yup! the priest who married us also married my 2 other sisters and was there to do my communion and confirmation- he only came to our CH.

Is it at a church or did you hire him? You really don't have to if you are paying him. It also depends on your relationship with him. I didn't think I was going to invite mine b/c I am having a quick cer. at RH and kind of looked at the officiant as another vendor. But over the last few months I have established a relationship w/ him (emails, meetings, invites for dinner!) so I think I def. will now. Every situation is different.

Yes, you should invite your officiant, regardless of whether you are paying him/her or not. It's proper etiquette. The chances that s/he will attend are very low, but on the off chance s/he attends, s/he should be seated with the guests, not the vendors.

FTR, our officiant hung around for the CH, not the reception and was therefore not included in the headcount.
