Do I Invite Them To Da Reception?
Ok.. i’m planning a low budget wedding, basically family and very very close friends..
Do i invite the church coordinator, meaning the lady who is in charge of weddings at our church? We don’t have a close relationship with her.. is just “business”..
Also we are having both Father and Deacon (who we chose because we really really like him) marry us.. Do we invite them? How do we do it? Is it appropiate that we invite them? do we have to invite them??
If so.. do i give them da invititation when i give it to the rest of the people?
Thanks for your answers..
Hi. You certainly do not need to invite the church wedding coordinator, especially since you are on a budget. Is this someone that you are paying? If not, and if you want to, you can give her a small token gift for her time….some flowers, etc. or a gift card to a store.
It is courteous to invite the priest and the deacon (and the deacon’s wife if he is married) to the reception. Sometimes they accept, sometimes they don’t, but where I live, it has always been traditional to invite them. Yes, please MAIL them the invitation when you mail out the other invitations.
Definitely invite the people who are marrying you. It’s common courtesy. Send them an invitation like everyone else and if they choose to decline, then they will have a way of telling you politely, with the response card. If you chose the people since they are close to you, they will probably be honored to be invited to the celebration on your special day…congrats!
Yes, you need to invite everyone who’s involved in the ceremony to the reception. Otherwise this is considered rude.
You need to invite them just as any other guest, with an invitation. You can hand them an invitation to the reception but a formal invitation is considered appropriate.
I would not invite the church wedding planner. But I would invite Father and Deacon (and Deacon’s wife if married) to the reception. I would send them both an invitation when I sent out all the other invites.
(you can choose not to invite them, it is just something that I have done)
No you don’t invite her. She’s working for you. You are supposed to give invites to the ministers and invite them to the reception as well.
All invites are mailed out 6-8 weeks before the wedding date. Replies are due back 3-4 weeks before the wedding.
I would not invite the church coordinator. It would be nice to extend invites to the Father and Deacon but they will probably understand if you do not. You would send out their invites at the same time as when you send them out for the rest of your guests.
No, you do not have to invite any of these people. However, a slice of wedding cake should be fine. Congrats on your nuptials!
I would invite her. After all, she’s done work for you.
