I did and he ended up coming for a little bit. I just figured it was a nice gesture.

We actually aren't even having a rehearsal - just a dinner the night before the wedding and my officiant is great, but not like my childhood priest or anything.

more opinions please!

We aren't. If you were having a formal rehearsal then I'd say it might be a nice gesture, but since you arent then its proably not necessary.

Good question, I looked at some posts that were linked to this one by keyword (below) and it seems like a lot of girls do invite the preist to the rehearsal dinner and to the reception. How do you go about doing that? I mean sending him an actual invitation would be silly right? Do you just say 'Hey, why don't you come to dinner tonight!'?

Ours would probably decline the rehearsal dinner but I think he'd probably come to the reception b/c it's a ton of Greeks and a Greek band, most of them go to the church...
