    I'm planning on having a small wedding so I plan on inviting a few friends from work.  However, I don't plan on inviting the colleagues and two bosses in my unit. I like them a lot as co-workers and bosses but I don't think I would feel comfortable having them at my wedding because we don't have a close relationship outside of work.  I hope that doesn't come off as being rude or having poor etiquette.  Thoughts anyone?

    How large is your office?  If you have a larger office, I don't see any problem with it at all.  I completely understand only wanting to invite people that you have a relationship outside of work!

    I'm a firm believer in inviting those close to you.  If others are not close to you and you're having a small wedding, it would be asinine of them to not understand the difference!

    My Branch has around 100 people and around 6 units.  There are around 9 people in my unit.  For some strange reason, I don't feel comfortable having them at my wedding.

    Your guestlist is completely your choice!  So, if you don't want to invite them you don't have to.  For my wedding, I got lucky because my co-workers had another wedding the same day as mine for one of their previous co-workers and since I was never they went to hers...that was a-ok with me! :)
