Destination weddings are becoming increasingly popular for couples looking to tie the knot in a unique and memorable way. From the majestic palaces of Rajasthan to the serene beaches of Goa, there are a plethora of options to consider in India. However, planning a destination wedding in India can be a daunting and expensive task. From choosing the perfect venue to arranging for accommodations and transportation, the costs can add up quickly. This is where an instant personal loan like FIRSTmoney can come to the rescue.



The cost of destination weddings in India
 

The average cost of a destination wedding in India can range from anywhere between 10 lakhs to 60 lakhs, depending on the location and number of guests. This includes the venue, catering, decor, travel and accommodation expenses, and other miscellaneous costs. Another important factor is the level of luxury people aspire to. For most Indian families, weddings symbolize social status. So its common for families to spare no expense when it comes to keeping their wedding guests happy and entertained.

Spending a large chunk of your savings on a wedding might not be the best financial decision.

Convenience
 

One of the biggest benefits of opting for an instant personal loan for a destination wedding is the convenience and ease of access.

With options ranging from 2 to 60 months, you can select a repayment plan that fits your budget and financial goals. This can help ease any financial burden and allow you to enjoy your special day without worrying about the cost.

Another advantage of opting for an instant personal loan is the competitive interest rates. With the increasing popularity of destination weddings, many financial institutions including IDFC FIRST Bank now offer loans specifically designed for this purpose. These loans often come with lower interest rates compared to other types of loans, making them a more affordable option for financing your wedding.

FIRSTmoney: What makes this instant personal loan Smart?
 

FIRSTmoney by IDFC FIRST Bank is more than an instant personal loan — it’s a smart financial solution for those who are smart with money. Here’s why it makes perfect sense for those looking to finance their dream wedding:

  • Instant credit

With FIRSTmoney, you instantly receive the approved amount straight to your bank account. The application process is quick and entirely digital, that can be easily completed with your smartphone. Once approved and set up, you can keep withdrawing instant loans in 2 clicks.

  • Borrow as and when needed

  • Pay interest only on the utilized amount
