I think it's a nice gesture but I'm not doing it. I'm a cheapo and am reluctant to spend the extra $7.00 per invitation 
No. Unless the vendor is a friend, they are not a guest, and thus do not get an invite. They have business contracts with you. However, it is customary to send an invite to the minister. You may want to have one on hand for the photographer to take pictures of but that is the only thing they do with them.
I am doing this. It is not only a nice gesture, but it will also remind them to be there. They are also getting save the dates.
I'd send one to the photographer, maybe with a nice little note, so that s/he has it for photos AND to confirm times, etc.
I'm not going to mail them an invite, but I am going to send them an email asking for their dinner choice.
Hmm, seems like the responses are pretty split. Thanks for the input girls!
Don't do it. The relationship is professional, not personal. If you confuse the two you may not get the level of service you paid for. For example, a guest can drink and socialize. A vendor should not. But a vendor who is invited as a guest might think it is ok to shirk their duties and have a couple drinks.
If they are remotely professional, they will already have your date written down and will know to not miss it. Mainly because they will be held liable (and can be taken to court and sued, among other things) if they don't show up. They really should not need an invite to remind them to do their jobs.
No, but we are thinking of taking them out to dinner after the wedding to thank them :)
Its customary to send to the officiant and we'll also be sending to the photographer but thats mainly for picture purposes.
I only sent one out to the DJ as he was a family friend and we were inviting his wife as well.
I did ask the photographer how many seats for dinner though since I knew there was going to be an assistant there.
Im sending invites to a couple vendors (planner, venue, cake, officiant, florist), but im not sending them to everyone. basicaly, im seding them to the vendors i know will appreciate them :)

Curious to see if people are sending invitations to vendors. I feel like it could be a nice way to let them know they are more than just a vendor/cost to us but then again, not sure if they will really care? Thoughts?
