Are you inviting your officiant to the reception?

Yes, but not only because he's my grandfather. I feel like that would be rude not to invite the officiant to the reception.

Absolutely!!! His wife is also coming too. Our officiant is my FMIL coworkers. Who also happens to be the assistant school principal

😱I didn’t think to invite him I just assumed he would attend

My FIL officiated, so yes!

Yes along with his family since he is our pastor

The agreement we had with our officiant is that we would pay her $50 (she does donations) and invite her to the reception as well.

We invited our pastor, and a couple of the other pastors and wives from the church. We told the DJ too - so we are expecting clean music. We are not having an open bar, so we aren't worried about anyone getting too drunk too early. We are close with the church families, so we wanted them to be included in our celebration!

Yes! I am going to invite them as they are very good with me and I have long family relations with them. Also, it will benefit me later.

In our case he is a friend, so yes. In any other case i feel if theyre traveling its almost rude not to invite them to stay - but then again its another plate to pay for...

Hoping my future sister in law will be our officiant so of course! ❤️

We are inviting him to the reception because he is a mentor and a personal friend of both mine and FH

Our officiant will definitely be invited. I served with him in the military so I'm honored that he even accepted to want to officiate for us. It's the least I could do!

If it were my family pastor , yes. However he bailed so our back-up is not currently invited to stay, but perhaps after we meet him I would be open to it.

Our officiant is my friend/co-worker...she asked and said she always wanted to do it so we said yes now everyday she counting down the days to our wedding

Of course! Regardless of if it turns out to be my Aunt or Uncle or a Judge we know- or someone else, it seems a little odd they wouldn’t be!

Yes, I plan to. He is more than just an officiant we hired, he is our pastor and knows us personally.

Not shure? We dont really know her

We invited our officiant and her husband. She is doing the dinner blessing and they are staying for dinner. This Friday, at rehearsal, is the first time we are meeting her. She jas been so nice and wonderful.

Definitely! She's a friend of my sister and an awesome lady.

Yes, my pastor is welcome to come.
