We are doing wine and beer only and was wondering if you have any ideas for which wines and which beers are nice and classy enough but won't bankrupt us haha.

For beers, are there any local ones near your destination that you could buy for your event? It'll make it more unique. Otherwise IPAs and wheat beers are a good option

I don’t think anyone pays attention to the wines since there are so many wine makers, no one knows every brand. We used wine from Aldi (not the Winking Owl brand), and I don’t think anyone could identify the random brand. For beer, we went to BJ’s and got mid-level stuff in bulk (Trulys, Heineken, and a local beer).

Are your guests young/old/evenly mixed? For beer I’d do one volume beer (a domestic lager) and one more interesting option like a local pick. For wine I’d do a pinot noir or red blend, a chardonnay if you have a lot of boomers and a sauv blanc or pinot grigio if the wine drinkers skew younger.

Hello Fishes,

I am new to the investing world. I have invested some 80k in Nifty fifty index funds. I wanted to increase my investment in other MFs and stocks.

Can you advise how to start it considering short term and long term financial goals.

Short term goals - like for 2-3 years

Long term goals - like for 5-6+ years or more depending upon the performance

I have seen multiple you tube videos but seems to get confused on how to start and which funds to pick.

Thank you!

We’re having an Indian wedding on a Sunday with ceremony in the morning, followed by lunch, and then cocktail hour + reception.

Given that the wedding starts early, we will have guests (~30) flying in the day before. What is the expectation in terms of arranging dinner for them? We’re trying to avoid having an additional event Saturday night - any idea on if these guests would need to have food arranged for them by us and what that could look like on a cost effective budget.
