I just found out that my work place is throwing me a bridal shower!
I am inviting a few people that I work with closely but not everybody but do I have to invite everyone now?
oops im sorry please let me rephrase the question
they’re throwing me a bridal shower at work….which im appreciative of..but do i have to invite them to the wedding (all of them?) im inviting only a few people to the wedding that i work closely with.
i don’t have the budget to invite everyone from work to my wedding/reception

you are not under any obligation to invite them to your wedding, and i seriously doubt they would expect you to.
over the years i have been to countless bridal showers for the girls at work and rarely, if ever, do any of us expect to be invited to the wedding. its just a nice way for your workmates to show you they are happy for you, and its always fun to have a bit of a ‘do’!
some of the brides over the years have posted notes saying "the wedding is at 2 at christ church cathedral if you would like to come to the service we would love to have you there".
some brides have gone so far as to when they get back from their honeymoon they bring in cake/whatever to celebrate their return.
what many of the ‘office’ brides have done, and the girls always love, is brought in wedding photos for everyone to see, and the odd time the brides have included a wedding photo in the thank you cards, but other than that sweetie no one is going to expect anything more or be disappointed if not invited.
so relax, enjoy your shower, and let them know how much you appreciate their efforts!
It is your SHOWER, so you don’t HAVE to do anything… Just like a wedding… invite people you want there … THE END
no you dont people dont feel that way about havin to invite everyone if the your friend they will understand and prob bring or give you a gift anyway
In my opinion no, it isn’t necessary. While it is very nice of them to throw you one you are not obligated to invite them although it would be a lovely gesture considering they are deciding to through you a shower. If it is not in the budget do what I am doing….I explained to my coworkers via email that I am on a very tight budget but if any one decides they want to come celebrate with us they are welcome to come to the ceremony and arrive after dinner for the reception. Some people may think it is tacky but my co workers were very open and understanding to the idea and a lot of them are coming after dinner to the reception. Whatever you decide to do I wish you the best on your upcoming marriage. Good Luck! :0)
No, that is part of why they are going to throw you the shower so that your co workers can celebrate with you. Send thank you notes but no need to send invitations.
No I am sure that they understand. My mother is a nurse and throws parties for her colleagues wedding showers even though she isn’t invited to their weddings.
They just want to congradulate you and celebrate with you about such a happy day.
NO, and they might not come to both. I only invited two people from my work to my wedding and they came to the work shower- not the home one. I didn’t invite anyone else because I couldn’t- we didn’t have the room.
People understand you can’t invite everyone!
If your co-workers are throwing a bridal shower for you and they are going to spend for it, then they have all the right to invite whoever they want. But of course, if they will ask you to invite other people aside from those they are inviting, then you can do so.
If your "work place" is throwing you a shower, there should be someone else in charge of making sure the word gets out. It depends on how big your office is if everyone will need to be invited or not, but this is probably something that the hostess (or whomever is in charge) will be taking care of. Have fun!
IT IS YOUR WEDDING INVITE WHO YOU WANT JUST LET THEM COME TO THE RECEPTION
No, you don’t have to invite everyone from work to your wedding. People understand that sort of thing. That’s very nice of them to give you a shower at work.
Enjoy!
If they chose to throw you a shower on their own, then no, you do not have to invite all of the to the wedding. That was their choice, not yours.
No you don’t have to invite everyone to your wedding. My workplace is throwing me a shower too and they all know weddings are expensive. My co-worker sent an email out to everyone to invite them. It’s a pot luck. So if anything people can stop by, say hello, eat, and they don’t need to bring us gifts. It’s just up to them and not expected. Your friends will bring gifts more than likely but people you don’t assosiate with all that often probably won’t bring gifts. And that’s ok to!
Most people understand that space at weddings is limited- either because of budget or just space. Most also understand that family and closer friends come first..and if there is room for them- Hooray! If not, oh well they’ll see the pictures. The people from work will understand. They might be a little upset that the person in the next cubicle is going and they are not, but they will get over it.
plus not everyone that comes to the shower goes to the wedding and vice versa….
My husband didn’t want to invite anyone from his job because he didn’t want to invite some and then not the others. Two years later I regret that. He works with some great people that I would have loved to spend my special day with…
So make sure you have the people that you want there…and the others will understand…
No you do not have to invite everyone but be sure you send them a thank you card.
