My Dulhan Diaries
Dear Dulhans (Brides), Welcome! I'm new to blogging so please excuse my amateur entries. I'm a grad student, and I've been engaged for some time now, and I've finally set a wedding date! I've been browsing online for ideas, reading other wedding blogs, finding inspiration and information about South Asian weddings, particularly Gujarati Weddings. I've created this blog as a space for me to share my ideas, research, and inspiration, and hopefully, get some contribution/input from all of you! Join me on my journey to the mandap!

Although Bridesmaids are not traditionally in South Asian weddings, they are now playing an important part of the pre-wedding preparations and wedding ceremony. We can never thank them enough for tending to our needs and making us feel like ranis (queens) on our special day! Whether they’re slaving over our DIY wedding favor projects and invitations or helping us with different aspects of our wedding planning, these bridesmaids will always ensure that our special day is perfect. After all, most bridesmaids are either family or close friends so it’s important to appreciate them. Whether you have 1 bridesmaid or more, you can choose to create a gift bag of goodies or buy items separately depending on your budget. Here are a few budget-friendly items in this ‘not-so-friendly’ economy. Take a look!
Personalized Memory Stick Keychain - $25.00
VS Dream Angels Heavenly Gift Set - $7.99 (Clearance!)
Perfume Rings at Sephora - $42 (a little more expensive)
Indian designer clutch - this would probably cost you about $10 USD in India/Pakistan
Incense Candle Kit - $3.75 (Sale price)
Godiva Chocolate Favors - $7.75
