However marriages are once in a life time event, but what about small events like birthday parties, house warming, job promotions, teams parties etc., we find it hard to find time for such events. Even if we decide to celebrate, most of our limited time is spent wasted on planning and execution, leaving us with significantly less or equivalent to no time to enjoy the special day. But the problem is we Indians love planning, and we want everything our way since events like marriage, birthdays, anniversaries, etc., are extremely personal.
