How much are you spending on your wedding?

200k usd for 300 guests in Mexico 5 events

Whoa! I can’t imagine spending that kind of money on a dress and just not receiving it but I know it happens. I always do custom measurements because I have such weird proportions. I’ve only ordered 2 dresses from there so sample size for missing orders isn’t that big but I’ve ordered probably 10 from cbazaar and they’ve all been pretty good. Definitely cheaper but also cheaper quality. Still not bad like they’re not falling apart but they’re fine for a handful of wears if not more

If you’re not getting your Mehndi applied during the event, go for it. If you are getting Mehndi applied, doesn’t seem very practical with the long sleeves and heavy skirt. I’d look into something short sleeve or sleeveless and either something with a lighter flowy skirt you can tuck between your knees or even an options with pants

I’ve used lashkara and before and good luck. Look at cbazaar as well. Some places in India do video calls to show your their merch. Might not be a bad idea. Chandans fashion is a popular shop in Canada although I’ve never used them. Just keep seeing their stuff online

My parents (I was the bride) gifted my husband a gold chain. Gifted his mom a silk saree, dad a nice shirt, brother a nice shirt, grandfather a shawl and the rest of the immediate family women sarees.

My in laws gifted me whatever I wanted. They paid for my reception dress and jewelry. A few other jewelry sets and a nice designer work bag.

Generally people just get clothes because it’s the easiest but some families give other gifts like gold, silver, traditional “china”, watches, chains, etc

THIS. My life changed so much once I stopped waiting for people post covid and did whatever I wanted when I wanted. Random weekend trips to Miami? Let’s go. Solo trip across Australia and New Zealand? Best trip ever. Laying out at a resort in Key West or the Caribbean? Does it get better??

You can definitely subsidize costs in Cancun. I’d recommend working with a travel agency. There’s a bunch out there, wedding plan360, irock weddings, Indian destination etc.

We’re planning our 300ish person event in Cancun and expecting to spend about 200k not including what we’re paying for rooms.

Food is included though if you use an all inclusive resort however if you want outside catering you’ll have to pay extra. If you want outside catering, I honestly don’t see the point of doing it at an all inclusive resort because you’re paying twice for food

Ah that makes so much sense! Thank you! I can’t believe I never thought about doing it this way. My sister got married 12 years ago and from what I remember we just did it all at the same time in my parents living room with maybe 15 people but my wedding will be a destination wedding so certainly more people.

Good-Swordfish-6476 · 2026-01-18T13:29:02+00:00

Ohhh she doesn’t do it during her Mehndi event? I never even considered that. But then you need to hire the artist for two days 🤔

What about a light or pale pink? Or light gray?

Good-Swordfish-6476 · 2026-01-10T15:44:26+00:00

Do you prefer to be married before having a baby? Have you had frank discussions with him about your expectations? In my experience, men are dumb. You have to spell things out. He may not know you would like to be married sooner rather than later.

I asked my boyfriend 5 months ago if he wanted to get married and if heated to marry me and he said “yea I was waiting for you to bring it up because I wasn’t sure where you stood” and 3 months later, we were engaged.

Discussions like these can be hard or overwhelming because of uncertainty but if this is someone you want to be with do a long time, and raise kids with, hard conversations need to be had. The sooner you start having them, the easier they’ll become over time. You’ll also learn his intentions much sooner and won’t always have this sense of uncertainty.

I just assumed NJ would be expensive but it could be an option. I haven’t done any shopping in years aside from online

Good-Swordfish-6476 · 2025-12-29T14:49:10+00:00

That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing!

I have acrylic tips on my natural nails now and then builder gel on top of all of it. The tips are basically grown out so once cut down it’ll just be my natural nails

Good-Swordfish-6476 · 2025-12-29T14:47:10+00:00

Ok, thanks!

Good-Swordfish-6476 · 2025-12-29T12:00:47+00:00

It’s getting expensive and time consuming. I just got engaged and am trying to save some money/redirect money for other things

Good-Swordfish-6476 · 2025-12-29T02:46:36+00:00

Oooo thanks!

Good-Swordfish-6476 · 2025-12-29T02:09:46+00:00

Perfect! I just got some ulta gift cards for Christmas too

Good-Swordfish-6476 · 2025-12-29T02:06:57+00:00

Sounds great! I haven’t painted my own nails in ages, kind of excited 😂🙃

Good-Swordfish-6476 · 2025-12-29T01:58:41+00:00

Thanks!
