didn't know what topic to put this under!
I am having an Indian wedding in India fully paid for by my in-laws which comes with strings attached that I am fine with (just have to do it their way). Without this there wouldn't really be a wedding.
(it's costing us about £8k including six return flights to India- were expected to come for shopping, engagement party, etc) we didn't really think about this and its really the max we can pay.
We didn't expect everyone to come but actually all my British friends are really excited to come and fully embrace the experience but an issue is clothing.
There are 34 British friends invited and we expect at least 21 will come. They see it as a once in a lifetime experience. Mix of men and women.
They will all be expected to wear Indian attire (As part of the strings attached).
Proper outfits can be into the hundreds of pounds and they will need multiple for different functions.
It is not affordable for us to pay for anyones outfits.
I have 6 bridesmaids- my sisters and best friends. I feel the need to buy them an outfit and I am looking for budget lehengas max £50 each including postage.
I know these aren't proper lehengas but it's what we can afford.
DP has 7 groomsman he's equally buying an outfit for.
I also need to direct them to websites where they can get them. I've already sent them to second hand places.
Where can we get budget outfits from that are good enough?
It's not an option to ask in-laws to contribute to these and we are contributing our max with our bridesmaids and groomsmen.
