Wedding season has already arrived, and couples are extremely busy with the hefty planning. While many people still opt for the big fat Indian weddings, some are considering intimate gathering options.
The pleasant weather of this time is extremely preferable for organising programs with huge crowds of loved ones. However, amidst all this chaos created by caterers, decorators, and other persons involved, what gets missed is the safety and security of the home.
While your home may house your most valuable possessions, it’s often neglected, especially during busy times like wedding preparations. This can lead to sanitation issues and even the theft of wedding gifts and other precious items. To help you maintain safety and security during this hectic period, here are 5 essential home safety measures to consider:

1) Utilise outdoor options more than your home – This is extremely helpful if you can conduct the majority of events outdoors. It will prevent guests from crowding the indoor spaces, which will help it from being clearer.
2) Limit guest count – Although it is quite difficult to shorten the guest list at Indian weddings, to keep your house safe, you need to take care of it. More specifically, cutting down the guest list as per the home’s maximum capacity will help in giving accommodation to the closest one easily. For those travelling from different states or countries who will be staying in your home, it is recommended to allocate hotels for their stay rather than your home to avoid overcrowding.
3) Adjust catering services alongside a few helping hands – Food comes with major disposal problems. Moreover, cleaning the tables or floor after the guests have had their meals becomes most troublesome during weddings. So, it is recommended that you contact a few people who can help with cleaning the utensils. The dining area is extremely essential.

4) Decorate your house with eco-friendly items – Who will not want to decorate their houses in the trendiest way? But what should we do with those decorations after the ceremonies are over? For this reason, you must decorate your house with eco-friendly, bio-degradable items. However, items like flower vases, mattresses, extra sofas or furniture like that, which generally have no use afterwards, should be rented. This will also help cut down on costs.
5) Plan a safe place for the pets – Constant cleanliness during weddings is extremely important. For this, a dedicated house help should be kept, who will be all set to pick up loose items and dust and do a touch-up cleaning of the floors and furniture at frequent intervals. Alongside it, a safe place to keep the pets for the time being should be ensured so that they don’t have to poop and pee inside the house, and if possible, a helping hand for them who will also take care of them should be hired.
Remember, these measures are crucial for ensuring the safety of your home, even during the hustle and bustle of weddings.
