We are having somewhat of a smaller wedding due to a small budget. I am a teacher and have a few close friends at work that I am inviting, but don't want to go overboard. Is it rude of me not to invite my principal and other administration, as well as some of my other colleagues that I interact with everyday? Is there a way for me to kindly ask the invited guests not to mention that they are invited to my other coworkers? I'm afraid of offending people...

Dear Kongaroo,
It is appropriate to invite only those with whom you are close. Please don't invite the principal unless you are close as it could appear as apple polishing.
Yes, you could ask them not to mention the invitations.

So what's the best way to word that without sounding desperate or rude?

Simply tell the invited friends that your wedding is going to be very small. Due to a limited guests list you had to choose just a few close co-workers. So, please don't mention the invitation in order to spare the uninvited's feelings. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
