Here is your essential checklist for planning an Indian wedding.
1. Setting up Date and Venue
Set the date and confirm a venue. This sets the base for planning your Indian wedding. As most popular venues get booked months, even years, prior, setting the date is an important step in planning your wedding. Take extra care to consider the season, weather, and availability of your desired venue. Once the date and venue are confirmed, you can start planning the rest of Indian wedding management.
2. Create a Budget
It is very important to have a budget since, with proper planning, overspending can definitely be avoided. Talk this over with your partner and families on how much is to be contributed to what. Prepare a list of all probable expenses, ranging from the venue, catering, attire, to decorations and entertainment. A clear budget will guide you through informed decisions at every step of planning.
3. Planning Pre-Wedding Ceremonies
The pre wedding ceremonies during an Indian wedding are an engagement, mehendi, sangeet, and haldi. Each one of the ceremonies will require careful planning and coordination. Choose a date, venue, and guest list for the respective events. Ensure that you have all the necessary outfits and accessories for each ceremony.
4. Select the Wedding Attire
Most brides-to-be eagerly look forward to making the right choice for the wedding attire, that are the wedding lehenga or saree, jewelry and accessory choices. The grooms have to decide between the sherwani or the suit. They also cannot forget to finalize their outfits for the pre-wedding ceremonies. Plan ahead, and make sure to leave ample time for fittings and alterations before shopping.
5. Book Vendors
Booking reliable vendors is the main facilitation for a smooth wedding experience. This includes catering, photographers, videographers, makeup artists, and decorators. Research and book vendors in advance to ensure availability. Jannat Events can help you find trusted vendors and coordinate all aspects of your wedding, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
6. Plan the Wedding Invitations
Your wedding invitations are one of the most important introductions to your wedding day. Choose an invitation design that reflects your wedding theme and style. Make a guest list well in advance and send out the invitations accordingly. Also, ensure that all the details are included in the invitation: date, time, venue, and dress code. If you want all the comprehensive details from your guests, you can also make a wedding website.
7. Make Transportation and Accommodation Arrangements
Ensure transport and accommodations are arranged for out-of-town guests. Arrange the booking of hotel rooms and ensure transport for them, to and from the venue. You can also order shuttle service if not too pricey for your budget. Jannat Events will take care of all the arrangements making sure your guests enjoy the day in all comfort.
8. Organize the Wedding Rituals
Indian marriages are very ritualistic and traditional. Plan your wedding ceremony along with your priest or pandit. Ensure that all the necessary items like mandap, havan kund, and pooja items are in place. Discuss the sequence of the rituals and also ensure that everyone connected with the rituals and ceremonies is well-informed about their respective roles and responsibility.
9. Plan the Reception
It is already a time of celebration with family and friends. You must plan for the reception venue, menu, and entertainment. You might consider hiring either a DJ or a live band to entertain your guests throughout the reception. Decorate the venue to match the theme of the wedding and create the ambiance. You can do it with the help of Jannat Events.
10. Be Prepared for the Big Day
Make a detailed timeline of events as the wedding approaches. Give some responsibilities to some members of the family and friends so everything goes smoothly.
