Common questions about Indian Wedding Budget for 100 Guests
What is the per-head cost for an Indian wedding?
Tier-1 (metro) cities: Rs 1,500-3,000 per head for food alone. Venue adds Rs 800-2,000. Total per-head cost in metros: Rs 3,000-6,000. In tier-2 cities: Rs 1,000-2,000 per head for food, Rs 400-800 for venue. Total: Rs 1,500-3,000. These are estimates for a mid-range wedding - luxury weddings run 3-5x more.
How do I budget for a 100-guest wedding on Rs 10 lakh?
Rs 10 lakh for 100 guests: venue Rs 2 lakh, catering Rs 4 lakh (Rs 400/head food plus service), decoration Rs 1 lakh, photography Rs 1 lakh, clothing Rs 80,000, invitations Rs 20,000, miscellaneous Rs 1 lakh. This is a tight but achievable budget for a tier-2 city with tasteful choices.
What can I cut from an Indian wedding to save money?
Biggest savings: off-season dates (Nov-Feb are peak, May-Sept cheaper), weekday weddings (Monday-Thursday save 20-30% on venue), buffet over plated service, local decorators over national brands, digital invites, and a single venue for both ceremony and reception. Guest list reduction saves proportionally on food and venue.
