Ok....so this is random.....but, a friend of mine's mom actually invited the president to all three of her son's weddings and received a nice letter in return (clearly stating that he is too busy to attend) but congratulating the happy couple on their marriage.
OK--- so I know a LARGE # of people do not like the current president....but he is still the President of the United States.
soooo....in other words, I will most likely be purchasing an additional invite (separate from the one I already have designated for Billy Joel ) just to get the letter to add to my wedding scrap book!!

Well one of my friends works for UPS and does his route.......PLUS, he dines at the Crescent every other month or so....so i'm hoping that with a little luck, he'll be like 'hell, a good meal at a good restaurant'......

You have to request a formal Papal Blessing. I don't believe he responds to invitations. To request a formal blessing, you need to get the proper paperwork from your parish and have your priest verify that you are both Catholics and/or that the marriage will be recognized by the Church. You then send in the paperwork to the Vatican with a $40.00 donation. You will receive a Papal Blessing on parchment paper from the Vatican with your names and the date of the marriage. The Pope blesses the parchments once a month and it is sent to you in time for your wedding.
If you are an early 2007 wedding i would get on this ASAP. they ask you to allow a few months for it to be processed and to get back to you.

Thanks to donegal419's help, I ordered a Papal blessing through the Diocese of Brooklyn since I'm getting married in Queens. I requested mine 14 months in advance and the Diocese contacted me and are holding it until Jan. 2007 to send to the Vatican....still is 10 months before my wedding but I wouldn't wait on it!!

Re: Presidential Invite
Billy Joel is soooooooo much more important than the President. If it is your last invitation, invite him. I LOVE LOVE him. The President--eh!
Anyway, I did invite the President and got a reply. We got a reply that was addressed to us as Mr. and Mrs. Peter. Peter is my hubby MIDDLE NAME. It did appear on the invite, but I never expected to be called Mrs. Peter. Dumbasses!!
