From getting gifts for the bride and groom, to running small errands- in and out of showrooms to pick stuff, it's all going to cost time and money. Add onto that, the costs of your own outfits, and jewellery- are you really willing to spend almost a lac on a wedding that's not even yours?

Before the madness begins, sit and think about how much your involvement is likely to cost you, along with how much you will truly be able to spend on the wedding.
