I think you made it up so you could pretend to be offended.
Actually, I have heard a priest announce this - it was years ago, probably around 1980, when I was attending a wedding over at St. Thomas More in Decatur.
I think when there is a wedding or funeral where the priest knows there are a lot of non-Catholics in attendance, he may make an announcement because of the likelihood that somebody may not know about/understand the Catholic practice.

And the guidelines are printed on the inside cover of the missalettes! Wow! Anyone who reads can figure it out!

Happens all the time. I've seen it at weddings, funerals, baptisms, etc. We welcome Non-Catholics to our celebrations! The Holy Eucharist is special.
