Creative ways to ask officiant?

2ndTime, on October 2, 2016 at 7:21 PM Posted in Planning 0 4

There are so many cute ideas to ask various people to be a part of your wedding. But I need some ideas for our officiant. She is a good friend of ours and already offered a few years ago. She has been ordained and preformed various ceremonies for years. I just want to do something special when we "officially" ask her. Pinterest has been no help and I am lost on ideas.

    I asked my sister in a private Facebook message lol. I wanted her in the wedding somehow but she wouldn't have wanted to be a bridesmaid. I knew it was right up alley to officiate. She was traveling for work so it was the easiest way of communication and she was so excited and honored.

    I asked my uncle by taking him out to dinner and attaching a little note to a bottle of margarita mix and a giant margarita glass. He loved it.

    I just asked my brother in person when we were already out to dinner. Our dad passed away last year, so he asked if he could walk me down the aisle, and I told him our mom would, but we were planning on asking him to officiate. He got teary and accepted. And, contrary to WW predictions, the ceremony was beautiful and went off without a hitch. You'll probably get some "no friendors" / "hire a real professional" comments on this post (which are valid and worth considering!), but just FYI to be prepared for that advice here too.

    Oh, god. Those 'cutesy' invites are so over the top and unnecessary. Just as kher - in a text, email, phone call, whatever. Make it practical before you make it 'cute' - make sure the date, cost and timeline are nailed down, she's a good fit with the vibe you want, etc.
