitation. I will have more leeway with the AHR invitations so my cube wall, everyone on my team, plus a few friends in other departments will get one of those. At the end of the day, you probably should only extend a personal invitation (including verbally) to the co-workers who you are closest to and absolutely know would really want to attend. I mean really want to attend…because they care about you as a person.

That sounds like a great idea I work with about 60 people and had no clue how to handle it!!
Thanks.smile36.gif

I am having the same problem. I know working in an office it can be difficult but in all honesty if you don't want them there than don't send an invite. If anything, maybe co-workers will throw you a shower and they can attend that instead.

 

Everyone understands nowadays that money doesn't grow on trees and if you could you would invite everyone but there has to be a limit somewhere.

 

Hope you get your answer :)

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
