Modern Indian Weddings

The “Big Fat Indian Wedding” is getting smarter, more intimate, and technologically advanced. Here are the top trends we are seeing this season.

1. Digital Cash Gifts (UPI Shagun)

Gone are the days of fumbling for envelopes. QR codes at reception desks are becoming standard. Apps like Nyota make this classy and organized.

2. Sustainable Decor

Using marigolds that can be composted, renting props instead of buying, and digital invites to save paper.

3. Intimate Guest Lists

Quality over quantity. Families are inviting 200 close friends instead of 1000 acquaintances, allowing for better hospitality.

4. The Digital Guestbook

Instead of a physical book, guests record video messages and digital wishes that the couple can cherish forever.

5. Personalized Return Gifts

Customized hampers based on guest preferences, tracked via apps to ensure no one is missed.
