Frequently Asked Questions
How do I budget for my own wedding?
List all wedding expenses: venue (20-30% of budget), catering and food (15-25%), jewellery and clothing (15-20%), photography and decor (10-15%), entertainment and music (5-10%), and miscellaneous (10%). Always keep a 10-15% contingency buffer. Start saving via SIPs at least 2-3 years before the planned date.
Should I take a loan for my wedding?
Avoid wedding loans if possible. Start an SIP 2-3 years before the wedding to build a corpus. If you must borrow, use a gold loan (lower interest at 10-12%) rather than a personal loan (14-20%). Keep borrowed amounts to under 30% of the total wedding cost.
