I think we have more friends because we both have small families. He's an only child and I didn't grow up with my father so I was an only child. Didn't meet my siblings till much later and only 2 out of 4 will be invited.
More family was invited but I think more friends will show up! My family all lives in another province (with the exception of my parents and brother) so I don't expect my extended family to come.
