Inviting co workers to wedding

I work with about 85 people on my floor. It’s awkward because everyone knows it’s coming up and keeps wanting to talk about it, but I’ve only invited the 10 closest coworkers of mine hah

I think it’s totally acceptable not to invite everyone you work with. I agree with Amelia though, if you want to invite coworkers it’s better to invite only a few rather than leaving out only a few. It’s also good etiquette to avoid discussing your wedding with the people you’ve invited in front of others that weren’t invited.

It's really about who you want at your wedding. I'm at a fairly small office of 10 people, and most of us are really close so we ended up including everyone.

I only invited 1 of my coworkers since I hang out with her regularly outside of work. Every now and then there are group outings for all coworkers but I still wouldn't consider that wedding level of friendship.

Inviting co workers is fine and the ones you find that are close to you. Your guest list and budget is what your aiming to fit the number wanted. If your tight and can't include them, then reconsider and have a lunch after the wedding with them and your fiancé come out. This may be the solution if it works.

I have about 100 people at my work, interact with about 20, but only invited my coworkers that I see outside of work. If you don't have a friendship with them (different than a working relationship), then I wouldn't invite them. I'm sure they will be fine without an invite as long as you make sure to share pics!

(DH works with about 12 people and is friends with about 10 of them so we just invited everybody.)

I'm not inviting a lot of coworkers. If I see them outside of work or if I would be fine picking up the tab at a restaurant if I went out with them then I will invite them.

I have about the same amount in my department, and I went with "only if I see them outside of work" as the rule, same with Corey. So for me that is 1 co worker + her husband, and for FH that is quite a bit more as most of our friends are his co workers. Just be discreet about the invites and maybe ask that those co workers not speak about it to much at work? That being said, its your wedding and you shouldn't have to invite everyone you work with at all.

We picked and chose who were inviting from work. im not inviting everyone from my office cuz i know if i left the office i wouldnt talk to those people. im only inviting my close office friends

Our rule was that they had to be coworkers we saw outside of work in order to be invited (we also have a very small guest list). People are pretty understanding of this so you likely won’t cause drama if you only invite a select few.

I don't think anyone would expect you to invite the whole office. I don't think you need to explain why you aren't doing that, either. Invite the people you spend time with outside of work and leave it at that. I work in an office of 50+ people and have invited 6.

When working for a bigger company I would personally invite only those you are close with.

I think it’s fine to invite only those youre close with. That’s what I did and my floor is way smaller.


I gave the invites to the people I wanted when no one else was around to avoid awkwardness

From what I've read online, if you can see yourself taking those people out to lunch or spending time together outside of work it's ok.


I would speak to them so they know the whole office isn't invited so no feelings get hurt. To me inviting 5 of 50 is better than 45 of 50, a select few sounds better than excluding a select few.
I work with about 30 and my plan is to invite about 20 who I spend time with or can actually picture coming. I actually had someone bring this up today and that was my answer!
