Listen: "I don't want to invite my coworkers to my wedding"

Listen: "I don't want to invite my coworkers to my wedding"

Weddings can be a costly affair and may cause you to exclude certain individuals from your guest list. But when it's your colleagues in question, where does that leave you?

A listener sent us a voice note about her wedding guest list dilemma. Listen to it below:

Weddings are expensive, and with every additional head that is added to the guest list, it also comes with an additional cost that will be added to your bill. 

While you would want all your friends and family to celebrate with you on your big day, in this day and age, it's not always possible due to budget constraints. 

Most of us spend the majority of our lives with our colleagues, so it's natural to form a close bond with them.

But, unfortunately, it becomes difficult to add them to the guest list, let alone deciding on which to invite. Ouch! But is there some kind of pressure that is put on to-be-wedded colleagues when deciding to get married? 

A listener sent through a voice note highlighting this very situation. Her colleagues are pressuring her to ensure they don't miss out on her big day, but it seems that she cannot afford to invite them, and is of the belief that they should not be invited because "they are colleagues, not friends". 

We asked KZN and Damon to share their thoughts on this listener's dilemma:
