[quote=Anonymous]Indian Desi multi-day weddings are to accommodate the wedding rituals and traditions.  (Eg - Ganesh Pooja/Mata Ki Chowki/Havan, Sangeet, Haldi, Mehndi, Wedding, Reception, Vidai).  Many people are skipping calling a large number of people for these events and they call only for Wedding and Reception.

Cost for Indian weddings that I have attended in DMV have ranged from $5K - 350K.  It is [b]extremely easy[/b] to spend money in an Indian wedding.  Clothes for all relatives. Gifts to all relatives. Paying for rooms for relatives and friends. Top tier booze. Gold jewellery for the married couple. Tour bus for close relatives for DC. Shuttle service for getting people from the airport. Photographer for the 4 days, DJ for the 4 days, Event planner for multiple days, multiple Henna artists, multiple MUA, bartenders and servers for multiple days, attendents for elderly relatives, babysitters for the little ones of the family, and the huge guest list.   Having a small wedding means - from 100 - 350 guests.  [/quote]
