Trying to decide who to invite from work. My office is about 45 people total—50-50 attorneys and support staff. I know which associates I’m inviting and know that the others won’t care. But struggling with partners and support staff. I work with some but am close to others that I don’t work with. Reality is that I can’t invite them all but don’t want to offend anyone

I would just stick with those you’re close to. Sometimes it’s a burden to be invited if you don’t know the person well enough.

I didn’t invite anyone from where I currently work, even though I have quite a few close friends. My partner and I decided that everyone invited needed to have made it through at least two seasons of life with one of us. It really helped us narrow our guest list and we’re still at 90.

How did you decide if you should use a wedding planner? Do you have any regrets?

Comment where you are cutting back to save money. Here are ours:
- Not doing a presidential suite, instead we’re getting a normal suite and using a conference room for hair/makeup/meals
- Centerpieces. We are doing a few bigger centerpieces, then small bud vases at the rest of the tables.
- Transportation for guests. Our wedding is in a major city and ubers are easily accessible.
- Flowers. No flowers for men, only the groom is getting a boutonnière. No flowers for parents/grandparents.
