-
Send e-mail invites o a friends who won't mind being invited electronically. Save on printing and stamps.
-
Ditch the five-star hole -in-the-pocket venue. The lush green lawns of many clubs are rented out for wedding and work out much cheaper. Plus, you get a plush ambience for a fraction of the cost of a five star banquet hall.
-
Plan for a huge salad bar. And then cut back on the number of dishes at the actual buffet.
-
Ask venue managers for catering or decorating services at a discount.
-
Ask an arty friend to help you with your mandap design. Not only will it be cheaper, you'll also get a unique set.
-
Don't buy the pidhis. Ask the venue managers to provide them, or borrow from someone who has them. Also try hiring samagri items for the ceremony.
-
Get talented friend to compare your ceremonies. It's more personal.
-
Choose flowers that are in season and available local, rather than exotic out-of-season blooms.
-
Cut costs on decorations. Rope in enthusiastic young cousins and friends to doll up the venue with balloons, ribbons and streamers for pre-wedding bashes.
-
Use banana leaves, coconut shell candles and dry flowers to create an exotic ambience, cost-effectively.
