Maryland Wedding - Do I Have To Invite Coworkers?

One of the early decisions to be made when planning your Maryland Wedding is the guest list. You might feel pressure to invite people you wouldn’t otherwise invite in order to be polite.

Do we really have to invite coworkers?

You might spend more time with them than you do with your family, friends, or your own partner. So, does that mean you need to invite your entire office to your Maryland wedding—and double your budget?

You should never feel obligated to invite anyone to your wedding including your boss and your coworkers. The easiest way to avoid any drama is to not invite any coworkers at all to your wedding.

If you consider some of your coworkers to be friends and everyone knows it, then there should be no problem inviting just them. Just do not hand them their invites at work or make a big deal out of it so nobody's feelings get hurt.

The best way to keep any awkwardness at bay is to simply not bring up your wedding around anyone who isn’t on the guest-list—which could get challenging since work is a place where a lot of wedding planning occurs and; a great place to complain about wedding stress.

Remind yourself that if you are not going to involve your coworkers at your wedding, you should not subject them to the stress of planning either.

Invite people at work because you like them. Invite them because they are great friends to you. Invite a coworker because they are like family and you cannot imagine your wedding day without them.

Do not invite them because you feel pressured, or worried things will be awkward if you don’t, or stressed about making someone feel left out. It is that simple, and do not let anyone convince you otherwise! Of course, if you have a small office and everyone is close, use your judgment. But no, there is no actual obligation here.
