A beautiful Invitation to a Wonderful Pacific BBQ. Would You like to Come?

I am trying to organize a Barbecue with some friends for the fourth of July. I would like to invite coworkers from my previous workplace, but not all of the office, since my resources are rather limited (space + financial). However, I am afraid that word will go around really fast (it's a pretty tightely knit work team) and that people will feel offended for not being invited.

What is the best way for me to single out the people I want to invite without making a big deal out of it? I really would like to see them all there, but that's not really an option.

Thanks for your suggestions!
I appreciate the feedback and apologize if I seem a little pretentious, really not intentional :-S

I'm not afraid about them being devastated, I just don't want the office the invitees to randomly throw out "say, are you going to Mel's party?" and getting this awkward silence.

Make an invitation that expresses that you are "planning a small 4th of July party" and include an "RSVP for space and food planning." That should indicate your feelings. The others that are not invited should be mature enough adults to accept that you could not invite a large lot of people.
Hope all goes well.

We are having a bbq and are inviting around 30 people. We would like to ask people to bring side dishes, but I think it will be a little much with 30 people bringing them.

Do you think that a lot of guests would just offer to bring something even if we don't write anything in the invitation? We know everyone equally well, so I feel strange asking just a select few to bring something...

Thanks!

some people will offer and some will arrive with their hats in their hands.
if it`s 15 couples then 15 side dishes wouldn`t be to much

Help -- I need to make up a flyer/invitation for bbq we are having at work - any ideas as to border, cliparts, etc... I want something that will really stand out & look great. Does anyone know of free sites to download certificates, etc.... Thanks..

Does your work place use Microsoft? If so, then publisher has some great templates, as does Word. Plus, if you have MS then you have all their clip art at your fingertips! Next option would be going to a discount store and buying scrapbooking stickers. Create your own look with just a word processor - add your stickers to decorate and make color copies. That is how I did my first newsletter! Worked great!
