Bride grapples with wedding-day dilemma over 'weird or non-professional' invitations.
An etiquette expert shares her opinion on what's appropriate or inappropriate for invitations.
A recent post on social media may have caused uncertainty among soon-to-be married individuals about their guest list.
On Reddit's "wedding" page, a user posed a question seeking advice: Should coworkers be invited to a wedding?
She has been employed at the same company for four years and has colleagues approximately her age.
She said, "Although we work a hybrid schedule and are not always together, we truly enjoy our time together when we are."
Inviting the group of women to her wedding made her feel nervous, despite their frequent discussions of their personal lives.
She expressed her nervousness about her wedding after inviting others.
She added, "Was it weird or non-professional to invite them?"
The Reddit user stated that her family has assured her that it is normal to feel nervous about mixing professional and personal relationships.
It is not unusual to invite professional colleagues to a personal event such as a wedding, as agreed upon by commenters on a social media post.
One user stated that they invited both colleagues and ex-colleagues to their home, and despite initial concerns, the gathering was not awkward. Additionally, their family enjoyed getting to know the attendees and learning more about their work life.
I'm sure they were all happy and honored to be invited!
Rosalinda Randall, a California-based etiquette expert, stated on Planet Chronicle Digital that it is always appropriate to invite people with whom you share daily hours for a personal event.
It's normal to be nervous, especially if you have no experience with weddings and all that comes with it, she said, advising the bride to discuss the situation with her spouse to help calm her nerves.
Randall remarked that the social media user is fortunate to work with a small group of people, which enables her to invite whomever she desires to her wedding.
The problem, as Randall pointed out, arises when a couple cannot extend invitations to all of their colleagues.
She suggested sending invitations privately and limiting public discussion about the event.
She said that a thoughtful coworker would wish her well, send a card, and be pleased to hear about the preparations for the big day.
Planet Chronicle Digital reached out to the Reddit user for further comment.
