I had a co-worker who was a really good work friend but we hadn't done anything together outside of work. She had a pretty small guest list and, the week before the wedding, she approached me at work and said "We have a few open slots and I understand if you say no but I would love it if you could be there." She invited about 5 of us from work and we all went together. I wasn't offended at all because I knew she was trying to keep costs down and she was very gracious in her approach. I knew she wasn't just looking for gifts because that isn't her style.
