I am having a small wedding/reception. Because there have been a lot of weddings in the past few months in my office, there is a lot of talk between the other ladies in the office about "who had what" and "how much so and so paid...", I want to keep my name & wedding out of that mix. One of the head gossip queens. whom I work & talk with daily, is under the assumption that she will be invited to my wedding. She is just really rude and can't wait to take some kind of gossip back to the rest of the hens!! Along with making rude comments about an all spanish ceremony, she has already asked me how much the dinner is costing me per person!! How do I let her know that I don't want her there?

I think she'll figure it our when the invitation doesn't arrive.
Seriously though, just let everyone know it will be a small wedding and only family and very close friends will be invited to to limited space, venue restrictions, or whatever excuse you can think of.
If she asks you point blank about cost, you can answer slyly, "Way too much" or something like that. Never tell her. She IS very rude to ask. Yuk. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

I completely agree. And, keeping out of gossip is a very good idea. It is a huge problem in the workplace. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
