Question 1

How much food do I need for a 200-guest Gujarati wedding?

Accepted Answer

Conservative starter estimates for a 200-guest Main Wedding: ~20 kg sweets, ~16 kg farsan, ~40 kg sabzi, ~30 kg rice, ~300 L water and ~100 L soft drinks. Use the Catering tab to recalculate for any guest count and event type — and always confirm final quantities with your caterer.

Question 2

How many round tables do I need?

Accepted Answer

Standard round tables seat 10. For 250 guests at the main wedding you'd need 25 round tables. The Tables tab also estimates seated floor area (1.5 m² per guest) plus a 20% buffet and circulation allowance.

Question 3

How should we split the wedding budget between the bride's and groom's sides?

Accepted Answer

There's no single rule — modern UK Gujarati weddings often split categories rather than 50/50 by side. The Budget tab lets you assign each category (venue, decor, attire, extras) to the bride's side, groom's side or the couple, and totals each side automatically.
