Hi friends! Wedding season is here, which means many of you have likely started getting some gorgeous wedding invitations. One common guest conundrum is an invitation to your boss’s wedding. It may sound like a tricky situation to navigate, but it really isn’t! Here’s my take:
- Attendance. The first question – should you even go? The short answer is yes, if you’re available. Remember that the couple spent a lot of time finalizing their guest list, so your boss clearly considers your attendance meaningful even if you don’t consider yourselves particularly close. If you can swing it, go celebrate the next chapter in your boss’s life. You might even have some fun!
- The Gift. As with all weddings some sort of gift is usually mandatory, even for your boss. If a group of co-workers is attending the celebration, consider pitching in for a larger group gift. Otherwise, pick something off the registry in a price range you’re comfortable with.
- Your Behavior. So how should you act at your boss’s wedding? In general, keep an eye on your booze intake (don’t be that guest) but do participate in the festivities. As you would at any wedding, be an involved, excited guest!
As for everything else? Pretty much the same as if you’re attending any other wedding. Just be honored that you were invited and have a fun time! Easy peezy!
