According to data from a recent national poll on wedding spending, 53 per cent of Millennials prefer a small wedding with fewer than 100 people, followed by 31 per cent who want a medium-sized wedding with between 100 and 250 attendees, and only 16 percent who choose a large wedding with more than 250 guests. Although theme and destination weddings are popular, the poll found that over 76 per cent of respondents from Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities preferred a traditional wedding.

IndiaLends, an online marketplace for loans and credit cards, and Betterhalf, an AI-based matrimony website, together conducted the poll in 24 Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities throughout the nation. The post-pandemic wedding study included around 2100 participants in the 21-35 age range, 93 per cent of whom were salaried employees and 5 per cent were self-employed.
