I recently read an article on wedding talk at work. It was definitely an eye-opener, in terms of who to invite and how much to share.

In a nutshell, I chose to invite everyone in my department, but not the company, seeing as our company is REALLY big. There are a few more that I would have liked to invite, but where do you stop? And how do you keep people from being offended? I figured my department would make a clear cut-off point.

What I didn’t realize, which the article points out, is you shouldn’t share too many details about your wedding with co-workers. It might lead them to believe they’re being invited, since there’s an expectation that if you’re sharing this much with them, they’re close enough to share your big day as well. And that can leave people feeling left out.

You’re also obligated to invite spouses, finaces and live-in partners to your wedding, even if you haven’t met your co-workers’ better halves. That’s according to Emily Post. I pretty much followed that rule for all invitations. If I had to write "and guest," I simply left it off. That’s led to a little confusion from people who assumed I made a mistake, but at least two friends said they were happy to be relieved of the pressure of finding a suitable date and knowing that they wouldn’t be the only single at the reception.

For a little fun this weekend, check out your wedding horoscope. It’s  based on a new book, "Never Throw Rice at a Pisces," which offers an astrology guide to planning your wedding. This excerpt will tell you exactly what kind of bridesmaid matches your sign. Have a good weekend!
