I did - our officiant is our pastor from our regular church and our families are friends. I think it depends on your relationship with the officiant. If you just hired her/him from 1-800-MARRY-US (LOL) then maybe not. On the other hand, it can't hurt to invite - if he's not comfortable with attending the reception, he can always decline.
I did not but only because the reception was very far from the church and our priest is a lot older and has trouble walking. If the reception was closer I probably would have invited him.
I sent him a STD.
Wow I didn't know we were supposed too?? Should we have??
Yes I did and he responded 'declines with regret, but I will be there for the mass' Well at least we know the priest, FH and I will be there so thats all we really need I guess lol
I will send an invite to my officiant because i have seen in other wedding websites that you should so i was going to do it just because..idk..this is confusing.

Debi did, and Donna plans to as well. Mary MOB
I did for my wedding. I don't think it's required or mandated as wedding etiquette. If you can afford an extra seating then it would be a nice gesture since the officiant officially pronounced both of you as husband and wife so it's only fair that they get treated to food and drinks. It's entirely up to you, if you don't feel comfortable having your officiant hanging around after your ceremony, you are definitely not required to do it. Just thank the officiant with a tip and let them go on their way. Sometimes the officiant may not even be able to hang around esp if they had prior engagements after their work is done.
yes i believe you do, i'm going to
we offered for him to stay and he said no thank you. lol
