Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some help regarding inviting the priest to the reception. I know this used to be pretty common, but I'm not sure if it's still done. I don't want the priest to feel obligated, but I don't want to insult him either. I also certainly don't want him to give a gift. We plan on giving him a gift for performing the ceremony. If he does come, who should he sit with? Is it okay to ask him to say a short blessing?
