Let’s start from the start and see the changes and evolution of marriage in the last 10 years.
Invitation Cards
The first thing for any marriage is to fix a date and select an invitation card. 10 years back from now, wedding cards were more of a formality. The families used to visit a general card shop, choose a card, and done according to the Indian wedding trends then.
Today, there are special Invitation card designers, who design a card exclusively for you, taking care of your likes and dislikes. A box of chocolates or sweets complementing the card is also designed to take care of the choice and needs of the family. You will be amazed to know that today, many couples want to go one step ahead and want their personal Marriage invitation website. The website showcases their love story, their pics, and a formal invitation for the wedding.
Location/Venue
After selecting the card, comes the Venue selection. I hope you remember 10 years back from now, community halls or parks in the locality were chosen as your wedding venue. That’s what normally happened. But today not only the venue but couples prefer choosing a location away from their hometowns and plan their wedding. Hotels, farmhouses, and exotic locations, today make the marriage celebrations of the couple all the more memorable. Destination weddings are a trend nowadays. Reach us for more details
