Did You Invite Coworkers To Your Shower?

My shower is coming up on April the 2nd and as its the only one I will be having I plan to invite everyone I would want to have at the shower.

I have one coworker who is a friend outside of work, we shop and go to the gym together, so she definitely will be invited. My boss is awesome and we get along well so I want to invite her as well. Theres tw other coworkers who I would consider inviting but there are two who would NEVER be invited to my shower, I can barely stand to be around them during the work week so now way would I want them at my shower.

I have people saying if you plan to invite cowrkers invite them all and others who say not to invite coworkers at all. I dont think theyll be planning me a work shower and even if they did I would want a few of them to celebrate with me at my bigger shower. I just dont know what the proper protocol is, advice?

    I invited 2 that I get along with outside of work. There are quite a few women in my particular office, but only 2 that I wanted there. I didn't see an issue with it, and if the others did, or do in your case, they can deal. Obviously there are going to be people you get along with better than others, enjoy having Them there :)

    I don't know what the proper protocol is, but I think that if you are friends with a couple of them and definitely want them there, you should invite them.  The ones that you aren't friends with and don't like to be around don't even need to know about it, but if they do find out, I would guess that they probably wouldn't even care since you're not friends anyway.

    I thought it said: "Do you invite coworkers INTO your shower?"

    I would invite your coworker who is a friend and your boss.  I wouldn't invite any of the other four - if you invite two, you should invite all four.

    I invited the few that I actually consider friends. I know they're planning a shower here at work also.

    One woman said she hadn't RSVP-ed for my family/friends shower because she couldn't afford to bring a gift to both showers. Once I let her know that I honestly didn't care if she brought a gift or not to EITHER shower, I just wanted to spend time with her and have fun outside of work, she RSVPed and actually came to the shower.  Only a couple of them were able to make it, but I wanted them to know that I felt close enough to them that I'd invite them to something outside of work.

    only two people. they had a small shower already for me at work.

    I honestly do not care for many of the people that I work with esp the women and all their drama. 

    my ex best friend works with me and there was no way I was inviting her to my shower with my family and friends. I deal with her enough at work. 

    Invite whom you want to and whom you get along with. honestly one of my co irkers is pg and I am not offended that she did not invite me to hers. I would have declined anyway.

    I invited my boss and a friend from work.  My office is almost all girls, so I wasn't going to invite all 20 of them.  No one who wasn't invited was offended in the least since we're not friends outside of the office.

    I am not inviting anyone from my current job.  I invited a few former co-workers who I was friends with outside the office when I worked with them.
