How GI.EVENTS can help with Sweets & Mithai
Sweets carry a wedding's blessings from one family to another. Each region and each ceremony has its own: khaja and gaja in the bride's bhar, laddoos for shagun and tilak, petha, ghewar, Mysore pak or sandesh, and boxes of mithai for guests at the vidaai. GI.EVENTS helps you describe the ceremonies, the quantities and the sweets your family follows, then request options from mithai makers and halwais. Recipes, quantities, packing, delivery and prices are confirmed directly with each maker.
- Listing the sweets each ceremony needs, in your family's tradition
- Working out quantities for trays, baskets and guest boxes
- Planning shagun, tilak and vidaai trays with their packing
- Timing fresh sweets so they reach the venue at their best
- Keeping sugar-free, Jain or other dietary choices in mind
What to share in your brief
- Ceremonies, dates and where the sweets are needed

Questions to ask before you book
- What is your FSSAI registration or licence number?
- Which ritual sweets do you make, and can we taste them before ordering?
- How many days ahead do you make each sweet, and how long does it keep?
- Who packs the trays and guest boxes, and can we see a sample?
- Who delivers to the venue, and at what time on the day?
Rules worth knowing
- Food businesses in India, including sweet makers, register or are licensed with FSSAI under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. Ask for the registration or licence number on the order. Source: FSSAI Food Safety Compliance System (FoSCoS)
- Since 1 July 2022, identified single-use plastic items are banned in India, including wrapping or packing films around sweet boxes. Ask your maker how the boxes are packed instead. Source: Central Pollution Control Board: single-use plastic ban press release (17 June 2022)
Rules change and differ by state and venue, so check the current position for your date and place. This is general information, not legal advice.

Common questions
How early should we order wedding sweets?
Many families order a few weeks ahead for large quantities, and fresh sweets are made a day or two before they are needed. Ask the maker how far ahead to confirm, and which sweets keep well for travel.
Can the same maker pack the shagun trays and guest boxes?
Many mithai makers pack trays and boxes themselves, while others work with gift packers. Mention the packing you want in your brief and confirm it, with a sample, before the order.
Can GI.EVENTS help find mithai makers and halwais for an event in my city?
On request, yes. GI.EVENTS facilitates events throughout India and can help you request a shortlist of mithai makers and halwais for your city, subject to verification of local capacity. The site does not list sweets & mithai for every city, and availability, scope and prices are confirmed directly before anything is booked.
