Don't have a particular number, but my conservative middle-class mind says something less than 5k would be nice. If it's something different and we don't do it regularly then I can increase my budget depending on the event. 
 If still less I would be the happiest..  
 Because I have to anyways spend on cake and dress(Which are non-negotiable 😉)

Couple massage and a great 5 star dine and wine at a Michelin star chef's restaurant Like SAGA.  
 For gifts, Caratlane has variants in 14 carats, a bit cheaper so chain + pendant or a luxury perfume/analog watch

Nice idea. Couples massage is good idea. Never thought of it till now. Will definitely try it. 
 Your idea is an excellent one. Starts and ends on a great note😉. 
 Thanks for the suggestion 👍

Coming 27th will be wife's birthday. Already missed her 1st birthday post marriage(For some unforeseen reason)😑 and still have to hear it from her, from time to time 🤦, because she had planned an excellent one for my birthday. So wanted to surprise her this time and looking for some creative ideas. 

And also, what gift can I get her? Wanted to purchase gold pendent and earring but gold price has shot up 🤦😕.

Gift ideas for fiancee’s birthday

Hi Viners, today I am here for a not so professional ask.

So my husband's birthday is coming in a month and I am already freaking out about what to gift him. It's been 3 years since we have been married, dated for 5 years before that.

I have already given him materialistic things like clothes, accessories, etc. etc. But at this point, I believe that we have surpassed that phase.

To all the male viewers, pls start shooting your ideas below. Also, he is 30+, just so you know😅

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

TLDR;
I want help in financial planning for my marriage. I have 3 questions which are written at the end of this post.

Hi everyone,

I sat with my parents to prepare most basic itinerary for 4 functions of marriage, which also includes upgrading the kitchen, bedroom etc. The total amount for that is 21 lacks. 

Along with this the bride will also be fully taking care of 3 functions. (2 only for themselves, 1 where people from both sides will come) 
Since we are not in conversation with any potential family, so I CAN ASSUME that they will do it one their own. 

When we sister got married we gave dowry but we don't wanna have any gifts in any form. (strictly) 

So, I am in my mid 20s and earning monthly in the range of 90K. 

Current Expenses:
 1. Car loan of around which has EMI of 23K and it has 30 EMIs pending.
2. 40K contribution to household
3. No rental charges since it is wfh

Rest of the 25K I save/invest. 

Current savings - around 2 lacks which are liquid.


My questions -

1. If I plan to marry in next 2 years. Then what should be my approach?
I am looking to change company for better salary. Anything apart from this I should do?

2. There is no quick money technique nor I want to fall for that. So, what would "you" have done if you would have been at my place?

3. We do have a bungalow which has evaluation of 60 lacks. I don't want us to sell it. I may have to build few rooms on the first floor to start with rental income. What do you suggest wrt this?

Marriage financial planning
