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.

Say you get married young, early 20s, you may have less accumulated friends.
By the time you are early 30s you will have probably accumulated more.
Friends from uni / college, work places, hobbies etc.
How many of these people invited you to their weddings? Usually fair that you reciprocate.
That’s how you end up with long guest lists.
Speak for yourself I guess. Most people would tell you that the amount of friends negatively correlates with age.
I’ve made one or two “friends” during my 30’s and both are my customers. I barely stay in contact with any of the people I was friends with in my 20’s as they’ve all moved elsewhere and I’m the only one who never left my hometown.
Who makes more friends in their 30’s instead of them drifting/moving away?? Please reveal your secrets.
I’m the opposite. Lots and lots of friends in my early 20s, almost none now
I got married at 40. Parents, siblings, 3 friends. We had a blast.
I have about 30 friends, but they’re all over the world. These 3 friends lived where we got married.
I have a large family, but why would I want to waste money (for both them and me) inviting them to a huge event during which I probably won’t get to talk to them because there are so many people?
Yeah if id gotten married around 28-34 like most people who’s weddings I either attended or was in then I could easily get 200 when including family friends.
My mom got jokingly mad at me for not getting married at the time because the unwritten understanding is that wedding gifts are a kind of a communal form of mutual aid. Everybody in the community gives gifts wedding gifts so the couple has a leg up to start out, she paid in to that but until my brother got married wasn’t getting anything back lol
