I'm not inviting anyone from work.. Dan is inviting a few people.. but they are more friends than anything else, so we don't look at them like the people from Dan's work.. so..

Someone told me to invite only your boss... if you want to... and any co-workers that you associate with OUTSIDE of work.  That narrowed my list from 30 to 5+dates.  I am going to mail the invitations to thier homes as well instead of handing them out in the workplace, I hope it'll prevent some hurt feelings.

FH did not invite his staff. Only his colleauges.

I invited my colleagues that I've been close to over the years. It's my day and if anyone is upset that they didn't get an invite-then so be it!

yikes your boss! I wouldn't do that. She is great and we get along but I don't think I would want her to see 'my world' outside of work.

I like the advice to invite people you work with but also hang out with outside of work.

I think that is a very smart move to mail them and not hand them out at work. It will prevent some hurt feelings!! Kudos!!

The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.

Making the decision to have a child-it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.

The mother's heart is the child's schoolroom.

To understand a mother's love, bear your own children.

Mother is the name for God on the lips& in the hearts of little children.

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.

Mrs. M and loving it!!!

well as silly as this may sound we are going to have and A and B list, but different than most.  WE Cannot go under 80 guests, our venue will not allow, so A list is the closest friends and family.  B list is the list of people we want to envite but can't because of cost constraints.  Sooo as a decline comes back to us a new invitation goes out.  Sounds lame, but I was on a co-workers 'b' list 2 years ago and I did not mind.  95 plates are paid for and if only 90 show up the family still pays for 95.  I have no problem filling one of those seats myself.
