Weighed Down By Loans

Agreed that marriage is an expensive affair and you want everything to be just perfect. However, do not take such a huge loan that you end up taking half of your lifetime to repay it. After all, there is that house loan, car loan, children educations loan and their marriage loan to think about as well.

Another thing you may want to avoid is making your wedding over the top fancy. It's fine if you can afford it, but if you practically cannot then cut down on the unnecessary cost.

Joel Patrick, TJ Wedding Planners says, "You do not have to a wedding in a seven star hotel for it to be elegant and presentable you can have it with a smaller budget as well."

According to him there are certain areas where cost can be cut down, like hiring a DJ or playing recorded music would cost you a lot lesser than hiring a live band.

Another thing that people tend to do is spend a lot while putting up their guest. They are entitled to comfort but you can give it to them in Rs.1000 a room instead of Rs.8000 as well.

Overdoing the Face

While you want to look beautiful for your wedding do not forget that going overboard with the make up, facials and skin treatment can result in a skin breakout.

Prathibha Narayan, working for a Software Company says, "I wanted to look the best for my wedding. Not only did I go to a dermatologist for my mild acne, but I also went to the parlour to get my facial done. What happened by the end of it is that beautician accidentally bleached on the area of treatment and I had this huge bunt scar on my face. That scar lasted long after my wedding as well."

Make sure you do not go for many treatments at once. You don't want to land up with an ugly skin rash during your honeymoon!

Saree Spree

Another place you might want to be careful is going on a complete shopping spree with sarees that you would not ever wear again. Also imagine the load you would be carrying to your in-law's place.

Dr. Priya Rajesh, Ophthalmologist says, "I knew that it would not make sense to buy too many elaborate kanjeeveram sarees as I would not wear them again.  So what I did instead is buy only two of them and the rest of the sarees that I brought were the ones that I could wear on a daily basis."
