invitations to hired help?

ReyesToy

My Day-of-coordinator asked if I could send her an invitation. I will send one anyway but I was just wondering if I'm supposed to count her as one of the guests.

Anyone else from the list below that I should be sending an invite to?
- A hired non-religious officiant with whom my family/guests have no ties
- DJ
- Photographers

When doing assigned tables, are we supposed to leave room for them at a table?

I know that we will be feeding all of our vendors that are involved in the reception, but our venue will provide a discounted meal for them (they won't be drinking on the job!).  They won't get an invitation.  

My family is close to our officiant, so he will definitely be invited to the reception, and we sent him a formal invitation.  Same with our ceremony musicians, who are friends of FI's.

You coordinator might collect invites to all the weddings she does. Asfar as vendors - we're feeding them all but it's in their contracts. It's also in our venue contract that we cannot seat vendors at a regular table, they will set up a table outside for vendors to eat at (and all our vendors tell us this is common and fine). I would check with your venue as far as how to feed/seat the vendors and check your vendor contracts as well.

Our priest is the only one who got an invite, your DOC might want it for a portfolio.

Vendors don't need invites....their contracts should provide them with times and dates.  If your DOC requested, maybe it's as PP said where she collects them.  I would only send if you have extra after you send yours out.  I believe our DJ & photographers will sit at a table, but it won't be assigned seating per say.  Ask them what they are comfortable with.  I think some DJs like to eat at their station.

The only "vendor" we sent an invitation to was our pastor and her husband.
