 |
|
| I work in a small office and for the last couple of months, have worked with my boss and one other person. My boss is getting married and having a large wedding, and he often speaks about his plans. I was a little surprised not to be invited to his wedding (I don't know his fiancee) but I am not upset, and wish them well. Is it appropriate to get a gift, or a card, or both, for someone who has not invited you? |

| If you like you boss enough to give him something then go ahead and give one but it is not expected for him to receive a gift from someone he didn't invite. I would go with a cheesy card. |

| Generally the staff get together to give a joint gift to the couple. If the other person you work with also isn't invited to the wedding, a joint gift would be appropriate. If the other person is going to the wedding then they will purchase a gift from themselves. Then you could choose a token gift from yourself to the couple. |

| It is very appropriate and generous of you to do so. Even if you get him a card, that would be such a nice, and unexpected gesture. You might not want to go all out with a present, because he then might feel guilty for not inviting you; even though you weren't offended by it. |

| You don't have to since he didn't invite you but it would be a nice gesture especially since he is your boss. It would be different if you worked in a big office and hardly ever had contact with him or if he weren't your boss. |

| well since you weren't on the guest list, it isn't required. but it can be a nice gesture. maybe you and the other co-worker could go in on a small gift card where they are registered. |
