Close family (or friends who are like family) should always be the first people who know about your engagement. Don’t broadcast the news on social media the second it happens. After celebrating with your significant other, call up your parents, siblings, other close family, and friends. If you have children from a previous relationship, make sure they are among the first to know.
Should I invite all my coworkers?

Treat inviting coworkers like you would inviting friends: invite those you are closest with. If you have great relationships with everyone at the office, invite them as you’d like. There is no need to invite someone from another branch that you’ve only interacted with a handful of times. Inviting the people you interact with the most is just fine. Do not hand out the invitations at work, however, so to avoid conversations with those you did not invite.
If someone asks me to be in their wedding, do I have to ask them to be in mine?

There is no obligation to include someone in your wedding just because they included you in their’s. Your wedding party should be made of the people you truly want around you. If the situation makes you uncomfortable, ask them to fill another role, such as usher.

Generally, do you not have to tip contracted vendors. You can include a tip if you’d like, but it is not mandatory. Staff like servers and musicians, however, should be tipped.
