Work colleagues!

Ooh I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling with this!

My team in the office is only 6 but there's one person I didn't really want to invite cos he's a complete nutter, but I can't exclude only him! Also I've met their partners at xmas parties before but not sure whether to invite them either.

Sorry I'm not any help!

Do you have any restrictions to the evening? If not, I'd probably just invite them all, safe in the knowledge they won't all come.

No no restrictions really in terms of numbers - we are no where near the max capacity so that's not a problem. I think I am going to have to then just invite them all and cross my fingers that they wont all turn up - the work xmas do will be the day before which makes it even less likely that they will anyway!

What Kharv said!

Im having the same concern, though unfortunatley for me I have a limit on numbers. (I can have up to 100 then its an extra £10 pp).

I dont want to invite people Im not particulary keen on, but its just difficult.

i think im going to go with the ones I want, but no partners. I dont know any of their partners and so I dont feel so bad about that, especially when they all know each other.

i think at the end of the day you just have to think, its your day, invite who you want and forget about the rest

Another vote for invite them all! Although I probably wouldn't invite their partners unless you know them/are close to them as they'll know enough work colleagues if they come. My OH has been invited to quite a few wedding evening dos through work just him and it's not been a problem. Don't know what you venue evening buffet is like but we've been told we only probably need to cater for about 50 per cent of our extra evening guest for buffet (day guest are already paid for) so doesn't work out too much more even if loads come!

Im only inviting 3 or 4 people from where i work and they are people my partner and I see outside of work. However there is a lady getting married next week and she has casually dropped into convo if your around you should pop in, I think she said that the whole place and then a manager who got married in April only invited the sites managers. In all circumstances I think what works for the couple is fine and people should accept it if you dont invite them I dont have restrictions for who i have in the evening because its at my OH parents house but i still wouldnt feel confortable having certain people there.

We are really restricted on numbers which means no work colleagues, but I feel so guilty about it because they've all been so lovely and supportive, they even bought me a special wedding planning book when I got engaged! Back to the OP, if you're not worried about numbers I'd invite them all, the wierd ones probably won't show up and you won't need to talk to them much if they do. I wouldn't invite partners unless you know them well. They'll probably just be touched to be asked ?
