not inviting colleague for wedding dinner...

[magrit]

anyone in the same scenario?

due to limitation on the seating i choose not to invite them... but should i buy something for them since i know they will be preparing a gift for me?

if so, what should i buy? cakes?

[twiggy02]

maybe you could get cupcakes and give them wedding favours

[magrit]

that was what i was thinking too.... so each person a box of 6? or is it too much?

[w3ngal]

6 should b nice!
I won't b inviting Muslim colleagues too coz not enough to make one table, but most of my gd friends are Muslim colleagues...so dunno how...

[magrit]

i think u can still invite them and let them sit with your other not so close friends... but u have to make sure u have halal food! hehe

thanks babes, i will hunt for cupcakes now

I didn't invite all my colleagues either. I just told them limited seating capacity and just gave them bengawan solo cake vouchers. And they didn't even return a gift to me. Oh well, it's fine by me.

i invited the whole company, but didnt extend my invitation to machines operator as they all work shifts and could not attend my wedding. But I bought boxes of cupcakes for each of them.

I don't expect anything in return, just wana share my joy with everyone

Huh? Dont say & dont do anythg consider rude? For me, i've no intention to say or do anythg. Just wear the wedding band/proposal ring if pple notice, then they will ask ***... I always thk it is personal affair. Go round telling colleauges (not relatives or frens), maybe they also can't be bothered. Worse some may thk you want ang bao fr them

I won't be inviting my colleagues unless they are my friends as well. As for gifts, I'll request that a donation be made to certain charities. My wedding will be a very private affair and the guest list, including family, will not exceed 30 pax.

Oh yes, my husband and my in-laws must agree to this arrangement too = )

I'm not sure what to do with the few one or two colleagues who recently experienced 'moaning / funeral' in their families. How can I let them know that they are not invited? (when I actually am inviting the whole department).

My parents are very pantang. That's why.

It's really tricky and mind-cracking

[artichoke]

Those who are in mourning should know that they are not suppose to attend weddings unless their culture does not have such rule. If your parents are pangtang, then tell them that your parents are pangtang so you are letting them know that you are not inviting them. They will understand one.

I never invite my colleagues due to limited seats capacity. As my dialect is Teochew, ordering cakes is a must for GDL, packed a few boxes for colleagues.
