officiant invite?

Is the Officiant supposed to get an invitation? Not the other vendors, right?

I think some people invite their officiant if they are close with them or have known them for many years. FH and I just met our priest last year (and have only met with him twice since) so we aren't inviting him.

If you have a relationship with your officiant, priest, pastor, etc. and feel you would like to have them share in your celebration, then invite them. We just met our officiant so we are not sending a formal invite.

We aren't inviting ours. We don't know him at all.

We had no prior relationship with either the priest or the rabbi, but I was told it's the right thing to do to invite them so we did. They both declined and we were also told this would probably happen, you just send it to be nice. The priest stayed for a little of the cocktail hour, but that was all, the rabbi left right after the ceremony.
