I work in a school - class teacher, TA and me in a class. The teacher is getting married in July and I’m still waiting for an invite even to the reception! All she talks about is her wedding and I have been patient nodding, smiling and oohs and aahs!! The TA is invited as are other members of the team… Feeling a bit annoyed at the lack of invite even to the reception…I’ve booked something else for that evening now as didn’t want to do nothing…

Are you friends out of work?

Based on the info provided, it sounds a bit presumptive to assumed an invitation to a co-workers wedding!

Maybe you're not as close as you think? Do you go to other social occasions? Has there ever been a hint that she's inviting you?

What role do you have in the classroom? Have you been there long?
Are you friends with the teacher getting married?

Do you actually consider this person a friend? Have you socialised outside of work?

If you're not invited but TA is, she's rude to keep going on about it.

If the others have already been invited then it looks like you're not getting one, sorry.

Can you change the subject next time she starts?

Do you know that the others have received an invite and not you? Normal etiquette is for the formal invitations to go out six weeks before the wedding.

'Even to the reception' - were you hoping for an invitation to actual day of the wedding too?
Anyway, you've arranged something else now so you can't go even if you are invited. but i seriously don't get the 'didn't want to do nothing' bit. You're that upset that you would really need to keep yourself distracted on day of wedding for fear you'll be overwhelmed by feelings of rejection?
I think you're being massively presumptuous and melodramatic.
And why shouldn't they talk about it all the time? It's one of the biggest days of their lives and they're not allowed to mention in case you get upset? Do you not talk about holidays or events that you arrange but presumably don't invite colleagues to?

Well, that’s teachers for you.

Why would she invite you? Are you friends?
