As they are familiar with the location, things tend to go smooth as planned. It is also easy to negotiate with local vendors compared to other foreign vendors and make sure if this saves your money.

1. Be prepared for miscellaneous expenses

It is advised to be alert and prepared for extra expenses which often tends to occur in a wedding despite properly calculating cash for the wedding. These miscellaneous charges might be 100 rupees to even 1,00,000. Be prepared to settle the amount and make sure it is done at the wedding scenario time itself. Do not postpone your payments for even a day. It is again advised to not let these kinds of charges keep following you wherever you go. So pay the bills at the course of the wedding season itself. Include them in your budget planner as one of the important expenses even if they don’t account for much in the list.
