Inviting the Priest

I am already planning to invite the priest who will be marrying us to our reception.  We living in Los Angeles and are getting married in Northern CA.  Because of this, we had our pre-cana sessions down here.  Should I invite our priest in LA to the wedding?  I can't decide if it is weird.  Also, I know it would be a nice gesture and he probably wouldn't come; however, my venue cap is 200 and I am already trying to bring the guest list down from 205.  I just don't know if it is needed.  I plan on getting him a nice "Thank you" gift and donation for his help.  Thoughts?

    I wouldn't invite him, unless I had a close relationship with him, and it doesn't sound like you do. I think the thank you gift is sufficient.

    I think that a thank you gift and a donation sounds perfect. Perhaps include a handwritten card, as well!

    I don't think it would be weird to invite him, but I don't think it's likely he would accept the invitation.

    That said, I agree with sending him a nice thank-you note and a donation.  (A gift may not be necessary, and since priests have to take vows of poverty, he may not be able to keep it.)

    Thanks for the advice.  I think we will pass on the invitation.  He is a huge Cal football fan (we are both UCLA fans) so I was going to get him something related to that and then a donation to the church.
