Sangeet questions
Planning the whole wedding? See our wedding guide, the plate calculator and the safety tips.
Is plate smashing an Indian tradition?
No, it comes from Greek celebrations, where breaking a plate is a sign of joy and good luck. It has become a popular, playful addition to sangeets and wedding receptions in India.
How many smash plates do we need for a sangeet?
Count the people who will join in rather than every guest, and plan one to two plates each. Orders start at 10 plates. For 500 or more, ask us for a bulk quote.
Which plate should we choose?
SmashLite (6″) is made for handing to every guest. SmashPrime (8″) is the bigger plate for the couple's moment. Both come in white, red, blue and green, or ask for a custom design with your names and date.
How soon should we order?
Plates are made to order and dispatched within 2–3 days, then travel by courier. Order a week or more before the sangeet to be safe.
Is it safe at a sangeet?
Yes, with a little planning: a hard floor, a clear zone, closed shoes for smashers and children kept back. Read our safety guide before the night.
