Due to an upsurge in the number of COVID 19 cases, the big fat Indian wedding has again taken a backseat. And, intimate weddings with 50 people has topped the level of celebration. 🤔
If you are planning an intimate wedding, then we have got Shweta Acharya, the founder of Baraati Inc, and her resourceful advice for planning a 50 people wedding!
1. Choose a Family Home or Quaint Resort as your Wedding Venue: You do not need a huge space for a 30-50 people gathering, so why waste the budget on one? Opt for a family house/farm house in the hills or countryside, or choose a house on Airbnb and check if the owner is willing to rent out the whole bungalow for a small wedding.
2. For a Home wedding, divide the house into different hosting zones for different events. Creating movement in the house will be key! For example, one can host, 1. A Boho-Parisian Mehendi on the terrace or Sangeet and Cocktails in the lawn under fairy lights. 2. A beautiful floral wedding mandap in the lawn will be ideal to host the Wedding during the day
3. You can now plan sit down dinner, picnic luncheons and barbeque sundowners! Conceptualise the food menu, plan the catering and dining style keeping with the vibe (formal, informal, casual, community hangout) that the couple wants to create for the event.
4. No Physical Gifts. Create a gift registry and share all information with regards to it on the website or in the invitations.
- 5. Personalise! Customisation is old school; personalisation is the new norm. Don’t think about how to change the looks of décor by choosing a colour palette of the couple's choice, rather think of ways in which their personality showcases in every aspect of the wedding. Personalise outfits, to menus, to décor, to song playlist.
