I also noticed one specified in their contract that it;s considered "rude" not to invite them to reception, with a check box for if you are inviting them. This didn't even cross my mind! Obviously if it was a friend of the family or someone who I attended church with I would, but I guess I didn't think about inviting a stranger! Did you invite yours?

    Found mine using EventKickstart for $400, but I had gotten quotes from $200 to $800 (According to this it can range between $100 to over $1000 - https://eventkickstart.com/average-event-cost). We didn't mention anything about staying for the reception. Maybe we should?
