If it’s a destination wedding in India – pick a hill-station in August- February or a beach in May-October. You could always go for off-season weddings – to save cost on venues and vendors. What’s more? Your “save the date” won’t go waste- because your guests won’t have to juggle between weddings to attend and functions to miss!
