Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When any one of you is invited to a wedding feast, he should attend.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the food of the wedding banquet (walimah) is the worst food in which only the rich are specially invited and the needy are not fed, and whoever refuses the invitation to the walimah has disobeyed Allah and His Messenger.
