An invitation is different from information. I believe that an invitation is an honour extended to a close person.
Whenever I send an invitation, I always mention the name of the elder person in the family or I send a separate invitation for him. In the case of friends, we may or may not follow this rule.
Only important and close people should be invited. Everyone is not a relative or friend. Only people with blood relations are relatives and only people in whose family we have dined mutually are our friends.
When invitees are reduced, the expenditure proportionately comes down. When I conduct a function in my house, I see that the gifts are 70% of the expense. I have a thumb-rule for finalizing the invitees.
1. My parents and in-laws.
2. Living sambandhis of my parents.
3. My sambandhis.
4. My brothers and sisters.
5. My Wife's brothers and sisters
6. Their married children.
7. Close friends.
8. Neighbours.
[friends and neighbours are invited only for the wedding day]
