Ok, so this is my problem. I have quite a few friends at work. Some I am really close with and others not so much...needless to say I get along with everyone and we all go out from time to time.
Here is my problem. I obviously can not invite everyone. How do I invite some and not others without offending anyone?
I personally would not be offended if i was not invited to a colleagues wedding. I know how expensive they can be. But is several other people and their spouses were invited I may be a little upset....
How do I avoid this?!?! Help Ladies!

| Invite 'em to the dance only. Make a second batch of invitations that invite them to the fun part of the night, at no major cost to you, your FH, or your family (whoever is footin' the bill). Advise them that it's "best wishes only" to avoid a tense situation regarding gifting... if that would be an issue with your co-workers (I wouldn't have a problem with my co-workers, but that's a personal thing). Then that way, everyone's been invited one way or another and there's no hurt feelings!

| I'm not a fan of the A list and B list and some ppl being invited to the whole day (ceremony, supper & dance) while others get only invited to the dance. That being said, I'll also say .. to each their own. Its not my wedding, therefore, what you do is your business. However, since it is YOUR wedding, why cant you invite who you want? Why do you have to worry about offending others? If they get offended .. oh well! Their issue to deal with. You know who you want there, and you know how many spaces you have available. Work with what you have and go with it. Forget about offending ppl. There will always be someone who doesnt like one aspect or another about your wedding. SO?????????? Are you out to please everyone else or yourself on your wedding day? Just because you work with 100 ppl doesnt mean you invite them all. You invite those you want there on your day. It's not rocket science ppl.
MrsMtobe ~Live and let live ~ Mod Squad Moderator 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!!!

Since I'm a manager I've only invited other managers. My staff will not be attending the event but most will come out for our Stag n Doe... I'm excited about that. They know our budget and guestlist issues so nobody was pushy... only 1 person is upset and got over it when he talked to another manager who explained that I had only invited managers.
