The wedding season, for the people who supply it
Return gifts by the hundred, jewellery and outfits one at a time, favours, décor and the gifts for the couple. The longest selling season of the year, and how a small online store takes its share — honestly, in writing, with the money in your own account.

Why sell the wedding season on SitesPlaced?
- ✓It is free, with 0% commission. Unlimited products and orders — a 200-piece order costs you nothing extra.
- ✓Bulk orders are written down. A product for the set, personalisation fields for names and the message, WhatsApp for the talk, UPI for the advance — nothing lives only in a chat.
- ✓Money goes straight to you. UPI, cards and net banking through your own Razorpay, PhonePe or Cashfree account, plus cash on delivery.
- ✓Trust, when a stranger is ordering in bulk. Your own domain and the badge gone on Starter; product reviews with Google stars on Growth.
- ✓It keeps up on the phone. On every paid plan your store pages answer about 4× faster — most of this traffic arrives from Instagram and WhatsApp on phones.
- ✓No autopay unless you want it. In India, pay once — ₹199 for 30 days of Starter, ₹499 for 30 days of Growth — and nothing renews by itself.
Your wedding-season plan
October–November: decide what you sell, and in what quantities
Return gifts and favours move in 50s and 200s; jewellery and outfits move one at a time. Pick one or two lines, work out the price per piece with packaging included, and decide the smallest order you will take.
Put the store up with a product for the set
Open a free store. For bulk lines, add a product for the whole set — “Return gifts, box of 50” — with personalisation fields for names and the message. For jewellery and outfits, photos on a person and a clear size or measurement note.
Take the conversation on WhatsApp, the order on the store
Families want to talk before a 200-piece order. Answer on WhatsApp, then send them to the product to order, so the quantity, the names and the address are written down. Take an advance by UPI and put the delivery date in writing.
Promise dates you can keep
Weddings do not move. Add two weeks to any supplier's promise, say so in the product description, and put the last date for custom orders in the announcement bar.
Offer sets, not discounts
Family bundles, “complete the look” sets and free delivery above an order value lift the order without cutting the price. “Buy 2 Get 1” and cart upsells come with Growth.
After each wedding: ask for the review and the next one
A happy family is your next five orders. Ask for a review and a photo, and give them a coupon for the next function — there is always another one.
The tools in your store
Everything below is built into a SitesPlaced store. The plan each one needs is in its title.
Per-product personalisation · Free
A text field for names and the message, a photo upload, and paid extras such as a card or gift wrap — set on the products that need them. The details arrive with the order.
WhatsApp checkout and your number on every page · Free
Bulk buyers want to talk first. WhatsApp checkout and your number in the store header keep the conversation one tap away; the order still lands in your dashboard.
UPI, cards, COD and advances · Free
Payments go to your own Razorpay, PhonePe or Cashfree account with 0% commission. For bulk orders, take an advance by UPI and the balance on delivery.
Coupons and free delivery above a value · Free
A code for the second function, free delivery above the order value a family typically spends — both free.
Announcement bar and pause ordering · Free
Put the last date for custom orders at the top of every page, and pause ordering with your own message when your hands are full.
Buy X Get Y, sales boosters and reviews · Growth
“Buy 2 Get 1”, a slide-out cart with upsells, frequently bought together, and product reviews with Google stars — trust that matters when a stranger is ordering 200 pieces.

Frequently asked questions
When is the wedding season in India?
Roughly November to February, with a second run in April to June. The auspicious (muhurat) dates vary by community, region and year, so a seller plans by month, not by date: stock and photos ready by late October, bulk orders through November and December, and a second push in April.
What can a small seller sell online in the wedding season?
Return gifts and favours, imitation and bridal jewellery, outfits and dupattas for guests, mehendi and haldi favours, décor pieces and props, trousseau packing, personalised gifts for the couple, sweets and dry-fruit boxes, footwear and bags, and groom accessories. Pick one or two you can pack and ship.
How do I take a bulk order of 200 return gifts on a SitesPlaced store?
Add a product for the set — “Return gifts, box of 50” — with personalisation fields for the names and the message, take the conversation on WhatsApp, and have the family order through the product so the quantity and address are written down. Take an advance by UPI and put the delivery date in writing. There is no per-product minimum quantity and no quote feature (only a minimum order value for the whole cart, under Settings → Checkout); the product-per-set approach does the job honestly.
Can I open an online store for the wedding season for free?
Yes. On SitesPlaced the store is free with 0% commission: unlimited products and orders, UPI and cards through your own Razorpay, PhonePe or Cashfree account, cash on delivery, WhatsApp checkout, coupons, personalisation and the free-shipping bar. You pay only if you want what a paid plan adds.
Which paid features help most in the wedding season?
Starter puts the store on your own domain and removes the badge — trust matters when a stranger is ordering in bulk — and every paid plan makes pages answer about 4× faster. Growth adds Buy X Get Y, the sales boosters and product reviews with Google stars. In India you can pay once, ₹199 for 30 days of Starter or ₹499 for 30 days of Growth, with no autopay.
I am the couple, not a seller — where do I go?
The wedding-website guides and the Celebrations page are for you: an invitation site with RSVPs, events and directions. This page is for the sellers who supply the wedding.
