Suggested menu: - Welcome drink. - Two starters. - Two main-course dishes. - Rice or pulao. - Roti or naan. - Dessert. - Birthday cake. The ₹500 per-person allowance is a planning target, not a caterer's confirmed price. Confirm whether taxes, serving staff, water and delivery are included. ### Where to save money - Choose a community hall instead of a premium banquet venue. - Use artificial flowers for most decorations. - Send digital invitations. - Choose a simple buffet rather than an elaborate multi-course menu. - Use a friend or family member for casual photography if professional coverage is too expensive. Optional upgrades such as a live band, elaborate floral installations, premium return gifts, and cinematic videography should be avoided unless another expense is reduced. ## 4.
