There is a girl at my workplace who is getting married and has made it quite clear to everyone that she only wants to invite 2 people that we all work with to her wedding. She apparently doesn`t like any of the rest! (this is also something that she has made clear to some people) She claims that she can`t afford to invite the rest, but is spending extravagantly on things for herself and her fiance, or at least appears to be. This isn`t a young greedy person either, it is a woman in her 40`s(first wedding) This has caused quite an upset in the workplace now that the 2 people who are invited to the wedding want to throw her a shower. People feel that this is just a gift grab!! What is appropriate in this case??? There seems to be a lot of resentment going on and the person hosting the shower is angry at everyones response. It is a small workplace and we need to resolve this ASAP. We had started a fund for a group gift prior to the shower invite. Please help!!!
Most times co-workers are not invited to wedding, unless they are close friends. However, the invitations shouldn't be flaunted and she really should not be flaunting her wedding plans either. But, you cannot control her actions, only your own. Again, she's not obligated to invite her co-workers and she really doesn't owe any explanation of why she isn't inviting the "gang" at work, unless, again, she is a close friend to all of you. So, how she chooses to spend her money or what wedding plans she's making isn't really a concern for you.
A workplace shower is the only shower where guests who are not invited to the wedding are invited so the shower is appropriate. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
