Inviting officiant...

Is it absolutely necessary to invite the deacon who is doing our ceremony?
My FH and I are unsure - cuz it's not our church (we're doing a religious ceremony to appease the 'rents) we really don't know him and we don't know what to do...

We're not inviting our deacon. We don't really know him.

if you dont have a relationship w/ your officiant, then there's no reason to invite him/her

I was wondering the same thing, about our Rabbi. Thanks for posting.

we're inviting our rabbi, but we've known him since I was a toddler.

I definitely don't think it's necessary, especially if it's not someone you have a relationship with.

No you do not have to. We are but the priest is a family friend.

I thought you were supposed to. Im not sure if its only if you know them though.


I heard that you invite them and they will most likely decline and at most, attend the CH to be nice.
