yes.... one priest is a family friend so he'll definitely come... the other probably will decline. i think it's honestly how well you know them personally or if they know your family. it's nice to invite them, but unless they're close, they probably won't come....i've also seen some come to the cocktail hour and then leave.

Our priest and deacon are both good friends of the family who we've known for a long time. They are both invited to the reception. We also would like the priest to do the blessing.

We're definitely inviting my rabbi (and his wife) to the reception. Even if our reception was at a different location we would invite him - he's been my rabbi for 15 years and he is so awesome and fun!

we're inviting our priest, but hes a long time friend of the family. so even if he wasn't marrying us, we would still invite him.

We are having two priests, one is a family friend and the other is from the parish...they will both be invited to our rehearsal dinner and reception and we expect that both will accept the invitations.

this may sound like a dumb response but do you think that they will give you a gift?

No, don't expect a gift at all from your priest if you invite him to the wedding. You would be inviting him as a thank you and he will say grace if you want him to.
