If the guest leaves they don't get anything either, although I believe they can still come in late(but still before the cutoff point for entry), as long as they stay for the rest of the ceremony to the end.
Got it, thank you very much for the clarification! Once my husband and I get through the quest chain and get to where we can pick a date, I'll have to post back here on the forums to see if anyone's in the same situation & wants to trade invitations.

Thanks again for the info!
