I attended the wedding of an ex-co-worker/friend in November 2003. We no longer speak since I have changed professions but I feel obligated to invite her to my wedding. She currently works with friends who I plan on inviting to my wedding. I still plan on getting her a wedding gift although it has been 8 months and I wonder if that will suffice if I don't invite her. What can I do?
If you no longer work with this person nor keep in touch with her socially then you are under no obligation to invite her to your wedding, in fact, you are never OBLIGATED to invite anyone.
Why would you feel guilt? Has she contacted you since her wedding? When was the last time she called you? If the two of you have not tried to keep in touch then I would say your connection was work related and since you no longer work together there is no more relationship.

I completely agree with the Wedding Queen. In fact, you needn't feel guilty about the late gift either. You are not obligated to give a gift. All gift giving is optional.
Congratulations on your up-coming wedding.
