Hi all, it would be greatly appreciated if I could get some advice here. I am currently planning for the guest list and I do not intend to invite all my colleagues (partly because I do not have enough tables and also due to the fact that I am close to only a handful of people in the office). I was advised that I should invite all my colleagues or none at all to avoid any displeasure that might arise amongst those who are not invited. I really have no intentions of "offending" anyone. Please help.
Dilemma over Guest List
- Thread starter lucky19
- Start date
Fact is - the HR assistant overheard my conversation with the wedding co-ordinator at the hotel some time back about the confirmation of the venue. She came to ask if I was getting married and I told her the truth because it would be a matter of time that she will find out as she is in HR however she went around the office to spread the news of my wedding which is causing me some stress now.

Why stress?? getting married doesn't mean u need to invite everyone. Once again, which person doesn't understand that? If a person is offended by that, then this person, you probably don't need to bother cos, they are too sensitive over their own feeling and numb to others. They will get upset over anything.
Do you need to keep it a secret over your marriage? I don't get you.

Just invite those colleagues that you are close with.. it is absolutely fine. I wonder why you would lose sleep over such.
Some may be happy to "siam" the red summons..
It is not logical to expect to invite "all colleagues" - if you company has 10000 employees then you invite all of them?

It's once of a lifetime. Invite who you like. Nobody in the right mind will be offended just because she or he is not close enough with you to be invited.
Put it this way, if they are not close to you and you invite them...
"OMG, I don't even know her well and I have to pay ang bao and waste my time at the wedding dinner..."
Most people won't get offended over such things.
Besides, in real life... you can't expect everyone to like you.
So just invite those who are close to you. How many wedding do you expect to have in your lifetime?
