Every wedding needs proper preparations. These preparations have to be done well in advance. If you do it at the last moment then you would miss out many important things. Jain weddings are lavish and thus, there are many things that are needed to be bought. But make sure that you buy right things from the right places. Jains have the tradition to give gold and diamond jewelry to daughter. However, they are flexible. There is no rule as such in Jain matrimony in regards to the number of jewelry pieces to be given. This can be as per the financial status of the family.
Shopping for Jain weddings
In order to shop for Jain weddings, the first thing you should do is finalize as to what rituals and ceremonies would be held. If there are too many ceremonies then more dresses would be required by the bride and the groom. For the wedding day, the bride will have to wear a sari which might be all red or a combination of white and red. The groom has to wear anything that is traditional. He can wear kurta pajama or sherwani or dhoti kurta. Now, if there is sangeet ceremony too then the dresses should be bought accordingly. Make sure that every time you buy something, it should be unique. Also, in order to complement with the dresses, you should buy good jewelry and accessories.
Gifts for guests
In Jains gifting is an important thing. It is true that wedding is the time when the guests give the bride and the groom blessings as well as gifts. But most of the Jains do not take gifts these days. In fact, they give gifts to the guests specifically who have come from outstation. These gifts should be bought after knowing the likes and dislikes of the guests.
The gifts for bride and the groom
The bride’s family has to give a few gifts to the groom’s family and also to the groom. They should buy these things with care. This is because such gifts should look classy and should be useful to them. The groom’s family buys gifts for the bride and this would include jewelry, saris, and dresses. It is always good to take the bride along and get all the shopping done well in advance. Shopping is really something quite tricky. But if you take up things on time and also do thoughtful shopping then it would turn out to be productive.
In Jain matrimony, there are many other rituals like mandap mahurat, Mehendi, and such other things. Some families even keep puja a few days before the wedding. Now, according to the ritual and the ceremony the bride and the groom will have to take up shopping. It is always good to take a pair or two more because that will help at the end moment. In case, if you miss out on something, you always have an extra pair for help. The wedding is the time for celebration and extravaganza. All those who are part of it have fun and joy.
