Hi Dimers Family,
After all the ups and downs, my marriage is getting fixed with the girl I was dating for 1 year.
Now there are lots of difficulties coming for marriage. This is a kind of intercaste marriage. Both belong from the Bania caste, but not the same subcaste. So her family is not that happy. We both are middle class families.
I am not earning that much that I can have a grand marriage, so I want a budget marriage. You guys are experienced so kindly share your views to save money in marriage ceremonies.
The number of guests might be 150-200. Planning to get married in November. Also my gf is saying that she wants to go foreign for the honeymoon, which country is the best for budget trip. I have never been to any foreign country before.
So how to plan in such a way that I can have a budget marriage, catering and also a foreign trip.
Kindly share your ideas.

In November, Nepal can be a wonderfully romantic destination for a honeymoon, especially if you're on a tight budget. Pokhara, in particular, is a very romantic place. However, if you're looking for a more typical foreign honeymoon experience on a budget, Thailand is your best bet.
By the way, congratulations on your upcoming marriage! I'm really happy to see that you're doing well despite your father's untimely demise. As a piece of unpopular advice, I would suggest that you not rush into the decision of getting married. Marriage is a lifelong commitment that you're responsible for establishing and maintaining. It's better to be alone than to spend your life with the wrong person and regret it later. However, if you believe that the person you're marrying is the perfect match for you and your families, then go ahead and ignore my words.
Remember, everyone has a tendency to become the hero of their own life, just like in typical Bollywood movies.

Congratulations 🎊🎊🎊🎊
Replace gf with fiance now 
.
U can book halwai on labour rates and get the raw material urself also keep an eye on it, this way u will save hell lot on catering.
Book garden/lawn over banquet this will also save money on decoration and rent and u will have full control on all aspects.
For clothing, delhi is best place for it, or u can get stuff on rent to again save on one time wearing dresses .
For honeymoon - u can visit nearby countries or can increase budget which u saved from other aspects and can visit other countries which are unaffordable due to budget constraints.
Andaman u can go(not another country but gives u feel),avoid Pakistan 
, nepal, bali, malaysia, Thailand, russia🥲.

first of all congrats , have a peaceful life ahead . Cant help in marriage suggestion , but for Honeymoon can suggest Thailand ,Veitnam based on my personal experience (not honeymoon just travelling) and budget you have suggested
Thailand - Much more than beach and pubs ,friendly people, good tourist destination and budget friendly also ,Visa on Arrival
Veitnam - Same as Thailand ,a little more budget than Thailand but still very budget friendly
Some people may suggest below destination and I am gonna provide their cons
Indonesia - Cons - Beach thats all , comparatively lesser tourist destination , inter state travel is difficult
Malaysia- Good tourist spots but have to travel alot for that although have good public transport, may not fit in budget
Singapore - Not budget friendly simple as that

Rs. 3-5 lakh for marriage only. Rs.1 Lakh for a foreign Trip.
For 200 guest you will end up spending 1.5L just on food for a day. Any decent hall/stage setup will cost 30-40K a day plus decorations worth 20K ..sound system/chairs etc eats another 20K or so. ..
1st I suggest you to fix on number of guest and how many days you want to celebrate.. check community halls/Dharmshala etc and try to book those asap.. next step search for catering. Rates per plate are way high this days .

OP, congrats on your marriage and dealing with what you did. Many fail to do so and lose hope and break up eventually so thumbs up for that. Hoping that you will get a good deal on your whole event for your marriage this November. And good to hear that you thought of yourself and rising from the past which happened in your life. @kool
Google through all Asian countries and eliminate all options one by one (Check for Visa on arrival / visa free options too) then head to any AI website which can draft you a dream itinerary (alter your requirements from suggestions you get from our dimers as well) then book your tickets and flyyy.....
Again reiterating, good to see people using DD as one stop solutions for all issues - Jobanputra bros 
but UI still needs enchancements.

@kool Congratulations on your upcoming marriage! It's great to hear that you and your girlfriend have decided to take this step together. I'm happy to share some ideas with you.
Firstly, you can try to cut down on some of the unnecessary expenses. For example, instead of having a grand wedding venue, you could consider having the wedding at a community hall or even at home. You could also save on decorations by using simple, elegant designs rather than elaborate ones.
When it comes to catering, you could try to negotiate with caterers to get the best possible price. You can also consider having a potluck-style reception, where guests bring their own dishes to share.
As for your honeymoon, there are many budget-friendly destinations that you can consider. Some popular options include Thailand, Bali, and Vietnam. You can also look into travel packages or deals to save money on flights and accommodations.
Lastly, it's important to prioritize what's most important to you both as a couple. Remember that the wedding day is just one day, and what really matters is the love and commitment you share with each other. So, focus on creating special memories and celebrating your love in a meaningful way.
I hope these ideas help! Best of luck with your wedding planning and have a wonderful honeymoon!
