About this tool
Build a wedding trip packing list from the events you are attending, with outfit weights checked against your baggage allowance.
This builder sizes a wedding trip by events rather than by days: one outfit per function, plus a casual set for every two days of downtime and one travel outfit. Footwear is chosen per dress-code tier instead of per event, so six functions still need at most four pairs. It then adds up the outfit weights — heavy ethnic wear runs about 2.2 kg for a ceremony outfit and 1.8 kg for a reception one — and checks the total against a 15 kg domestic or 23 kg international checked allowance.

Outfits track functions, because functions are what get photographed.
One formal pair, one dancing pair, one daytime pair — not one pair per event.
Shows the overage in kilograms and measures the wear-it-on-the-plane workaround.
One per function, since events are photographed and outfits do not repeat, plus roughly one casual set per two days of downtime and one travel outfit. A four-function Indian wedding over four days therefore comes to about seven outfits in total.
Plan on around 2 kg for a heavy bridal-party ceremony outfit with its dupatta and lining, about 1.8 kg for a reception outfit, and nearer 800 g for a cotton saree or kurta set. Two or three heavy outfits alone can take a third of a 15 kg domestic allowance.
Use a garment bag once you are carrying two or more formal outfits, layer tissue paper between folds so zari and sequins do not snag the fabric beneath, and pack a travel steamer or wrinkle-release spray — hotel irons are shared and rarely free an hour before a function.
Usually three or four: one formal pair for the ceremony and reception, one flat or block-heel pair you can dance in, one dressy daytime pair for mehendi or haldi, and one comfortable everyday pair. Shoes are the heaviest avoidable item, so adding a pair per event is where allowances get blown.
