Plus ones for work colleagues?

Thank you! That's good to know x

Maybe I’m being harsh but I’ve invited my friends with no plus 1’s! (With the exception of 3 of them)
I’ve told my kids they are allowed a plus 1 date but not friend!! (If they have partners by then) my partner is inviting friends/work colleagues with their partners tho (table of 10 in all) x

We have invited a few work colleagues from my work and FH's work. We have invited their partners. Its just I wouldn't like to go to a wedding without my partner, so we go by that basis. I also went to my colleagues wedding last year and she invited my FH.

Its personal preference really. If you have the space and budget then I think its nice to invite partners. It makes people feel more comfortable in my opinion and they are more likely to stay longer.

I completely get that, but we just don't have the space. I don't want to have to cut other people who we both know and are closer to just to fit in 5 extra people i've never met x

We’re not inviting work colleagues - I work from home and my FH works alone on site so we don’t really have colleagues to ask. We’ve offered evening guests a plus one (one actually messaged my FH and asked if she could bring 2 people!!) but it’s because they won’t really know anyone that well. If they all know each other and are invited as a group I can’t see why it would be a problem. x

We originally wanted a work free wedding for various reasons but my colleagues have presumed they're invited anyway so we've had a reshuffle and made space but we can't really justify the extra spaces for plus ones when they know each other there and we haven't met their partners 😫 x

I am inviting some of my colleagues for the day, with the remainder of my office in the evening. They know each other, so I am not including any plus ones.

However, I am inviting 3 former colleagues from a previous job and am offering them a plus one each. They won't know anybody else and think that would be best.

Depends on the situation. But as you've said, don't remove people you genuinely want there for 5 strangers.

View quoted message I have 9 work friends coming all day. 2 of them I am very friendly with their partners so they are coming also. I also have a bunch of work friends assuming they’re coming. Haha. It’ll be a large do if I invite the other 40 of them! 😂 as much as I love them I think they forget these things cost money and we have people other than work, but I do see these people more than my family. x

See i'm not particularly close to any of my colleagues anyway but I feel like if I dont invite them it will cause issues in the office 😫🤣 the guest list is a tough one! x

I don’t know if you’ve had a discussion with them. If they ask just say I’m not sure if funds or space will allow it. I think I read on here the other week Have a good think if you would have these people mix with your friends and family and your wedding is a special day. Not a work night out. That’s the one that got me thinking. x

They are all a lot older so I think it's expected from them to get an invite. We are okay with them coming to the evening, just don't really want them kicking up a fuss over the plus ones haha x
