Step 1
Evaluate what your co-workers know about you, and what you want them to know. In other words, does getting an invitation to your gay wedding surprise them, and if so, is it going to make your life in the office more difficult? This is not about hiding from who you are. This is being practical about where you spend 8 hours a day.

Step 2
Learn the rules of etiquette on straight marriage. They are just as relevant to your gay wedding. The general advice is that you aren't obligated to invite your boss or co-workers.
-
Step 3
Think about your co-workers and which ones would enjoy your event for what it is--a celebration of love.
-
Step 4
Read some of the wedding tips and stories about gay couples' weddings. These provide ideas of what can happen and the potential reactions.
-
Step 5
Follow invitation etiquette with a slight twist. Both gay and straight couples have solved the co-worker invitation problem by simply letting those at work know of the date and asking who wants to come. Invites then go to the ones who have the date free and want to be there.

Step 6
Prepare yourself. Sometimes the people you think you know best can surprise you. Don't take delivery of a lecture on gay weddings. This is a happy time, and you want to keep it that way.
