Justus,
One of my co-workers is being married this spring. She has announced that none of her co-workers will be invited to her wedding.
That's fine with me because I understand the expense involved with a large guest list. We are not the best of friends but we are all close at work. We've never gone out outside of work so not attending her wedding wouldn't be a sleepless night either. However, she is strongly hinting that I should do her a favor and host a bridal shower for her -- a co-workers' party. Well...... I'm having mixed feelings because on one end, if we're not important enough to be invited (not to say we have to go) then why should we throw her a party for something we can't attend? But then on the other hand.....with finances being tough, as coworkers who are cordial and close, should it be expected to give to one of our own?? What do you think? -Just a coworker

Hello CoWorker,
It's not expected, but it would be nice of you if you were to plan a bridal shower for her. Some people are so slow that they don't even understand what they're saying at times. Saying she won't invite any of the same people she's expecting a gift from was not a smooth move on her part. Then again because of her lack of finances she may not be able to accommodate a large crowd and too embarrassed to say so. By hiding behind the idea to get you all to throw her a shower may be showing more intelligence than I initially thought. However you choose to look at it, it will be a blessing on your part to play dumb and help her out. It's will be like the 'pay the preacher' theory, no matter what he does with the money your intention was good. Let God guide you and be blessed.
