Priest/Officiant Ettiquette

Hi Ladies,

Question - did you/do you plan on inviting your priest or officiant to your rehearsal dinner or wedding?  We are getting married at a church that we don't belong to so we will barely know the priest marrying us - are we supposed to invite him? 

TIA!!

    Yes, you are supposed to invite them and any significant other, but if you dont know them they will probably decline.

    Yes to both. If he accepts, you should probably ask him to say the blessing as well.

    Yep. We don't know ours at all either, but we're inviting him and his wife to both. We'll seat them with FI's parents since they are more religious than mine.

    Yes, invite him. We invited our priest and a guest to our reception, and he declined due to a family commitment. My cousin said the blessing before dinner.

    Yep.  I agree w/Anne_Warbucks.

    You'll burn in hell if you don't.....just kidding. We are inviting ours as well. It's just a nice jesture. Chances are, they won't come.

    I am inviting mine, but my church does 3 weddings every Saturday.  Keep that in mind too.
