we are having our wedding about 100 miles away. is it a must that i invite the folks that i work for? when our wedding date arrives, i will have worked with them for 1.5 years. my opinion is that a wedding is a personal thing, but would it be rude to NOT invite them after knowing them for 1.5 years?

Depends.....do you go out with these people on average of once a week? Are you leaving out someone else becuase you might want to invite them.
Chances are that they dont wanna go to your wedding anyway. Maybe one of your co-workers might wanna go but your boss might not.

1. Keep work and your private life separate. I wouldn't even say anything until after the marriage is a done deal. Then you don't have to deal with the awkward gift-no invite issue.
2. If you invite co-workers, they may see, or overhear, some family information you would not want passed around at work, or elsewhere.
3. If you want to put together a little book of photos you would like them to see after the fact, do that.
Good luck and warm regards!

Well my mom invited her boss and co workers to her wedding. Although, one of them is my godfather. and my mom has a friendly realtionship with her boss since it's a small company and my mom had worked there for 8 years already. But whatever you feel comfortable with. I doubt they will be that offended if you don't. And it's not like in grade school were they ask you "why wasn't I invited"

Someone I work with was married about 2 years ago. She had been with us for about a year or so. She told us that she could not invite EVERYONE to the wedding (the entire staff of 32 people), so she wasn't inviting anyone. That was o.k. with us. It was her wedding and she could invite whomever she wanted.
You could tell your co-workers that you will not be inviting anyone and you don't intend to insult anyone. They should understand.

No it is not necessary to invite them. As a matter of fact many of them will probably be much happier if you don't. Then they do not have to worry about being rude to you because they really don't want to toake a whole day from their busy life to drive 100 miles for someone they hardly know.

i think its only nice to invite ur boss or sumone u r really close to. they may not come anyway but u done ur part. over here when sumone get married they always invite co-workers or bosses. its nice that the ppl u know b present for ur wedding day, its not like ur gonna tell ur secrets while reception is goin on. but than again this is only my opinion and no one shud force u to do sumthin u dont want. if u dont feel comfortable invitin them u shouldnt do so.
have a lovely wedding day. goodluck ;)

I don't think it is proper not to invite ur colleagues for your wedding. The best thing for you to do is to send them the invitation card as a gesture of their friendship.
As the wedding is 1000 miles away, I don't think that they'll come anyway !
:)

You don't have to invite your employers but if you are close to any of them, they may take offense. If you don't invite them, be sure not to invite others in their circle. A wedding is personal but people really get their panties in a wad about the invitations. Congratulations!

No you don't have to invite them. Maybe they even don't want to come at all. One of my colleagues is getting married this fall and, according to my "boss", at least one of us has to go there because it would be rude if none of us would show up. So someone she works with closely has agreed to go and she asked me to join her. I only do it to be nice. Not because I want to go and so does my colleague. So now two people are going to a wedding that they don't want to go to, just to be polite. I think nobody at your work would mind if you didn't invite them, really!

Since it is so far away, I'd say no. Maybe when you come back, have a small reception for them. If you feel like including them in your life. It depends on how social a job it is. For many of us, we work and go home and don't really think much about the co-workers in the meantime...
