Blanks may not properly cycle the action. I know this isn’t a real concern for celebrations, but it does put a damper on the fun when you have to rack the charging handle after every round.
If part of your culture is firing guns in the air as celebration, I might not get it, but I can support that it’s a cultural tradition.
That being said, some people do fireworks in the US to celebrate weddings, it’s not like they have a pile of old gunpowder that they just set off in the middle of the crowd. Guests, or the couple, will supply the celebratory munitions. I feel like the host could have just bought a crate of common caliber blanks and left it in a corner.
Blanks do exist… why use real bullets, that’s just stupid at the highest levels.

But life is cheap, I guess…
Wait! Celebratory gunfire is not just one shot in the air? Is it like one clip per guest?!
It depends, but it’s often a few shots from whoever has the gun.
Blanks require you to buy them, in a lot of these places you already have a pile of spare Soviet or local ammo at home.
I mean, it’s a wedding.

imagine shooting 100 arrows directly up in the air and just standing there
it’s that level of stupid
It’s much easier to buy people killers than blanks.
