Inviting Priest to Reception?

I have read and heard that it is the proper thing to do to invite your priest to the reception and I'd like to do so. We have belonged to this same parish since toddlers and although we ado not have a 'relationship' with the priest marrying us I think its right for us to invite him...but my question is this...

how do I address the envelope? He is a Reverend/Pastor at the church...

Reverend Thomas J. Harold
church name
church address?

inner
Reverend Harold and Guest????

I have no clue...should he get a guest?

From the Knot Book - it says

The Revered, . . unless it is Roman Catholic where it is father. I do not think you need to include a guest.

Hope that helps

If that's Father Tom Harold from Holy Name of Mary... then it's 'Monsignor Thomas Harold' lol (or Msgr. Thomas Harold) - are you getting married there?

* Edited because I saw your profile, and see you are getting married there too! You also got engaged on my birthday, small world. Anyway, he was named a Monsignor over the last few years, I still call him Father Tom because I always did but his title is Msgr. So that's how you should mail the invite, I am inviting him to mine as well but he's a family friend too, that's why I'm so glad he's marrying us. He will do a great job with your wedding! (Are you going to the fall pre-cana by any chance? I was supposed to but I think I'm rescheduling it.)
