Etiquette Question

[(Anonymous)]

My sister's daughter is having a birthday party soon. She has 4 coworkers. Three she wants to invite. But she has no idea how to get out of inviting the fourth. She really dislikes that last coworker. Also, Coworker 4 has TERRIBLE kids. Like, they went to a mutual party together and one of Coworker 4's kids kept taking her daughter's toy. And Coworker 4 doesn't control them at all.

So, what can she do?

Honestly I probably wouldn't invite coworkers at all to personal parties. I mean, I don't have kids, but I never invited people from work to birthdays or New Year's or whatever.

Re: Etiquette Question

Well, she is friends with the other 3 (they go out sometimes). they have kids as well.

Re: Etiquette Question

[kallanda_lee]

Right - well yeah, it sort of makes it awkward if she's the only one not invited. So, it's your sister's judgement call really.

I don't think you can really get away with inviting 3 of four coworkers. I think it is either invite one-two of them, invite them all, or invite none.

Re: Etiquette Question

[(Anonymous)]

Agreeing with this, though in this case even inviting one or two seems like a bad idea if the three of them usually goes together.

I would say invite all or none.

Re: Etiquette Question

[(Anonymous)]

Schedule the party at a time that she knows Coworker 4 can't come, then invite all 4.

Otherwise, just grin and bear it, or don't invite any of them,.

Re: Etiquette Question

[(Anonymous)]

She's pretty much stuck. Either she invites all the co workers or none of them, because there's a good chance the 4th co worker will find out if she doesn't. But what she can do is set some house rules if the party is in her home. Even if 4th co worker is a terrible parent, her kids must still abide by house rules, i.e. "[kid's name], in this house we don't grab toys away from other people, we take turns."

Re: Etiquette Question

With any amount of luck, that might make Coworker 4 grab her precious child and stomp out of the house in a rage.

Re: Etiquette Question

[(Anonymous)]

Can your niece make it an adults-only party? That way, she at least avoids having Coworker 4's bratty kids in her home. Plus, there's a good chance that Coworker 4 will end up trying to browbeat her into allowing the kids to come, and flounce when niece stands firm--that way, niece will be rid of her.

But then, I'm a person who thinks "invite all or none" is for preschoolers' parties, not adults. This coworker is old enough to understand that not everyone gets invited to everything.
