Free kit on WhatsApp

Shaadi at home this season? Plan it without the chaos.

Walkthrough: the kit has three files. 1. Tick off the checklist one task at a time. 2. Follow the 6-month countdown to see what is due each month. 3. Ask every vendor the listed questions before paying an advance. 4. Type what you pay into the budget tracker and totals work themselves out. 5. Add guests and RSVPs and the headcount for each function adds up on its own.

Free. Sent straight to your WhatsApp. No signup or payment.

A free planning kit for the family running the wedding: a 63-point checklist, a 6-month timeline, the questions to ask every vendor, and ready-made budget and guest list sheets.

What's in the kit

Three files, five tools. Print them, forward them to the family group, or fill them in on your phone.

    The home wedding checklist

    63 things to decide, book, buy and confirm, grouped from the first decisions to the final week.

  • PDF

    The 6-month countdown

    What to do each month so caterers, outfits and invitations happen in the right order, not all in the last fortnight.

  • PDF

    Questions to ask every vendor

    30 questions for caterers, photographers, decorators, makeup artists and DJs. Ask them before you pay any advance.

  • Excel

    Budget tracker

    Estimated vs actual across 16 categories, with advances paid and balance due worked out for you.

  • Excel

    Guest list and RSVP tracker

    One row per household. The headcount for haldi, mehndi, sangeet, wedding and reception adds itself up as RSVPs come in.

Sound familiar?

Video: a family planning a wedding at home is confused. Everyone keeps their own list and asks who booked the caterer, how much budget is left, when the mehndi is and where the guest list is. Then the free kit arrives on WhatsApp and everyone is relieved.

A wedding at home has four planners and no plan. Papa has the budget in his head, Mummy has the caterer's number, Didi has the outfit list, and Bhaiya has the guest list somewhere on his phone.

The kit puts all of it in one place the whole family can see.

Made for whoever is doing the planning

Parents, siblings, the bride or groom, or the cousin who somehow ended up in charge. If there's a wedding at home in the next few months, this kit gives you one place to see what's done and what isn't.

Here's the first page of the checklist. Try it.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. There's no payment and nothing to buy to get the kit.

Why WhatsApp instead of email?

Because that's where your family already plans. The files land somewhere you'll actually find them again, and you can forward them to anyone in one tap.

Will you keep messaging me?

We'll send the kit and, now and then, a useful planning tip for the season. Reply STOP at any time and we won't message you again.

Do I need an app to open the files?

The PDF opens on any phone. The two sheets open in Excel, Google Sheets or WPS Office, all free on mobile.

Does it fit our kind of wedding?

The checklist follows a typical North Indian wedding with haldi, mehndi, sangeet and pheras. The budget, guest list, vendor and timeline tools work for any wedding at home. Skip what doesn't apply to you.

Who makes this?

The Wedding Blueprint is a free planning resource for Indian families hosting weddings at home.
