Commencement and coworkers question

ConAndLibrarian thought this was worth mentioning said

After much deliberation I have decided to walk at commencement this coming May. I feel a bit silly considering I am a little bit older than many of the graduates, but feel I do need to celebrate this accomplishment.

Now here is the problem; who do I have to invite at work without pissing everyone off? I would like to invite the president of my organization, a few other members of the leadership team, and maybe one or two other coworkers. Considering I was not thinking of inviting my team in my department or my supervisor, I am thinking I am going to cause a lot of bad blood. I have a limited amount of tickets and basically all the tickets are already accounted for.

What do you all think? There is an overflow seating area that does not require tickets but I still rather not have a huge amount of people in there.

Reading this over I sound super whiney, must be all the vodka in me.
