Family Roles & Responsibilities Guide
Who does what — so the whole family is aligned instead of overlapping.
A Punjabi wedding is run by the whole family, and that is its strength — until two aunts plan the same thing and one cousin's job falls through the cracks. This guide turns 'someone will handle it' into 'this person is handling it'.
It lays out the customary roles across both sides for each function — Maiyan, Choora, Jago, Anand Karaj, langar seva, the reception — and gives space to write in real names. It covers the practical seva of the day too: who carries what, who greets the baraat, who manages gifts and shagan, who is the calm point of contact each vendor can call.
The aim is not to be rigid. It is to make the load visible, so it can be shared fairly and the people doing the work are actually thanked.
