FAQs

Question

I don't see a registry. How do I know what gift to get the newlyweds?

Answer

Please do not feel obliged to buy us a gift; all that we are expecting is you! However, for those who would like to contribute cash to our rainy day fund, a box will be available at the venue for envelopes.

Question

What is the dress code for the event?

Answer

Indian wedding/celebration wear is highly encouraged, however; it is not required. The bride and groom will be in traditional Indian wedding clothing and would love to see all of our guests in beautiful and colorful attire as well. Please avoid white and shades of white (e.g., white, cream, beige, off-white, etc.). For ladies, please search for items such as "saris", "lengha choli", or "salwar kameez suit". For men, please search for "kurta suit" or "sherwani suit". Please visit the following Pinterest Board for inspiration: https://www.pinterest.com/cpatel0729/indian-wedding-attire-ideas/ There are many Etsy shops that will make garments specifically to your measurements. For the safety of your transaction, please be sure to read the shop's reviews and look for high star ratings prior to purchasing. You may also purchase ready-to-wear items from sites such as Amazon as well. Note: the Etsy shop will typically provide you with all the measurements that are needed for your custom-made outfit.
