The guest list

Helybel, 10 October, 2013 at 14:21 Posted on Planning 0 18

Couple of questions. Is everyone inviting their boss? Also I would love to invite some of the staff at work but I'm worried about hand picking people for day and evening. It would be far simpler to just invite everyone to the night do but would be nice to have some of them there. What's everyone else doing about colleagues/work friends?

    I work on a team of 12, I am close to most but have a very good friend who I also see out of work so I am inviting her and her Husband to the full day and then everyone else in the evening.

    I'm inviting my bosses & colleagues but only to the evening - mainly because I'm getting married on a Friday, they'd be nobody in the office! haha

    I think it depends on your relationship with your bosses & colleagues, if I was in my last job I certainly wouldn't invite anyone from work

    I'm only inviting work people to evening do. I'm part of a fairly small department and there's one person I really don't want to invite as he's a bit weird but I couldn't leave him out.

    There are a few people I'd like to invite in a different department but probably couldn't get away with only hand picking a few so I'm not bothering with those guys at all.

    Maybe invite a couple of close work mates to the day if budget allows, most people tend not to be too close to their boss so invite her/him to the evening do together with Sharon from accounts on the 3rd floor and Trev from.....

    None - but I am getting married a long way from work! I don't think I would anyway, they are colleagues, not friends

    Hi I would invite your actual work friends during the day if you normally see them out with work and if not only in the evening as if you left this employment would you see them again?

    I'm going to invite mine to the evening.

    My dilemma is that I get on really well with everyone in the VERY small company (6 staff members) I work for apart from one girl ho absolutely does my head in. I don't really want to invite her to the evening with the rest of the team but I can't miss her out as it would be a bit unfair on her. Dont know what to do.

    I'm inviting my work mates and boss to the evening do only as we're only having close family for during the day. We're a close and fairly small team and my boss is great so I'm looking forward to them all being there. It also gives us something to gossip about for a while afterwards too! I only changed departments last December and would love to invite some of the people that I used to work with but as someone else said, there are some that I really wouldn't want and don't feel comfortable hand picking just a few, especially since they're just in the office next door!

    I would love to invite my work friends but I have a big family so can't afford to have them all! Plus if I invite her I'll have to invite her etc etc! They are all coming to the evening do including some people who have left. I do feel bad but I'm sure they'll understand!

    We're not having an evening do, but even if we did I wouldn't invite anyone I work with. I like them - don't get me wrong - but bar about 2 people, I've never seen colleagues as friends. I like to draw a line! However, OH is inviting quite a few guys he's worked with, though as a freelancer he doesn't really have a boss to invite. Lucky him Smiley winking

    Right from the start i had said at work that down to numbers i cant invite everyone that i want to so bit hard. i invited 5 to be there at ceremony, who i am really close to and known for ages. then invited some more to the evening. i felt bad about not invitiing a lot including a couple of managers who close too but then it be like invited one so got to do them all, but they all said it was fine and that understand family comes before work friends. (i work in retail, store with like 300 staff). they all seen some photos and cannot wait for the official album.

    I worked with a bunch of arses so it was great that I changed jobs 7 weeks before the wedding. So the girl I worked with most closely there came to the whole thing, and I invited my new department (just 5) but not my boss to the evening. Worked perfectly for me. Would have been very awkward at the old place if I had omitted everyone.

    In my case I do like all my work colleagues and we go out for girly nights etc, my boss is a laugh too. there's about 12 of the 20 I work with I would happily have at my day do, however, with partners that's then 24 so two more tables lol, don't think we can afford to feed them all! I'm marrying on a Saturday but where I work we do work Saturdays so some would be working, just not sure which yet. I think an evening invite to all may the best way to do it. If everyone on our primary guest list comes that's already approx 75.

    Toying with inviting my boss and the guy I work most with; as I work in a satellite office on my own, I don't really get to see anyone else that often. and we're getting hitched on a Friday, so they'd all have to be at work! Smiley smile

    One of my lovely bridesmaids is technically my 'boss'. Then a handful of colleagues are coming to the evening do.
