At a traditional indian wedding, you don't invite people. You tell your aunts and uncles and friends, and they tell their aunts and uncles and friends, and they tell theirs, etc, until you end up with 800 people at your wedding.

At $25-50+ a head for food and alcohol at reception alone, that is a huge number unless you come from wealth... However I think I read somewhere the average cost of South Asian wedding is $100-150k in California. Ouch.

Thanks for sharing. I just got married and did my own site - I forgot how time consuming even a regular HTML / CSS static site could be when you have a million other things going on - I would have loved to have used this.

I got married last month and thought about doing a site for a while (I just may still make one just for her sake with all the wedding pictures) but being a full-time web developer I knew it wouldn't just be slap on some pictures and HTML/CSS. I cannot tell you how many times I've struggled with CSS or JS and I use both daily! They're painful lessons, sometimes too easy to forget when you leave the front-end.

Are you really sure you want to carry on swinging over the importance of HN accepting harsh criticism of someone's wedding site? I mean, it's a _wedding_ site. Maybe just let it go?

It is a policy violation or it isn't. You can't have it both ways because of sympathy confusion. At any rate, it doesn't matter. A moderator has already interjected.

How does the "RSVP to google sheets" work? That's an extremely useful feature to have on a static site with no backend. It looks like it's related to this line: $.post(' https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbzUqz44wOat0DiGjRV1g... , data) ... how does the security work on that, or can I RSVP to your wedding too?
