Wedding Invitations Make Your Own

Question: Wedding invitations for our places of work. we know they cannot come- wedding is in another state.?

We are getting married in another state that is nearly 2000 miles away. I think it's only appropriate to invite our coworkers since we would have if the wedding were here. How do you think we should do it since we know they won't be able to come? Should we send an invite to the company as a whole or to each person individually? We have a couple of co workers who we hang out with outside of work so will be sending them individual invites... We are going to have a small gathering here after our actual wedding, so that people here can celebrate also but that's going to be a small celebration at a friend's house. Any suggestions about how we should go about this? Actually we do know everyone in the company. It is a small company where they promote friendship and everyone is like family to eachother. (of course there are a few ppl who do not.. but even the president and vice president do).

In situations like this it is usual to verbally tell people you actually work with ( that is have face to face interactions at work) that you are getting married and where and when. Presumably you will be taking some vacation time for this, so this accounts for your absence. Then send actual invitations to the post-wedding celebration to the people you want to attend it. For the co-workers you hang out with after work just tell them about the wedding and that there will be a post-wedding celebration, so they know they're included in that.

If you know they arent going to be able to come, dont send them an invite. If you give them an invite they are going to feel terrible for not being able to come, even if you say you understand. Just invite them to that gathering after, give them an invite saying Mr. & Mrs. ____ had a private out of state but would like to invite you for a small celebration at date, time, location.

Yea, i agree with the other answers. if you have a couple of individual friends you think might make the trip invite them. Otherwise, why would you waste the stamps and money giving invitations to people you know can't come?! Also, do you really know everyone in the whole company to send a group invitation? I'd send an invite for the small celebration to the friend's house and put on the invitation that the actual wedding was held out of state at an earlier date.

You should only send a wedding invitation to those people that you socialize with "after working hours. " Do not send a "general invitation " to the company or post the invitation on the bulletin board. An invitation to the party or celebration afterwards should be mailed to each individual (or couple). Do not send a "general invitation " to the company or post the invitation on the bulletin board. A "general invitation " shows no sincerity. Your party invitation should ask for a RSVP so you know how many people are coming.
