I don't think I've been to any that numbered more than 300. That one was for a girl (say girl cause the guy didn't care so long as he got to go someplace with her afterward) who only cared about all the pomp, circumstance, and showing off than who she married. He just happened to be the only one interested.
For our wedding we put out no more than $300 for wedding and reception combined. My dress was an heirloom and we bought suits not rented tuxes for the men. We ended up having about 150 or so guests. Many from the college community (including professors and college president) where hubby's parents had worked for over 16 years. It was in a small church, so small that we had to set up additional seating and use the balcony as well.
I cannot imagine spending so much for a wedding. When you're all about showing off how much money you've got you're bound to have divorce worthy arguements sooner or later over money. In that case why spend so much on something that won't last. If I had that much money I'd prefer to spend it on my honeymoon. Can you imagine how much fun that could be?
