Planning for a Wedding in India

Weddings in India are grand affairs and the costs have been steadily rising. From venue bookings and catering to decorations, photography, and jewellery, the expenses can add up quickly. Planning and saving systematically well in advance can help you manage this significant financial milestone without taking on debt.

Rising Wedding Costs

The average Indian wedding cost has been increasing at 8-10% annually. A wedding that costs Rs 20 lakhs today could cost Rs 35-40 lakhs in 10 years due to inflation. Venue costs, catering rates, and gold prices are major contributors to this increase.

Systematic Saving Approach

Starting a dedicated SIP for marriage expenses allows you to build a corpus gradually. The power of compounding works in your favour when you start early. Even small monthly investments can grow into a substantial amount over 10-15 years, reducing the financial burden significantly.
