Inviting coworkers

Hi! I am not 100% sure what to do in regards to inviting my coworkers to my wedding. I work in a veryyyy small office were talking 17 on a good day. Im close with almost everyone there aside from a couple guys who work in the warehouse. I feel like extending the invitation to anyone who would like to come. My reasoning is because of how small the office is I don't want people to think I'm excluding them. I can pretty well already formulate a list in my mind of the ones who won't come and I'm good with that. I still feel that inviting all is the best way to go, and it's truly no sweat off our backs inviting them, id be so pleased to share our day with them! Has anyone else gone through this?? Thoughts? Thank you!

    We will give them a plus 1, no one will be bringing their child as most people here have grown children. We do have the room for sure!

    My Husband was in the same boat (my work has over 100 though so we hand picked my friends) - and we just extended an invite to everybody that provided an address for us to mail the invite to. In the end there were a couple that didn't give us that info after we asked via text or msg that was written down and not verbal and they just didn't get an invitation. Not everybody came but it felt good knowing that nobody was excluded.

    Rule of thumb for co-workers in wedding etiquette is all or none, especially in a small environment. I definitely think if you want to invite more than 1/3 of your coworkers then it’s best to invite them all. Smiley smile

    You seem to have the space and availability for the co workers to attend, to do.

    I was close to a few co workers that were invited to the wedding and half showed up which 1 gave a gift after going back to work. All except for 1 of hubby's co workers attended though 2 could have been avoided for the most part. 2 of them being MOHs and the others really could have saved the effort of inviting (whom I don't like personally).

    Yes, our budget and guest list have room for sure. That's a really great way of looking at it! At least they can hang out together rather than feel awkward!

    Thanks so much!

    I was in a similar situation. FH and I both work for the same company, which is run by my grandfather and uncle of which my grandmother and best friend also work at. Apart from that, there's another 7 people that work here too. We would've gladly invited 4 of them and their significant others, but 2 of the others said certain things that made FH and I uncomfortable when talking wedding plans. So we opted to just not invite any co-workers since we didn't want to start any bad blood, which was the better option for us I think since we wanted to keep the guest list under 60 anyway and inviting all co-workers and spouses would've upped the head count too much.

    The deciding factor tends to be budget in these scenarios. If your budget will allow it, go for it!
    We both used to work in a small place (11 people) so we were in a similar scenario. The thing was our budget wasn’t too forgiving so to weed down coworkers, I only invited the ones we hung out with outside of work. That trimmed it from 11 to 4.

    If there's room in the budget and on the guest list is say go for it.


    The nice thing about inviting them all is that they can hang out with each other instead of inviting one or two and having them not know anyone in the room.
