Ok I am now having a triple wedding!! My brother and sister are getting married on the same day as me as there is only a year between us and our rishteh are done quite close together… I know it sounds very paindoo but i dnt mind as it takes the burden off my parents a little.
Now i need some suggestions for how to work this.
The staging is really concerning me as i do not know how to do the placements of where to sit… How can i seat everybody so that it doesnt look funny. 3 brides and 3 grooms!! lol and then place chairs for family to sit and take pics! I dont even know how big the stage is… will everyone even fit? lol
Also there is the issue of the cake…
Should we have 3 seperate cakes or just one with each couple cutting a tier?
If I were in your situation, I would opt for 3 separate love seats that are different to each other but go well together...
And definitely 3 separate cakes with each couple taking turn to cut/feed the cake
Do you think? hmmmm i was thnking this too but then was thinking its going to be hectic on stage with different families taking pics with the three couples... i dnt want it to be mayhem!
hm.. i would have a stage with sitting arrangement for one couple. And I would have 3 sweetheart tables where the couples would spend most of their time. the couples could have certain times when they can sit on the stage and their families can take pictures with them. keep in mind i'm sure your fiance's parents would like to have a picture with just you two as well as the other couple's parents would want the same.
The cake should be seperate, but you should all cut it around the same time.
That sounds like a good idea... the only thing is the time constraint... I have such a big family! I dnt know if we will all be able to get through if we do it induvidually... ryt now having 3 seperate seatings on the stage looks like the best bet... i just hope there is enough space on the stage..
Im thinking of having three seperate cakes. 2 tiers each. and then having them connected somehow. Maybe the stand to have like three thing coming out. Each with a two tiered cake..
I'm glad to hear that you do ;)
Somethign I was supposed to do for my wedding but completely forgot (but will be doing for my sisters wedding) is calling out family names for pictures. It's honestly much more structured and gives you a better handle on time. Also this way, instead of every single family member trying to do 300 pictures with different people in them, you can do larger groups
Sooo for example: instead of some far-off relative taking a picture with you with their hubby and then later their parents, you can just call the entire family together.
It'll make it less hectic for you guys :)
And instead of your side of the guests coming up 3 separate times, you can do a big family picture with all 3 couples...
if a cake isn't a big deal, just do a big dessert table. it'll save you money and still be nice.
as for the stages, if your venue allows, make it cool and have 3 mini stages? maybe the idea is over the top, but it can work.
try to youtube the drama "mehndi"...where 4 or 5 sisters get married at the same time. i think that'll be great help for you to see how mehndi/shaadi stages are done. and a great drama btw! loll
I’m not sure about the staging, but have you considered more than one photographer? I’m sure each couple have different people they would want pictures with, and all that would be better managed by having more than one photographer, otherwise it could be a real chaos.
Shaza - I love your idea of calling groups onto the stage (not only for the reason you mentioned, but also because that way you’re unlikely to have unwanted people too).

This is an awesome idea. Never seen that happening but will definitely suggest that to be done at my brother's wedding. It's still at least a couple of years away I guess, but it's good to have this at the back of my head.

I don't know what it is, but I think this is such an awesome idea!! This day will be so sentimental for all you brother/sisters.
I can't really offer any other suggestions, but I think you guys should think of something super duper creative to do in terms of entrance or something else during the wedding. Maybe a dance with the three couples(if possible) because your wedding is gonna be so unique, make it stand out!
