I have a good group of friends and a reasonable sized family. I can’t wrap my head around these weddings with 100-300 guests. Am I a loser or are they inviting mostly tertiary characters.

    Why are you doubling the second time? Are you suggesting that you need to invite +1 guests for the friends of your friends for some reason?

    Edit:

    Aha. “They” is the future spouse not the friends you’re talking about. Duh.

      OP calculation is for half of the bride/groom. Weddings typically take 2 to tango

        Ah got it. The family made sense but friends were confusing me: the “they” refers to your spouse, not the friends in question.
