Intimate wedding

I was going to post this on weddingbee but thought sdn would relate better. I'm engaged and trying to get the main details decided before second year starts. 90% sure we are going to have parents/grandparents/siblings/one niece as our guests. I've worked for a one-doctor practice since 2012 (with a two year hiatus) and the manager/boss has made it clear she wants an invite. I would love to have the clinic there just like I would my closest friends and extended family but I feel like this will be the financially best and least stressful option. I don't want to burn any bridges incase there's a job opening with them when I graduate. Any way to tell them? They usually just ask if I have a date, how the planning is going etc.

Yep, just be upfront and honest about it. Explain that you're trying to be financially conscious and so you're just doing immediate family. If you decide to widen the net then you might want to consider inviting them, but I'd hope they'll be understanding about a family-only wedding.

Agreed, just explain that it's family only. If she's upset by that, I wouldn't really want to work for her in the future anyway.

Honesty is the best approach.

I agree. Keep the wedding as you want it. Maybe you could go out for a nice lunch or dinner sometime before or after the wedding with your colleagues + new spouse to celebrate?
