Question

Answer

Question

I’ve never been to an Indian wedding before. What should I expect?

Answer

Traditionally, Indian weddings tend to be large and span over a couple of days. Although each region of India has its own specific customs, the general concept is the same – it’ll be a Big Fat Indian Wedding, filled with vibrant colors, music, and plenty of food and dancing. Although family members and close friends may have a role, the remainder of the guests are invited to sit back and enjoy.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

There are several different types of Indian outfits, and there no specific requirements for what types of outfits should be worn to which events. For the Wedding Ceremony, we encourage guests to wear outfits that are bright and bold – and don’t be afraid to accessorize. We kindly request guests to avoid wearing red to the wedding ceremony, as the bride and groom will be dressed in those colors. The dress code for the Reception will be formal evening attire.

Question

What kind of food will there be?

Answer

We often say that the best part of an Indian wedding is the food. There will be a wide variety of dishes with Jain, vegetarian and non-vegetarian options at each of the events. The food will be served buffet style, so that guests will have the option to choose what they’d like to eat. Please let us know if you have any food restrictions or allergies.

Question

Are there any religious restrictions around attire we should be aware of?

Answer

Traditionally, Indian culture avoids the color Black to the religious wedding ceremony. However, Black suits are an acceptable attire. Black color attire is acceptable at other events as well.

Question

How formal is the reception?

Answer

Indian Women will primarily be seen in Indian style floor length dresses. A Western floor length dress or a short dress will all be an appropriate attire if you do not have an Indian outfit. Others will be dressed in suit and tie.

Question

Do you have a registry?

Answer
