i hear ya....lol
trust me, marriage isn't my ideal situation either...
i've been living the married life for 4 years...without being married. and i'm fine with it. i like it this way. but girls have different needs and if you care about someone, you have to be sensitive to that as well.

If you, in the course of your acquaintance you know that your ex-boss is the type that likes to socialize with colleagues, sure, why not? Otherwise, just send an invite, though he may not show.

What about other collegues? you have to keep in mind that this is a small company....about 20 people in the office.....the boss, is also the CEO. i have another boss who is my immediate boss, i interact with him mostly, and send him my weekly stats, etc.
then there's another PM who i also associate with......

i know i won't invite the people at my level, but where do i draw the line?

thoughts?

I didn't invite my coworkers for the aforementioned post's reason. If I invited a few people, I would've needed to open it up to a ton of coworkers. I debated on my direct supervisor and manager, but chose not to.

I don't personally think there's as much of a rule anymore to invite your bosses. If you feel comfortable enough in a social setting with him, go ahead and invite him. If you prefer to keep things more professional or separate, there's nothing wrong with simply saying that your wedding is a more intimate family affair if they bring it up (which they probably wouldnt)

You won't invite people at your level? If not, then be careful of how many management or upper level folks you invite. Though it might not be the reason, it could be seen as trying to kiss up to the management folks - especially if you interact with them as much or less than those on your level.

Of course there's no rule saying you have to invite those on your level .... just throwing that out there
