The first five decisions
- Budget: a total that both families agree on.
- Guest count: a number for each side.
- Date: two or three options, checked with elders and the priest.
- Venue: booked for that date.
- Functions: which ones you will hold, and on which days.
Everything else, from the menu to the mehndi, is easier once these five are settled. The checklist takes it from there.
