    Your wedding date is fixed and it might be far off, but it’s a good idea to start planning ahead of time.<\/p>

    These are the tasks you should tackle ASAP to keep everything on track:<\/p>

    \u2610 Decide Wedding Budget<\/h5>

    Your wedding budget should be the first thing you consider before making any more plans.<\/p>

    It’s a crucial factor that will heavily influence all of your decisions moving forward. Take a moment to reflect on your financial comfort level and allocate resources accordingly.<\/p>

    \u2610 Create A Tentative Guest List<\/h5>

    Indian weddings = a huge guest list! What if you accidentally overlook someone significant?!<\/p>

    You’ll want to create a guest list and classify individuals into categories such as family, close relatives, distant relatives, friends, neighbors and colleagues.<\/p>

    \u2610 Pick A Wedding Destination<\/h5>

    Pick a country or region you both love. Don\u2019t forget to factor in weather conditions.<\/p>

    If you\u2019re thinking Mexico, here’s a list of the best all-inclusive Indian wedding packages<\/a> for you!<\/p>

    \u2610 Research The Marriage Laws<\/h5>

    Ensure that you are familiar with the legal requirements of the country where you have chosen to hold your wedding. Many couples opt for a civil ceremony in their country and then have a symbolic one at the destination.<\/p>

    \u2610 Visit The Venue<\/h5>

    Done shortlisting a few venues? Time and budget permitting, it’s a great idea to visit your potential wedding resorts before making a decision.<\/p>

    You can check out their venues and wedding packages, and even taste-test the food (not everyone can do justice to the flavors of Indian food!).<\/p>

    You can also check for accessibility features; the grandparents might not be able to walk from the resort to the beach gazebo or forest pavilion.<\/p>

    \u2610 Book The Venue<\/h5>

    Choose your wedding venue and secure the date with a deposit.<\/p>

    \u2610 Check Passport And Visa Requirements<\/h5>

    Don’t get caught with an expired passport right before the big day!

    Although not a very \u201cIndian\u201d thing to do, having a gift registry is all the rage at Indian weddings now!<\/p>
