  I have doubts about inviting colleagues and bosses to a wedding ceremony.
The wedding is no secret in my firm, moreover, people have been asking me more and more about it. I would like to invite my colleagues and bosses, but I wouldn’t like to make a blunder.
Could I invite “the firm” only to the church? These people are not that close to me so as to invite them to a family reception. Although I have used their help a few times, e.g. reception place or band recommendations. Won’t they feel offended?
In a situation when none of the colleagues or bosses is a closer friend of yours, there is no reason to invite them to a family reception. Though if they are so keen on helping you in the preparations and are interested in their course, they would surely be glad to accompany you at the wedding ceremony. Therefore I would propose that you give them notifications about the wedding, in other words invitations to the wedding mass (without the annotation about the reception). Depending on the culture and customs in your firm, you could either hand the notifications out individually or to the whole team at once, for example after a meeting (of course after discussing your intentions with your boss). Before you do so, I would advise you to say a few words, e.g. “As you know, the day of my wedding is near. I’m very thankful for your interest in this very important event and giving me a lot of precious advice. I would be glad if you would like to come to the ceremony...”

I am sure that when you do so, no one will feel offended.
