Canadian culture of invitation cards is wonderful. Everything is sorted before the function.. no fuss no cuss.. In our Indian weddings, the functions are more about pleasing our relatives rather than the special day of bridge and groom which should now change.. 😊😊
These customs truly ensure that a) there is no wastage and b) People that really are close to you and want to be part of your special day will come they won't even mind paying to be part of the red-letter-day. Its so beautiful! Best wishes on your special day both of you
We should feel proud that in Bharat we adopt अतिथी देवो भव concept and we write specifically "Gifts in the form of blessings only" and still close people don't come empty handed. Relatives are not beggars to come without invitation only for food. Ecards are now adopted in Bharat too except for temple and close relatives. Some good things can be adopted like getting confirmation from guests to avoid wastage of food.
If the alcohol restriction gets applied in Indian wedding ceremony then the famous dance performance which is the snake dance will surely get effected! 😂😂 No snake no snake charmers!! 🐍🐍😂😂

Function in Canada should be as per Sandra's customs... no wastage and pay per use, Functions in India should be as per Indian customs... Khawaanu Peewaanu ... Majaa ni Life !!
It was so sweet when she said to print a card for grand parents. And the Canadian culture also is nice. I loved the part where gusta confirms they are coming which makes it better for the family to prepare, neither shortage nor wastage of food as mummy jee said. Loads of blessings from the bottom of my heart. I understand it well as my husband and I are from different countries and it went like this understanding each others culture.
WE’RE GETTING MARRIED IN 7 DAYS. It’s so interesting to see the differences just from American to Canadian traditions! Can’t wait to see your wedding 😊♥️🙏🏻
@Harjot sethi Sikh weddings are held in morning Usually. I did not mention religion but only a region and a City.check the video it is said in Indian wedding there is unlimited alcohol
@@TheManochas Basically in Marriage, in most parts of Bharat, alcohol is not consumed. Often in Pre-wedding parties or in Receptions alcohol is consumed depending on each family, irrespective of state.
In Indian weddings after all head counts 20-30% extra food is prepared and ultimately 'wasted'.I really appreciate the ways things are done there in the French Canadian circle.Kudos to your clan Sandra 👏👏

Paying for the wedding and telling beforehand how many will attend is an excellent way to avoid wastage of food...also makes the guessing game (as Mohit explained) avoidable

In India Is Common Case that extra Food is left but its never wasted before planning we always Plan where to Distribute the food After the wedding. In my Cousins wedding we drove 40km To A Village and Served the food there 😅
In India the culture differs from one region to other. Now we completely different countries, so it's obvious we have a lot of different cultures. It really interesting and fun knowing so many new things from Sandra
In India, Mumbai Christian wedding invitation cards also have a note saying "no box gifts and no bouquet" this is to avoid getting gifts which don't pertain to their preferences. Also they mention "RSVP" and contact details on the card to keep a note of the number of guest expected from that family (to save on food wastage). This is a recent trend which is not followed by many.
In love with the canadian culture after seeing their traditions. Putting in per person amount in the card would give financial relief to the people getting married. Sending e-card is more sustainable also they are sent way in advance and people send out confirmation of guests coming along would lead to more planned function and less wastage. And the best part was limited drinking. Keeps em under check all time. It all makes soo much sense
Getting confirmation on coming to function with number of people of coming along with is very good as mummyji said, it would avoid wastage of all sorts.

Super Excited to see you guys getting engaged :) Really like the Idea how Sandra's family manage & make arrangements in the wedding, specially minimizing food wastage. Just a Thought: One thing which we Indian's cannot implement is to ask our guests to pay some sort of amount per head count, because in India we have families with different Financial status.
@@AnantaSharmaa yes its like we shouldn't expect something from somone in gift , its individuals choice rather then that they should just write in their invitation card ur presence is our gift
I agree. Sending your invite by post/email and rsvp is fine. Beyond that it's not. You have to be gracious to your guests. Asking them to pay is like being out of mind.
I think the Canadian way is much better..there is no burden on brides family, there is no wastage of food and I think if this we impose on Indian people only close ones will come and as aunty g said they will be sober too😉
You should adopt their system of prior intimation of attendees but collecting charges from them never ever acceptable considering our Indian traditions.
MOHIT - we both brothers will give grandchildren to mumyji at almost about same time so the grow together MEANWHILE SUNNY - bhai ye kab decide hua? 😂😂🤦♂️
I am sure at least some editing is done by Sandra cuz when there is was text written about expecting some gift from guest there was written "commun" instead of common. Sandra you have learnt a lot about editing so shortly.
Thanks for sharing French Canadian concept of invitation which is pretty realistic in today's world when lot of people donot have proper one time meal as lot of food is wasted in our type wedding's & parties. It's the culture world needs to follow.👍👍

You have yourself stated the reason, my friend. Only friends and family that are truly close to you and want to be part of your special day will confirm and attend
Actually one of the reason in Konkan there is less poverty because their is no concept of Gav Jevan in wedding. So all these wedding expenses end up in debt trap.

