Work colleagues' invites

I'm in a pickle...

I was going to invite all the nurses at work and their hubbys to just the evening do, apart from two girls who I'm good friends with and their children have socialised with my nieces. One of their children will be my 3rd FG.

Anyhoo. That seemed simple enough, and people were understanding.

However, one of my friends (not the FG's mum) has moved departments and we're not so close now. Plus to make matters more complicated, I am getting quite good friends with one of the domestics (who is into VWs etc) and am starting to meet up with her outside of work.

So my question (baring in mind that the invites will go out in Jan but I'm trying to sort my list so i know how many invites to make) is this:

Who do I invite to the day and who to the evening? Should I stick with the blanket evening invite to the evening do and maybe only invite FG's mum to the day? Or would it be ok to step my new-ish friend to a day invite?

I hate all the politics over invites and usually over-think things, but I have got this wrong before and I don't want to upset/hurt anyone

I'm in the same situation as you, I have invited my whole ward to the evening (minus partners though as it would cost me 300 extra to invite them as well and I couldn't stretch to that!) but the are 4 staff I am closest to are invited to the whole day. Think as there is only a minority invited to the day do it works ok. I was also quite discreet when handing out invitations and no one seems to have had a problem yet.

I would have said maybe see how things are closer to the time, because like you say, its all politics. I invited my whole team to the evening do, and now we have 5 more people in the team and i dont know whether to invite the new ones!

If you are still close to the new-ish friend in 3 months time then yes, invite her, but you dont wanna invite her and then in 6 months you dont speak. x

I think if you are unsure you should wait and make the decision closer to the time. To avoid the invite making problem calculate the maximum that you need if all invited and make that amount.
