One thing with Indian wedding is that brides always want to dive in straight away without actually making a perfect plan of the wedding.

Planning An Indian Wedding
If you plan well, everything will work in your favor. Here are some tips that will help you in planning your Indian wedding:
Decide your wedding day early in advance
The most crucial and most important aspect is deciding when your wedding day will be before you start the planning procedure. Consider things like the season you would prefer.
Consider your wedding budget
There different types of events in Indian weddings such as Haldi, Mehendi, sangeet, and cocktail, so plan all the events you want to organize.
You need to make a strict decision from the start to avoid going overboard with your finances this will really help you. Decide all your budget for every ceremony that will be held during your D-day. Prepare a guest list to each exclusive event as it will help you manage your budget properly while deciding on a venue.
Delegate the responsibilities to your family members and friends
Here you will be required to allocate even the lowliest tasks to friends and family members. You can write a task, for example, when you are taking photos after the wedding, that tells your sister, bridesmaid or maid of honor to bring your makeup bag to the photo location.
Some venues offer their coordinators but they usually don’t cover minor tasks that are not related to venue arrangements, so you can allocate a task like say if a box needs to be moved from one point to another someone should be responsible for moving that box.
Allocate someone to be a point person
One could be on the bride’s side and one on the groom’s side.
Most Indians will always ask questions like where the events are, the start of the events and how they should get to the events even if their family members and friends have all the information, so it is important to make your guests feel like they have all the information they need.
So, your point person will address all the issues that might come up. Assign someone among your friends or family members to take care of the gifts received during the wedding, remember to inform him/her about the same in advance.
Put all the uncontrollable issues that might arise in mind
Although you can’t control what is out of your control it is good to have a backup a friend once experienced frustration during their wedding since the electricity went off during the cocktail hour.
There was no AC and nobody knew what to do. So, everything went into a standstill., so put measures in hand to counter such issues.