About alcohol I think you should follow the Canadian culture same can be mentioned in the printed card as well. This is something good to be followed in indian wedding ceremony as well.
In Singapore we follow a similar culture. A newly wed couple usually don’t have a established household and to make their initial days or their new life comfortable people bless them with money and pay for their own food and drinks, I feel this lifts the burden off of the newly weds and at the same time gives them some monetary support to start their new life.
Every culture is good in it’s own way but I will surely go with the french Canadians culture as it avoids wastage of food avoids uninvited guests also paying for wedding confirms only interested people are coming not the ones who just come for free meals.
In my case I had to take loans to finance both my daughters wedding. It took me ten years to clear. That is why at the age of 68 I am still working. I have just cleared my debts. My son did help me along the way. My old age will be pretty spartan. I will have to give some tuition or maybe baby sit to get some money. This is what custom based weddings can do. Nowdays couples can't afford more than 2 children. This is in Malaysia.
Sweet ... Discussion .. video ... Lovely ... With the culture and rituals one has to understand the basic intention of the same which will help appreciate the same ... and about one of the culture talked about guest paying, it is quite logical and have seen something very similar in Singapore too... So, best of luck and god bless you, Sandra and your family.
I loved the way Sandra explained the entire french-canadian culture and traditions.......as per me that's great, practical and NextGen Indians also understand and should follow this 👌👌👍👍🙂🙂
Sandra photo No.2 is THE best photo... it has a very warm feelings between you two...... But the template below with the 25 watermark 25 is a bit too common, looks more like a calender or 25 years celebration of some kind... Maybe you can work more on that..... Au revoir et bonne chance à vous deux :)

Mohit bhai I like what sandra bhabhi tells about french canadian engagement and wedding traditions and procedures. That's the honest and clear things use to do by the host and the guest..
I guess going with Canadian culture for the engagement will be the right way to go since most of the guests will be from Sandra's side, so will be great to see this!!!
If you are planning your engagement ceremony on the french side then you should definitely go by the frnch invitation and aunty ji also suggested that there will be less wastage of food and alcohol, you should definitely go by the french side.
I love the bromance 😆 between big brother and you and I don't know I am the only one who is excited for the future sibling growing together vlogs ❤️ I think I went too far 🤣
Nowadays because of lockdowns indian culture is changing too so I think in near future we are gonna follow that same process but best part of indian culture is doorstep card delivery and becoz of that our mind get blown away when we get to know that I have so many relatives that I never knew and it is a chance to atleast have a get together with them once in a lifetime
What Sandra told its there every where in foreign countries…when we were in Japan we also told we are paying 50000 Japan yen ….and now a days in India also rsvp is very common…there may be not parents paying all the bill …bride and groom only making all expenditures….that’s why this…I am feeling very very very thoughtful this…you all know in India poor girl dad is always in stress before marriage..and that’s why sometimes they kill too 😟😟😟😟 sorry loooonnnngggg post …but I am enjoying 😘😘😘

In punjab we do not formally write such thing but we do have a ritual called ਨਿਉਂਦਾ whuch is different than shagun and it is prefixed amount and some addition to previously contributed by man in other weddings..so chill
Just to let u know guys guests in Indian wedding are guessed and in Canadian wedding guests give numbers, but in Kashmiri style wedding we give cards to guest with number written on it, how many people are invited.. and most interesting is we mention separately how many men and women are in invited... 👍
Mohit Bhai, i think you should do a fusion while inviting because sandra's side of inviting can offend some of your indian friends/family memers who are coming to enjoy in your parties. so i think you should think about it.
Do invitations by the Indian way because there is the best way to give respect and indian culture things You all know about I think you get it Because that's the Indian way of the culture of hospitality and the respect I hope you like my opinion.
Similarly the Indian system of functions may be unheard of by many Canadians. So what is your point! Learn to cherish everyone's customs and celebrate diversity.
Rightly said Sham, We should feel proud that in Bharat we adopt अतिथी देवो भव concept and we write specifically "Gifts in the form of blessings only" and still close people don't come empty handed. Relatives are not beggars to come without invitation only for food. Ecards are now adopted in Bharat too except for temple and close relatives. Some good things can be adopted like getting confirmation from guests to avoid wastage of food. I am not against French Canadian customs but many people in the comments are blindly undermining our Bhartiya Culture. In reality we have rich culture and family bonding compared to western countries.
Go for combination..RSVP for number confirmation to avoid wastage and rest Indian style. On the house. Best of both worlds. In india too now a days invitations read Mr & Mrs. Or Mr and family or Aap shree if only one is invited. And yes cash and gifts are always there. More of a token but nonetheless. Wish you both happiness always.
