Please share the dates you’ll be visiting Chennai for our wedding celebration in your RSVP, and we’ll make the necessary accommodations 😊✨

Sangeet (Cocktail Party): Anything shiny goes! Indian attire (sherwani, lehenga), a tux, or even a nice shirt and trousers—it’s a glam but fun dance party 🍸✨ Mehndi: Casual Indian wear (e.g., a kurta with jeans or a salwar suit). Make sure you’re comfortable and okay with possibly getting henna stains on your clothes 🌿 Reception: Formal or Indian attire works 🖤 Wedding: Veshti for boys and saree for girls, but any traditional South Indian attire works 🕊️ No Indian attire? No worries—we’re happy to plan a shopping trip for you once you arrive in Chennai! 🛍️😄

Transportation will be arranged for all wedding and reception events 🚐✨ Uber is also available and recommended for any other travel plans 🚕😊
