I don't think so, unless they are an old family friend or something. I have never heard of sending them an invitation though.
thanks MissAsB! Because I am out of invitations! LOL
Never heard of it and I dont think its necessary. hehehe i ran of invitations too had only one left scanned it and emailed to some close friends.
If you are Catholic, it's common ettiquette to send an invitation to your priest (or to extend a verbal invitation, maybe, in your case). I don't really know about any other situations... :)
thanks mrs spring. yes, i am catholic... i guess i'll just send him an invitation to the wedding. i'm also inviting him to the rehearsal dinner
I agree with Mrs. Spring. It's usually a Catholic formality. If you have a few extra invitations, why not send the priest one? Ultimately, it's up to you and your fiance.
I'm with the PP's. I thought you HAD to invite him to the rehearsal but I dunno. I'm not a fan of our church's Msgr so I'm trying to get a priest who taught at the school when I was a kid to come back - this way I only have to invite him... and I like him. LOL ;)
Yes, I am inviting him to the rehearsal dinner as well :) Thanks for the input!
In my area of the country (north east) it would be uncommon for the priest not to be invited. The norm in my area is to send them an invitation -- but just know that they may not be able to RSVP or tell you of their attendance until a week or so before the wedding. This is because there may be other duties they must perform (last rites, vigil mass, early morning mass on Sunday... etc).
It's nice having the priest there, even if you don't really know him -- he can offer a blessing before the meal, and a picture of the bride dancing with the priest is classic!
If for no other reason I would send an invitation to show that you care about him being at the entire wedding.

Hello!
Are we supposed to send an invitation to the priest/officiant/rabbi officiating our ceremony? I have absolutely no idea!
Thanks!
