Wording Wedding Invitations For Co-Workers
Friday, May 16th, 2008
Sometimes the work environment is fraught with obstacles. Often, upcoming weddings are a source for office excitement and gossip. But… how do you even begin to think about deciding on wording wedding invitations for co-workers.
When the entire office force goes as a group to a wedding of one of its members at or close to office hours, it is not expected that the husbands and wives of members of the office staff will be invited.
What if you only have a select few co-workers you want to invite to the wedding? It may be for budget reasons or you just don’t have a personal relationship with the entire office.

Don’t try to hide the fact that you’re getting married and that not everyone is invited.
Send the invitations to those you choose to invite… to their home addresses. Then prepare yourself for the questions.
If you try to keep a secret and it gets out people will be hurt by your actions. Tell anyone who is bold enough to ask, that you just can’t afford to invite everyone. Weddings are expensive and they should understand.
If you want to dull any embarrassing moments, think about holding an informal party for the entire office so they can share in the event.
It’s hard to be honest… but it’s always best.
Oh… and don’t do a handout at the office either… this is not only a breach of etiquette, but just plain tacky. It may cut your costs, but try to cut down on the invitations expensive additions before you start thinking about wedding invitations for co-workers “fliers”.
