Hmmmmm
Only close relatives are invited with some friends tho in a nice hall
But my question still remains....is traditional marriage compulsory cos me no fancy dat tin at all
If you're African, that is what our ancestors did until about 70 years ago when church weddings/registry gradually came into fashion. It is the most important. A woman does not fall from the sky, she's someone's daughter.

Who says God does not witness it when the parents/family of the girl gives the bride to you in marriage?

Any self-respecting church/registry will first ensure no impediment from family before conducting a wedding ceremony.

I see everyone here saying smal /moderate guest. As if you guys won't print IV. You think its everyone you invited will show for your party. People don't need IV dis days to attend a ceremony. They will showup without ur IV.

My advse is if you have 100 people in mind, make preparation for anoda 100 (uninvited) guests.

This can only be determined by the size of your pockets. Big pockets large guest list. Small pockets small guest list.

Small guest!
Re: Wedding: Would You Rather Have A Large Or Small Guest List? by Nobody: 4:27am On Jul 30, 2017
People are being economical with the truth.
Small,I agree but everybody want lots of guests cos the more the guests,the more the doo or gifts to cover expenses and pray for some small addition on top.
Who goes to a wedding without gift in nigeria?

Go to ur friend's wedding without gift and see the consequence after the wedding.

U guys should stop lying.

Beach wedding with family and pastor ke.

It is not always the couple that decide who's gonna attend but the family.
Now let's break it down:
Groom Dad:
Dad:
Dads friends.
Elder brother (if any) friends.
Little brother (if any) friends.
Elder sister (if any) friends.
Little sister (if any) Friends.
Cousins and friends.
Association or committee (if any).

Groom Mother:
Just as above.

Groom brothers
Friends
Groom sisters
Friends
Groom friends
Neighborhood


Bride:
Same as above
Now all this depends on the number of individual on each category.
This is according to Yoruba tradition

less than 50 for me. spend our money on buying a house and taking a lavish honeymoon instead of using that money to feed wicked people that came to gossip and look for what to laugh at.

Quality over quantity.

Prince Charles and Lady Diana had one of the biggest marriages in the world at that time and probably still. I don't need to tell you how that one went down in flames.

Everybody wants to get married on the beach at sunset....but this Nigeria....

If you are not getting married on a Primary school field or In front of your papa's house then you might b lucky enough to hold your wedding in an event center.

I totally love a small intimate wedding guests list as everyone is saying, but we all have failed to realise that the wedding isn't for the would be couple, as Nigerian parents/relative always see it as theirs, and go ahead to over stretch it from the wedding guests list inviting people that the intending couples don't even know thereby stretching the budget and every other logistic involved.
