I didn't invite anyone from my current job. I invited 2 people I worked with at previous jobs because we became friends outside of work.

I ended up inviting all of the attorneys in my office because I was friends with all but 2 of them. The two got a later invite after I got some Nos, and they already had plans. I invited select support staff who I was close with. That being said, I’m probably not the norm. I’m very close with most of my coworkers. If I had gotten married a few years earlier, I would not have invited my bosses. I would just invite the ones you are friends with.

I'm only inviting one coworker who is an actual friend and we don't work together anymore. My partner is inviting a bunch of people from his work, but he has been there 8+ years and works in person and is actually friends with them (I am too with some). Everyone is different, just do what feels right!

I have invited the two partners I have worked under for a long time as they have been important to my life as a whole and then only coworkers that I actually spend time with outside of work voluntarily.

unless you work in a very small office, invite only people with whom you are close. Would you invite them to an in home Christmas party? If you work with only a few people, you might want to invite everyone. For instance 7 person office, you would call 2 good friends... just invite 2, consider 5 or 6 good friends, invite everyone.

Alright fellas, hims vs keeps?

I’m 25 and still have a good head of hair, but can see myself greying and feel like more and more hair is falling out every day. Not noticeable but have heard prevention is everything for this and am following the exact pattern my grandfather did, who had thick hair like mine and then was bald by 30.

Appreciate all you stylish folk and hope everyone has a great day.

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!
