I think you’re being tongue in cheek but bit mean imo.

They start drying up as you get older. Once you’re in your late 30s people start getting to the divorce stage instead.

No matter how economically you try to be with your wedding planning, it still costs ££ per head so I don’t understand making up the numbers thing. We had to keep trimming our guest list down.

If we host a party for 8+people we’ll usually end up spending at least £150 on food and booze.
Can’t imagine why you’d want or need to invite people to anything ‘to make up the numbers’

i dunno I find them really stressful to attend even if I have nothing to contribute organisation-wise.
They’re also expensive af, couple of friends of mine have just stopped attending most of their invites because more than 1/2 a year (as an attendee) can really bankrupt you

don’t know how the economics of it works but it’s definitely a thing

*If attendees all throw in money in their card does it not cancel out the cost (of their individual attendance)

They really depend on who’s wedding it is. If you’re an A and it’s a friends wedding then it’s almost guaranteed to be ace, but if you’re an A and it’s a family wedding then it’s likely shite. A family B wedding is almost always shite, a friend B can go either way. A friend C wedding will probably be shit because you won’t know anyone there, but a family C great because you can just eat up your free meal and hit the road as soon as the free wine runs out

So really you only want to be going to distant family and close friend weddings, all other invites should be shunned

I am fortunate that my family don’t Kick Off At Weddings.

We have one cousin left as it were and the fan is hyyyyyped. Gonna be in Bristol too. Cracking

I just remembered that I had a wedding invite in May that didn’t happen because of Covid. I was invited to the evening reception on the condition that I would help serve food & drink and stay till the end to clear up. As written in the invite. That must make me group D.

I’ve cleaned up and served food/drinks at other weddings before, but that was because the hired staff were overwhelmed or inexperienced. But the presumptious-ness made me livid. LIVID. Do the couple only see me as free labour?

Must be nice to be comfortable in a room full of unknowns. Olds and kids are the worst for making me anxious; the olds have a higher than usual probability of being conservative and kids are unpredictable.
