We&#8217;ve met up with him once before and he is really a very pleasant man and is making a lot of effort to make sure the 1\/2h ceremony are exactly the way we want it.<\/p>\n<p>1) Is it considered &#8220;good manners&#8221; to send him a wedding invitation? (Our ceremony and reception are at the same location, so this will then invite him to the reception too.) We&#8217;re definitely not looking for extra guests, but I don&#8217;t want to offend him.<\/p>\n<p>2) Should we pay him a tip? We will be paying tips to all the other service providers (DJ, photographer, etc.), but do you tip the minister? His fee alone is in excess of $500, so I almost feel that even though he&#8217;s making great effort, for that amount he should be making extra effort without being tipped too! Do you agree?<\/p>\n<h4>Deacon Bob Tousey<\/h4>\n<p>I am a wedding officiant and I never expect a tip. The fee I charge is all I expect. About twice a year someone will tip but it is very rare. As far as the reception, some couples invite me and others don&#8217;t. Officiants for the most part do not expect an invitation. Sometimes if I am saying the blessing I will stay for the reception or it I have gotten to know the couple real well. Do not feel obligated to invite the officiant unless you really would want him there. God Bless and best wishes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7302\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7302\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/199ec3e2e15a5353191ee774f75b809a-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7302\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/199ec3e2e15a5353191ee774f75b809a-1.jpg\" alt=\"tipping wedding minister\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/199ec3e2e15a5353191ee774f75b809a-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/199ec3e2e15a5353191ee774f75b809a-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/199ec3e2e15a5353191ee774f75b809a-1-533x800.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/199ec3e2e15a5353191ee774f75b809a-1-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/199ec3e2e15a5353191ee774f75b809a-1-472x708.jpg 472w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7302\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7302\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/199ec3e2e15a5353191ee774f75b809a-1.jpg\" alt=\"tipping wedding minister\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/199ec3e2e15a5353191ee774f75b809a-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/199ec3e2e15a5353191ee774f75b809a-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/199ec3e2e15a5353191ee774f75b809a-1-533x800.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/199ec3e2e15a5353191ee774f75b809a-1-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/199ec3e2e15a5353191ee774f75b809a-1-472x708.jpg 472w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elizabethannedesigns.com\/blog\/2012\/06\/14\/pink-green-rustic-texas-wedding\/\">elizabethannedesigns<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Donna, Wedding Queen, President; Top Wedding Sites, Inc\u00ae, a wedding planning guide, and Recent Mother of the Groom &#8211;<\/h4>\n<p>Tipping is always optional.
