NCEPR: Party planning/guest list

[redheadbaker]

I'm bored at work. I'm beginning to plan S.O.'s surprise 40th birthday party.

If you're S.O. worked in a small, tight-knit office, would you invite his/her boss and co-workers? We're talking 7 people (14 with spouses/partners).

We've gone to the wedding of one of his co-workers. The annual Christmas party is always at his boss' house. They're a really laid-back group.

[Velar Fricative]

Yes, I would.

I would not want my boss invited to my birthday party because it is the one day a year I am apt to be a complete drunken mess.

But assuming your SOis not a fool like me, then yes.

[NitaX]

I would. It sounds very much like my office. My boss invited us to her H's birthday party.

My boss is awesome and I can see us being friends outside of work, so I wouldn't have any issue with inviting her. My last 3 bosses, not so much.
