Ive been invited to a work collegues wedding reception party for November time should I go? to be honest im not really that close with this girl whos getting married but she has invited me along with other staff members. Im in a situation here as if I did go I wouldnt know anyone there expect people from work but im not sure who would turn up for it. If I didnt go then it would look rude/weird of me to not be there and could create an atmosphere at work. Any help would be appreciated :)

    You should go. This could develop your relationship with this work colleague and you could become friends.

    One day being slightly uncomfortable until your first couple of drinks, or weeks of being treated like a lepar? No contest. Go.

    It may be the girl is being very nice and inviting everyone from work so as to be kind and not leave anyone out, or she may genuinely like you all. I would accept and then see what others say and if nearer the time you really feel you cannot attend pull a sicky at the last minute but to pay for your sins of non attendance buy a present and a card. or you could just go and find you may enjoy it and if not leave early .

    Thanks for your help and good advice recieved I was thinking also maybe I should show my face for an hour or two then go that way at least I was there. I wouldnt be able to stay late as I would have work the next day as the wedding party is on a weekend and I work weekends

    Good for you, just go and show your face. She might just want gifts, but don't bother with that, have some cake. :-D

    Why don't you just ask some of your other work mates if they are going and all go together :confused:

    Yeah, go, no-one is asking you to stay the whole day/night and you never know, you might enjoy yourself or meet someone there who's company you enjoy! ;)

    It's only for a few drinks albeit it's free if it's a glass of champers or more! Or even better, a piece of cake if you get lucky!

    I've attended a few wedding receptions with some work colleagues and it was quite fun! I agree with other FMs here as you should ask your work colleagues first if they're going too then you can join them as it might be no fun & laughs if you go on your own just in case.
