Question
What should I wear to each event?
Answer
Wear whatever you'd like! Most of Annie's family and friends are planning to wear traditional Indian attire, but feel free to switch it up for each event. If you'd like to wear Indian attire for one event, Friday night is most ideal. Most people will have a different outfit for each event, so a total of 3 different outfits! Some popular Indian styles to search for are Saree, Lehenga and Salwar Kameez. A jumpsuit, long dress or Salwar Kameez is recommended for the ceremony as you will be sitting on the floor.

Question
Where should we go during the break?
