The Office

When creating your guest list, it can many times become tricky when dealing with colleagues and office staff. If you invite one close co-worker, will another be offended? Should you invite your boss even if you really don't care for her? You can't invite everyone (well, maybe you can, but most couples cannot!), but you also want to avoid hurt feelings. After all, after the honeymoon, you still have to do lunch with these people.

Follow these simple guidelines and inviting your office staff should be a little less stressful.

What is the climate of your office and how large is the office? Pinpointing the nature of your inter-office relationships can go a long way. Ask yourself these questions:

• Do you regularly interact and socialize outside of nine to five?
• Is your office or department close-knit and small (fewer than 5-7 people)?
• Is your working relationship with your direct supervisors or assistants particularly close?

If you can answer yes to any of those questions, your co-workers seem to be eligible for an invite. As a rule of thumb, if you work in a small office, it's best to invite all or none. In a larger office, you can safely invite your after-hours buddies, direct supervisors and assistants without suffering rolling of the eyes.
