Wedding stocks to invest in, if you're bullish- Grapevine

Hi folks!
I'm planning to get married in over a year from now. I don't want to touch my portfolio for this and hence starting a wedding fund where I'd pause my investment for a year and route the money into this fund.
Suggest an instrument class where I should park this money. It'd be roughly 70k/ month.

Also would love to know how did you finance your wedding? Any tips?

Hi All,

If you have any particular stocks in mind which could go up after the election results. Please share. 

Note: I know that we should not blindly trust speculations but I have left trading stocks a long time ago. I know prices fluctuate very much after the elections, so just wanted to know the stocks which you are positive about.

29,M. I am planning to get married this year. My parents have not accumulated much money, plus i don't want to burden them with the expenses of my marriage, hence I will be sponsoring the marriage on my own. Same is the case for my partner, and we will split all expenses equally.

Now, here comes the twist, our parents wish to retain the "izzat" that they have in the society and want to do a big wedding. The budget that I have been told is minimum 20L. Tbh, I don't want to spend this much. I was looking for something ~ 5L.

People on grapevine, especially the members who married recently, what do you think is a decent budget for marriage. Additionally, could you help out in some money saving hacks.

Budget for marriage

Guys suggesting court marriage, please read the OPs question again. He isn't confused between court marriage or a grand wedding. He wants to understand what the budget should be.  
  
 Groom side expenses 
 Clothing: 70k 
 Jewellery gifted to girl: 2~3L 
 Return gifts (Usually sweets): 1L 
 Stay for guests (30rooms, 2 days): 1.5L 
  
 Bride side expenses  
 Clothing: 1.5L 
 Gifts to guy: 2L 
 Jewellery: 3L 
 Makeup: 30k 
 Return gifts: 1L 
 Stay( Same as groom): 1.5L 
  
 Common expenses 
 Photography (2 days): 3L 
 Venue + Food (2 days): 6~8L (Per plate ranges between 1k to 2.5k in tier cities) 
 Parents shopping: 4L (2L per side) 
  
 Total expense= ~30L for both sides. Now you can decide what to cut and what to spend on.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

INR 10-13 lakh spent per wedding in India. 
Average annual household income is INR 4 lakh. 
Assuming 2 households spending, it's 1.2-1.5x their annual income. 
Assuming only the girl's family paying, it's 3x annual income. 
It's absurd how much people love to spend to feed and entertain the people they never want to see in their lives again. 
Also absurd, no big startup in this space. Why is no tech bro/gal conquering the wedding space?

Hey guys,

How do you suggest investing ahead of LS election results, planning to invest around 50k.
I usually invest in mutual funds only for mid to long term, so open to suggestions for lump sum mutual funds investments as well. However, looks like there's a possibility of making a reasonably good short term gain, any stock suggestions?

I personally see it as game changer in how invest in FDs.

Any comments or thoughts or guidance would be highly appreciated.

Is Stable money a stable choice ?

Everything seems to indicate that this is the beginning of an extended bullrun till the elections. What is the game plan? Personally, I am all in. First time since 2020, that I have a net zero cash position.

We ready for another bullrun, my fellow Grapeviners? 🚀

Have a couple of lakhs to invest lump sump in some stock. What are your picks and rationale behind that?

PS: Have some MFs as well but don't want to go there right now. Need some good stock ideas for long term (hence no large caps). I prefer those who have decent business prospects but even more important is the price they're available at.

Stock ideas to invest?

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

What’s your budget impact on stock market ? Any stocks which could soar ?

As the title reads - I am looking to invest a small amount for a short term (1-1.5 year) and I don't want exceptional returns as my risk appetite is small. I am just looking for safe options that can protect & grow my monry enough to lighten the blow of inflation. I am planning to get married in the next 2 years and will need this money then. TIA

What do you advise for someone looking to make safe & short term investment?

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?
