    Im umm'ing and arrrr'ing about who to invite from work to my evening do.

    I leave my current job at the weekend but have pretty good friendships with most of the girls there, ive invited most to my evening do but there is a couple im not really keen on inviting!

    Also ones my manager? i mean i know i leave on friday and she will no longer be my boss but should i ask her?

    I dont know what to do though as ive pretty much invited everyone else would it be mean not to invite the 4 odd people i havent asked?

    Im planning on handing them the invites tomorrow & friday before i leave as i dont know when ill get over again.

    I feel really bad not asking some people but inviting others?

    I only invited my work colleagues I got on with well which was only two of them, no one seemed to get a face on... but some people can get a bit funny about it. Invite who you want too xx

    I agree with the others - it's your day and not everyone will be able to make it if it's a workday - the company still has to run. Invite those you are closest to and want there, and remember that you're not obligated to invite anybody you don't want to.

    I didn't invite my work colleagues because i didn't know them very well at the time. Don't feel your obliged to invite someone just because you work with them

    I have the same problem, I work in a resisdental home with adults with learning difficulties, I want to invite the staff apart from one who my partner really does not like! When talking about it with a lady I work with she accidently mentioned it to two guys we support who were sitting with us having a coffee so hoping by 2015 they will forget? Or you know have left by then!

    But yeah just invite who you want, its your big day not theres, if they don't like it then tough! Not like your going to see them again!

    It's your wedding and you won't be there any more so you shouldn't feel you need to. It's your wedding and just a few extra will be an extra cost x x

    I had the same issue but decided to just invite those who I am closest to. I got around it by putting STD's in their xmas cards so everyone still got a xmas card its just some had some extras. I hand delivered the ones with STD's in and just left others for people to pick up. With the invites I think im gonna have to go into work at a specific time to hand them out coz I start maternity leave in 2 weeks anad will be sending invites out whilst im off. Will be a good excuse to take baby in to meet everyone tho :)

    At the end of the day you have to draw the line somewhere. I have invited people from work but not some of my cousins coz I havent spoken to cousins for so long and I work regularly with the same people at work. Think of your budget and stick to it xxx
