Why do Russians only invite 150 people to their wedding when their countrymen invite all their friends and family?

Because Russian people's own national custom is to invite only 150 people, and 150 is a very lucky number in Russia, I believe that the Russian newcomers also like the Chinese like good intentions. We know that the wedding banquet is a very normal thing, not only the Chinese wedding banquet or the Western wedding. Newlyweds invite their friends and family to the banquet to witness the important moment of their entering into marriage. In China it is customary to try to invite everyone, while in Russia it is optimal to have 150 people.

Russian weddings are like those in the West. The newlyweds wear suits and dresses and white wedding gowns, and friends and family gather to witness the couple take their vows. In fact 150 people is considered a large number. Of course Chinese banquets invite family members, friends and colleagues and even neighbors to add up to more than 150 people for sure. If 150 people is an auspicious number, then it's not surprising that Russian couples go for it. Who doesn't want their wedding to be joyful and auspicious?

Weddings are very sacred in the eyes of foreigners. Foreigners don't have marriage licenses, and they open their marriages with their own vows at the wedding, in front of the priest. Russians are no exception. Compared to the Chinese, who like to be lively and festive, Russians are more concerned about the participation of family and friends. It is expected that those important people are at the wedding and bless their marriage. And there is a lot of work to prepare before the wedding, the Russians determined the number of 150 people invited, in fact, indirectly determine the number of wedding invitations, wedding candy, seating.

China often says that marriage is not child's play. So do the Russians, who also organize their weddings with care, picking auspicious numbers and inviting friends and family to create a good atmosphere for the bride and groom. Although in China, a wedding reception for 150 people may not be considered large. However, in western countries like Russia, where the culture is more individualistic and there are not many opportunities for unity, 150 people is actually a very large gathering. The Russian couple must have been very happy with the blessings of so many people.
