Officiant Invite to Bridal Shower

I think you're a little confused about terminology here. A bridal party is a group of people that stand up with you at your wedding. Do you mean reception? The party after the ceremony?

ETA: Yes, you should extend an invite to your officiant for the reception.

No I'm talking about the bridal shower. The officiant is going to be at ceremony and I sent her an invitation so that she could mail back her selection- plate choice.

No, your officiant doesn't get invited to your bridal shower.

I think it would be odd to invite your officiant. It is weird to expect a gift (which is the purpose of a shower) from a paid professional.

I think it all depends if you have a close relationship with her or him. If you don't know who it is them in my opinion is not necessary to send an invitation to your bridal party

I wouldn't but if it's someone that your close to then yes!

Unless you are super close with them then maybe but other wise..... I would think maybe you're just trying to get an extra gift....

No, I don't know this person, interviewed twice. Thanks.

I attended one wedding shower, but the bride was already a friend of mine (yes, we had a contract for the ceremony).

I think it's weird enough having them come to the reception.

I didn't

My officiant is a good friend of mine, so she was invited to mine.

If you know them personally, and would other wise invite them as a friend to the wedding if they weren't providing their service then yes

If you're hiring then just to do that then no

That's a weird question... No you don't. Its not appropriate. Bridal showers are for your close friends and family.

I think if you are close to your officiant or if you have someone other than a pro doing it, like a friend, then I would send an invitation. If its a pro that you hired I wouldn't invite them.

My officiant is my friend from grade school he's invited to our coed bridal shower but typically no they wouldn't be invited. Lol
