Sounds like an Indian wedding! I had a friend who married a few years
back - she told me that her parents had to hand deliver invitations to
everyone in their town/village. Apparently, to send them through the
post is an insult if you live in the same town?! Hundreds upon hundreds
showed up. I have no idea how they managed RSVPs, or if they did it
that way at all.
