When the gathering gets smaller and its just your close family gathered around for your feras, keep warm black gloves handy on each seat around the fera for everyone to slip into. Freezing fingers no more!

While your waiters do the rounds serving food, keep a little section on their tray for distributing vaseline/ chapstick. Because no one likes cracked lips- specially at weddings. Besides, this would be a great wedding favour for your girls on your mehendi as well. Scented chapstick in the winters. Yes please.
