very often second weddings are very small affairs so it is not so strange that you were not invited, perhaps only a few people were. if everyone in your office was invited and not you, that would be noteworthy. if your upcomiing wedding is your first one and you would like to invite him by all means do. my best friend owns a business and has many employees and as owner she is often invited to weddings and such and has a policy of sending a great present but does not go as she does not want to mix personal lives with business. so if he does not go it may be because he feels the same way.

Usually second marriages are smaller more intimate ceremonies with just family and a few friends. Have you found out that he had a big wedding? Then, I guess I would be a little hurt. If he indeed had a small ceremony and reception, then don't let it bother you. Even if he did have a big wedding, maybe he is wanting to separate work colleagues and friends. Also, some "bosses" feel unsure of how to handle social situations like weddings. Maybe he didn't want to make you feel that you "had to come" or, since it was a second marriage, to buy him a gift, so he chose to not invite you.
You must like working for him if you have been there for 18 years, so, I would say, "yes", invite him to your wedding. Good luck!

Um seriously who are you? You are just his employee so why in the world should he invite you to his personal life like that? It would be something if your family friends or something. I guess it would be a bit understanding then. But seriously why in the world should your boss invite his employee to something that is seperate from work? And no I don't think you should invite him to your wedding. Again you have to realize here that personal life and work are two seperate things. You starting intermingling the two and then there are lines that have been crossed that sometimes you can't go back from. So for now leave work where it belongs and new wife where she belongs unless its a company christmas party. But anything else no.

If you consider him a friend and would like him at your wedding then invite him. Sometimes people are on a budget, sometimes people want small weddings, or sometimes the bride does all of the planning so the groom doesn't get much say in who to invite. There's many reasons why you might not have been invited. It doesn't mean he didn't want you there.

Bottom line... do you want him there? If the answer is yes... invite him - if not - don't or just invite him to the ceremony if that is an option. When compiling your guest list, picture yourself 5, or 10 years from now looking through your wedding album - will that guest still be a part of your/spouse's life? Will you remember who they are? If the answer to either of those questions is no - don't send the invite.

Since a wedding is a social, not business occasion, you invite your boss only if you know him socially, outside the workplace. Ask yourself "If I were giving a party for 40 people, would my boss be one of them?" If you don't think so, then you probably shouldn't invite him. It would look like you were "fishing for" presents.

How long you have worked for him and whether he invited you to his wedding isn't what you base it on. Do you want him (and his wife I would suppose) at your wedding and is there enough room (have you already filled your quota of invited guests)? That's how you make your decision.

Ignore the fact he didn't invite you to the wedding, it is irrelevant.
If YOU want to invite him, go for it.
I have not invited anyone from my work to my wedding.

I don't believe in tit for tat so I would be the bigger person here and invite him. After all he has been the one to sign your paychecks for the last 18 years..

I don't think he considers you a friend. I would not invite him to my wedding.
