Once Prince William makes an honest woman out of Kate Middleton on April 29, the royal couple will celebrate in lavish style at the same place his granny calls home: Buckingham Palace.
But just because you get invited to the wedding doesn't mean you'll make the cut for the after-parties.
The newlyweds have three different soirees, beginning with several hundred guests and eventually having only 100 at the final, most intimate fete. And only the two first two bashes will take place at the Queen's castle.
Here's how it breaks down.

First up after their 11 a.m. wedding is a luncheon, which 600 people will attend.
Nineteen rooms in the palatial mansion will be used for the afternoon party.
Considering there are 775 rooms total in the Palace, that's really not even very many.
Later that evening, the guest list gets chopped in half for a dinner hosted by Prince Charles and attended by only 300 guests.
Then, there's an even more exclusive, intimate party planned for only 100 people at a location not yet announced.
A wedding and three parties? We're getting tired just thinking about it.
