But when it comes to spend this money on education Indian people find it expensive and want to save that money for the weddings of their child. hence today in this article we are going to tell you the some best ways to avoid unnecessary expenses in Indian weddings for both the bride and groom (and their families) to realize that the wedding is not an occasion to show-off their wealth (which they actually do not possess). Therefore go through the points listed below as money is just a tool – what you do with it shows character.

1. Cut the guest list to just relatives and close friends (No need to invite all ‘friends’ or ‘associates’ or ‘business partners’. Keep the list to the family.) Some people might call you a miser for not throwing an extravagant gala, cut those people out of the guest list first of all.Just invite those who really matter to you and those who have been a considerable part of you/your families’ life.

2. Cut on expensive resorts. One of the biggest ways to reduce spending is focused on novelty rather than on grandeur. Think of innovative ideas to do simple stuff and people remember those more. (Quite easy to do because of the small guest list)

3. Cut on super-expensive wedding dresses. No need to spend lakhs on one-time wear. Inexpensive clothing looks equally good anyway. Although you can look for renting the wedding dresses and accessories, including Sherwani, Indo western, lehenga, sarees. You will never really use them again.

4. Cut on food expenses. Do you seriously need 5 cuisines for your marriage party? Cut down on low priority events saving you on both food and rental. Also, when deciding menu knows the price for each item. Try to cut a couple of the expensive parts. You should also see if some of your guest lists can be prioritized.

5. Lastly, say no to dowry. Stop following the stupid ‘ritual’.Follow your heart and ready to enjoy the best moment of your life.i.e your own wedding.

So, these are some ways which help you to retain the grandness in your ceremonies and still cut a lost of costs.

PS: Don’t give a shit about what people might think (everyone is judgemental, including you and I). But, it takes just a week for these people to forget you and your wedding.
