    It's expected that you invite the entire workhouse.

      I spent about £10K on my son's last party. But I guess that's on the cheap side for a wedding.
      Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

        It's a bargain compared to the divorce.

            Theres 42 of them!

            Not cheap. Told Mrs RSVP and no reply means not coming. I'm praying for a good few nos!

            Remember when son was younger. Surely if you go to a party you but the kid a present? We always spend £10-£15 whenever daughter goes. I remember the number of people who strolled in with a 99p sticker still on the card. I did threaten to check presents at door with no present=no admission policy :-)

            And dont get me started on those who say they're going then dont turn up - even though they know its cost you money.
            Tell them presents below the value of £16 will be rejected (as well as their child)

                Fancy dress and muslim kids. It hardly bears thinking about!

                  then they'll get in for about £3.50 each rather than the £16 you've paid

                    Bet there's not as much room as this place ..

                    2017-06-05 Astonishing Grade II-listed 18th century mansion tucked away behind streets of suburban semis goes on the market for just £350,000

                    (The article mentions the buyer would be obliged to do some renovation, but doesn't say how much this would be likely to cost.)
