 Usually, the number of people or guests attending an Indian wedding is more than 500, and it is a regular affair to attend marriages in India.At the same time, most people are invited through word of mouth and the success of the whole affair depends on the number of people attending it.While comparing with other types of wedding, reception cards (especially in South Indian marriages) are given to the guests because in this culture there is no tradition of a baraat (a groom's procession).
