As can be deduced from the data gathered in our surveys, only young people attended the wedding reception, except when older people got married. It was said that weddings led to new weddings. In the places where the parents of the bride and groom did not attend either the wedding or the celebration on the day, they were invited on the Sunday following the marriage.
In any case, the number of guests at the celebrations was usually very small in general. The people survey in several location explained that only the parents, the odd cousin and some uncles and aunts attended the weddings in the early 20<sup>th</sup> 20th century. Receptions with no more than twenty or thirty guests would be considered large at that time. However, a large number of neighbours were invited to the wedding celebrations in some places in the past.
Apart from the feast offered to the guests, the families often took into account any close relatives that could not attend the celebrations for whatever reasons.
