My co workers held a bridal shower for me the other day. I was mixed between inviting them or not but we are also a very small department so everyone knows all about the wedding. I'm feeling obligated to invite them but should I send each a formal invite or just do like a sign up sheet? My budget will allow for inviting them but I don't know how.

If you like your co-workers and would like for them to come and share your special day, invite them. You should send them an individual invitation. But if you don't like one person in the group, then don't invite any. It will cause bad feelings and you don't have to feel obligated to invite anyone, just because they had a party.

For those whom you wish to invite, send or give them an invitation just like other guests. Don't feel obligated to invite everyone, even though they were at the shower.

Do NOT feel obligated to invite your co-workers.BUt if you are going to invite them, invite them in the same manner that everyone else was invited. Proper ettiquette. ANother idea is to invite them to the reception, if you would like to keep the wedding to close family and friends.

I am in the same situation. I came to the conclusion that I would not invite my co-workers because my only association with them is through work. However, if I had friendships with them outside of work, I would invite them.

maybe, do a sign up sheet and than send them a formal thank you card. I say this because even if its in your budget sending invites to 50 ppl in one building is pointless when you can send one invite to them all. Good luck and congrats

Unless you are regular friends outside of work, I wouldn't suggest it.
That was nice of them to throw you a shower, but it's not required that they come. If you feel that it's important for them to come, then send them a formal invitation. That's my advice at least.
Don't feel obligated, however. It's not worth worrying about at this point. It's your wedding; not theirs!

You are not obligated to invite your coworkers to your wedding. You can ask around to see who would be interested, or you can just invite them to the reception. You can keep the wedding itself for your friends and family. A lady I used to work with invited me and my bf to her reception. She told me that even though she would love to invite us to the wedding, she preferred to have it just be family and friends there. I thought that was really nice of her to tell me like that.

It's really up to you. It created a fiasco for me. I invited everyone and it was hard to ask in a tactful way to get a response of who was coming. I gave my co worker the responsibility, who was also a bridesmaid, to find out that info for me. It was really tough.

Do individual invitations. I think that would make them all feel that you are sincere in inviting them to your wedding.

invite them if you want. it is your wedding. but please- don't do a sign up sheet- that is really tacky. it sends the wrong message- like you don't really care if they come or not- like they're not really invited. please send a formal invite if you decide that you'd like them to be there.
