In India, weddings are not just ceremonies - they're BIG events! Parents and families save for years to give their children a memorable wedding. But here's the problem: Most people only think about TODAY's costs and forget that prices keep rising every year.
You're planning a ₹25 lakh wedding for your daughter who's 15 now. You think "I'll save ₹25 lakhs". WRONG! By the time she's 25 (10 years), that SAME wedding will cost ₹54 lakhs! That's more than DOUBLE!
Venue Costs
Hotels, banquet halls keep increasing rates 8-10% every year
Food & Catering
Per-plate costs go up as food prices rise across India
Gold Jewelry
Gold prices historically rise 10-12% per year - faster than everything else!
Photography & Decoration
Professional services getting more expensive every year
💡 Smart Planning Tip: The earlier you start saving, the easier it becomes! Even ₹5,000/month SIP for 10 years can become ₹11+ lakhs (at 12% returns). Start small, start early, and give your family a beautiful wedding without financial stress.
Wedding planning starts with a number. Don't just guess! Use the calculator above to see what a ₹20 Lakh wedding today will actually cost in 5 years. Most families underestimate inflation and face a 20-30% shortfall.
In typical Indian wedding planning, the guest list determines everything. Small Wedding: <100 guests | Medium: 300-500 guests | Big Fat Wedding: 800+ guests. Your venue choice and food cost (per plate) depend entirely on this number.
Gold is an investment, not just an expense. However, gold prices rise faster than general inflation. If you plan to give 20 Tolas of gold, buy it in phases over the years (SIP in Gold Bonds or Digital Gold) rather than buying it all at once during the wedding.
For auspicious dates (Saya dates), venues get booked 6+ months in advance. Planning early gives you negotiation power. Last-minute bookings can cost 20% extra.
The easiest way to stress-free wedding planning is a dedicated SIP. Even a small amount of ₹5,000 started 7 years early can grow significantly. Use the "Monthly SIP" figure from our calculator and start today!
