In an effort to keep people solvent and not have to be burdened with serious debt the Antwerp Rabbonim established and enforced rules on the amount of guests one may invite to a wedding.
The Kehilas Machzekei Hadas in Antwerp set 250-300 people as a maximum allowed to be invited to a Chasuna.
Under extenuating circumstances, if one needs to invite more than the above he must have written permission from the Mara D'asra, Hagaon Harav Shif Shlit"a.
