Re: Jaheiz Furniture
i m not getting anything from inlaws…
they were gonna make clothes for me but my fiance was like nooo she will get stuff from online and I will give her money for it.. turns out he thinks they only have to give me 1 outfit for shaadi and thts all. idk how to say anything because I dont want to be greedy.
I think a lot of girls are forgetting about bari. Most girls get A LOT! Aside from the valima jora/set/accessories, there are several heavy suits, matching shoes and accessories with almost every suit, more jewelery, make up, etc. And there’s also haq mehr. I don’t know of anyone that has said: please, don’t give us anything for bari, or set the minimal haq mehr only.
I certainly don’t mean to suggest that the guys side should EXPECT jahayz, but most girls parents do it anyway, usually clothes and jewels. You usually only wear each dress once, so wouldn’t it be better to give useful things like furniture or to help set the couple up?
To the original poster, I don’t think a lot of us get furniture and accessories in our jahayz. The trend here (States/Canada) is for the girl to move in with in-laws, who already have everything set up, or for the couple to move out on their own and take care of everything themselves.
Most of the boutique shops with really great furniture don’t have sites, but here’s a few sites you can check out for a contemporary look.
