Yah, you can go the traditional route with chuware, badaam, misri. I've also seen ones with chocolates (even some with chocolates specifically with the bride and groom's names/initials).

Traditional ones, choharay, badam, misri, phulian, Paan masala etc.

Nothing better than a dose of good ol' Meetha Paan on top of Shahi Supari. Both are essential for the atoms inside human body and molecules of nutritional health.

A perfect wedding in the making.

May be u can add little mithayee with glittery packaging.. since everything is so traditional, chocolate doesn't really go with it. But yeah, kiddos will be happy :D

^So it was you, and both the bride and groom's sides were blaming each other.

Re: Sweet packets for nikkah ceremnoy

I absolutely love the custom of giving out decorated chuwarey packets on the Nikkah day. For me that's the highlight of the wedding day beside ofcourse bride's grand entrance :D

Fayz,

The story behind chuware, apparently, is this.....

After consuming the chuware, the pits were used to target members of the opposing bridal party or members of the opposite sex.

Light-hearted fun.

Re: Sweet packets for nikkah ceremnoy

ppl add candy and chocolates too. btw the bidd comes from the grooms family so u need not worry about it. Or actually maybe you do :eek:

Re: Sweet packets for nikkah ceremnoy

I heard if you eat those chuwarre you get married. I have been eating them for years and it still didnt work :rolleyes:

But I like more of the newer stuff, like passing out godiva favours :k:

I know someone who did it all white(ribbon and box) and it looked really nice. People have had lil picture frames, candles, or even lil dolis with candies in it. I think taht was my fav.

How much money are you willing to spend?

Re: Sweet packets for nikkah ceremnoy

Something like this is $1.40 which is very cheap! Considering all you have to do is place it on the tables.
