Re: Officiant Question:

It's a nice gesture - if you are close with the officiant. Sometimes they may just come to the reception to do a blessing and then skidaddle

Re: Officiant Question:

We are going to extend the invitation to our officiants... im not sure how it works if you are getting married in temple and then going to a RH, but since the officiants are coming to us, we feel like we should definatly ask them to stay if they would like

ITA! Our officiant will only stay for the cocktail hour. I wanted to have a picture with her, and we've paid for her for an hour. But she probably has another wedding later in the day so she wont be coming. But like JOC said..it's a nice gesture...
