Giving return gifts to guests at Indian weddings is a long-standing tradition. Typically, people give boxes of sweets, small decorative items, or household goods. However, over time, these gifts are either used up or get lost somewhere in a cupboard. With changing times, people now want to give something that will be remembered for a long time and has an emotional connection.

Why a return gift connected to memories is special

If a wedding photograph is given as a return gift, it becomes not just a gift, but a lasting memory. A photo taken with the bride and groom on the wedding stage is special for every guest. When that same photo is given to them in a beautiful frame within minutes, the experience stays with them for a lifetime. This gift adorns the wall of their home and reminds them of that wedding every time they see it.

How this unique business idea works

In this idea, a small system is set up at the wedding venue. As soon as guests get their photos taken on the stage, the photos are transferred directly from the camera to a laptop. The photos are then printed instantly using a printer and placed in pre-prepared frames before being handed to the guests. Professional photographers can do this themselves, or an entrepreneur can tie up with photographers and run this service separately.

Emotional connection is the biggest strength of this idea

This return gift is not a commercially bought item, but an emotional memory. When every family that attended the wedding sees that photo at home, it brings back memories of the bride and groom and that special day. This is why it becomes far more valuable than ordinary gifts and also creates a unique identity for the family hosting the wedding.

A profitable business that can be started with low investment

Starting this business does not require a huge investment. A laptop, a good photo printer, and a sufficient number of photo frames are the basic requirements. If the frames are purchased in bulk, each frame costs approximately 50 rupees, and a color photo print costs around 10 rupees. Thus, the total cost of preparing one framed photo is approximately 60 to 70 rupees.

The complete calculation of earnings and profit

For this service, you can charge approximately 150 rupees per frame. If a wedding involves 100 families, the total bill would be around 15,000 rupees. After deducting expenses, a profit of up to 7,000 rupees is possible in a single day. If you get an average of 10 weddings per month, you can earn approximately 70,000 rupees. This figure can increase even further during the wedding season by hiring additional staff to handle multiple events simultaneously.
