 This fascinating wedding ceremonies and festivities is a reflection of Malaysia`s cultures. Given the broad diversity of ethnic groups in these regions, it stands to reason that wedding customs will reflect this diversity.
Each ethnic group has its own wedding dresses or attire and different marriage ceremonies and customs. Within ethnic groups, those of different religious backgrounds will have different practices as well.
One of the most important concepts at Indonesian wedding seems to be "the more the merrier". Literally every relative, acquaintance, colleague or business partner could be invited to a wedding. Joining a group of others that are invited, even if one has not received an invitation personally is okay, as long as it is not a sit-down dinner in which case the limit is clearly stated on the invitation. In these countries, the families are truly honoured by your attendance at a wedding. On the other hand, not responding to the invitation, or not attending can cause a significant insult and slight to the giver, which can cause problems in your relationship in the future.
On the invitation will be noted the date, time and place for the actual wedding ceremony (akad nikah) as well as wedding reception.
