The idea is simply going to rock. Just make sure that the judges for the event are neutral and that they don’t belong to any of the two families.

After all, everyone likes to be recognised and respected. So, let your wedding be the perfect platform for your invitees to earn that recognition or at least look like one. Get portrait photographs of your invitees clicked by your wedding photographer and his team, and edit those images on the cover page printouts of renowned world magazines like Forbes or Time. You can frame those images and send them to your invitees’ postal addresses by courier. This could also be a memorable return gift for them from you.

• Keep a Music request box

Let your wedding be the event that all your invitees can enjoy. Request them to participate in different activities.

They would really love it when their favourite songs were played live on stage by the artists. Make the event even more interesting by announcing a vintage Bollywood theme for the live music performance. 

• Arrange a carnival-like setup

Arrange a carnival-like set-up on the outdoor lawn. And apart from the regular mocktails carts or food stalls, set up counters for live nail art and mehndi, so that your guests can get themselves pampered.
