There are many differences and similarities between the Saudi culture and the American culture on holidays. In Saudi Arabia and America when someone invite you to his house you should bring something with you , it could be flowers,food or a gift. Also , they are similar in the way they celebrate for the wedding anniversary. They buy gift for each other or they spend the night together.
In Saudi Arabia we don't usually celebrate for birthdays, bit if we did we invite friends and family. Also,we bring some gifts and sweets.
In Saudi when you invite someone to dinner you have to pay ,but in United State each one will pay for himself.The wedding culture in Saudi Arabia is different from American culture. In Saudi Arabia wedding are always at night and the women are separated from men , but in America weddings can be at anytime of the day and women can stay together and they can drink and talk with them.
I didn't know that the weddings in KSA were always at night, very interesting post. I learned quite a bit, glad you went into such detail.
