anyone not inviting work colleagues?

I am in a similar situation. I am part of a small team, but will not be inviting any of them to the wedding. Not because I don't like them, just because I am restricted on numbers. However, I have a couple of friends at work who I will be inviting, although they are not on my team! So yes, I am expecting awkwardness!

I don't have work colleagues, but I have been a bit picky with mums at the school. There are some I consider friends and socialise with regularly, some I consider as not best friends but people I really lkke and want to come to the evening and there are some who I talk to, but wouldn't want to be closer to and haven't invited. I hadn't thought that this would be awkward until I gave an invitation to a friend the other day, very quietly and as discretely as possible because there were some others around that we're not inviting!! It did feel a bit uncomfortable but you can't invite everyone can you!

I aren't inviting any work colleagues due to the fact we are having a fairly small wedding with only 50 guests - I do feel a bit awkward about it, especially as I have a colleague on my shift who is getting married a month after me and is inviting people from work!

Its a bit awkward already for me at work as I talk about the wedding quite a bit! I have decided that we will invite 2 of my closest colleagues to the full day, but the rest just to the evening do. The wedding is more than 2 hours away from where I work but I figure if they really want to come they will, and could maybe make a weekend of it. My OH is inviting a few of his colleagues to the full day, but he is closer to them than I am to my colleagues.

I'm not inviting any work colleagues or uni friends. I don't see either group outside work/uni enough to consider it a friendship rather than just being acquaintances! Both parties have asked where their invite is, to which I reply 'I'm restricted on numbers' which gets them off my back pretty quick (and is true). My OH is inviting work friends though as he does see them out of work as well.

I am inviting my colleagues to the evening reception, I would have invited them all to the whole day if numbers/budget allowed as I am quite close to all of them and see several of them outside work quite regularly. However if I had any intentions of leaving my job I would only invite the ones I felt I would stay in touch with once I'd left.

I'm not inviting anyone from work either, but it's not by choice; I work in a shop which is open 7days a week, we're only a small team so only 1, maybe 2 at the most would be able to come to the wedding. It's upset me quite a bit, I relocated from my hometown to live with my OH, so apart from my work friends I don't really have any other close friends where we live. One of the other girls I work with is getting married next year too, so we spend a lot of time talking weddings, so annoying that we won't get to see each other's big days! :-(

I am inviting 2 collegues that I hang out with outside of work, the rest of the crazy loons will be invited to the evening, I love my collegues and have to have them there hehe!

I have been thinking about this recently too, I would like to invite them all to the evening do. I'm not sure if I should include partners though as I've never met any of their partners and we don't socialise outside of work. I'm hoping they will all just come as a group.

I am inviting some people from work but not others. The people I have invited, I have mentioned that I'm not inviting everyone from work, so hopefully they understand not to go shouting about it. However, if certain people realise I am inviting some but not others then I'm sure they will kick off or *** about me, but that's life. You could always say you're tight on numbers, or that you didn't think they would want to come as you don't see them outside work?

It's a hard one isn't it, I think I will be discreet when giving my invites out. Thanks ladies for all your opinions xx

I'm inviting 2 of my colleagues to the church and then a select few to the evening do, the rest I'm not bothered about.

It depends where we get married but if it is at home. We will both invite those colleagues we are friends with but only to the evening bit. But I'm not that bothered

I am only giving them evening invites, in all fairness I'm only inviting 2 people, but potentially I could have changed jobs by the time the wedding rolls round and that would just be extra awkward! My evening invites aren't going out till quite close to the wedding but obviously they are aware of the date. There's always going to be someone you'll annoy but hey its YOUR wedding!

I have invited a select few people from work but only to the evening reception. I work on a team of about 8 people & my team leader keeps openly asking where the teams invites are. I know she is trying to wind me up but it still makes me feel awkward every time. Problem is that I do want to invite some people from the team but feel like I would have to invite everyone.

I work in a small team with a couple of guys. We have only been out once or twice outside of work in the 4 years that i've worked here.

We are very open so I told them that I would invite them but I knew they wouldn't come so i'll just save us all the effort :p
