Quick answer
For an Udaipur destination wedding, plan on one welcome-room pack per guest room and one favour per guest. Build them from whole nuts that stay good in warm rooms: badam, kaju and pista. Order two to three weeks before the first guest arrives. That leaves time to taste, pack and fix mistakes before the wedding.
Udaipur’s lakeside hotels and havelis draw weddings from all over India and abroad. That puts a particular demand on the dry fruit side. Guests are away from home for several days and stay in hotel rooms, and the favours often travel home with them in a suitcase. Here is how we would plan it.
First, what we supply and what we do not
We sell dry fruits, nuts, seeds and mukhwas in sealed packs of 100 g, 250 g, 500 g and 1 kg. Many families and wedding planners in Udaipur already have a box, pouch or basket designed for the wedding. They order the contents from us in larger packs, then portion them and fill the boxes themselves or through their decorator.
That usually works out better anyway. You choose the packaging to match the wedding, and the nuts inside are fresh rather than boxed weeks earlier.
Welcome-room packs: what guests actually eat
A welcome-room pack is what a guest finds on arrival, often after a long drive or a flight. It gets eaten, not admired. So it should be something to snack on, plus one thing that feels local.
- A salted nut for the evening: Kaju Roasted or Roasted Almonds, about 50 g.
- A mixed pack for the next morning: our Trial Mix with 12 Nuts and Dry Fruits, about 50–75 g.
- Mukhwas for after the big dinners. A small pouch of Manpasand Mukhwas feels right in Rajasthan, and guests use it. Our guide to mukhwas explains the different kinds.
Plan one pack per room, not per guest. A couple sharing a room will share the pack.
Favours to take home: how many and how much
Favours are for keeping, so they should be plain whole nuts that last well: Jumbo Almonds, Jumbo or Super kaju, and pista. Allow 100–150 g per favour. More than that gets heavy in a suitcase for guests flying home.
| Guests | Rooms (approx.) | Welcome packs | Favours at 120 g | Total nuts to order |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 80 | 40 | 40 (about 7 kg) | 80 (about 10 kg) | about 17 kg |
| 150 | 75 | 75 (about 13 kg) | 150 (about 18 kg) | about 31 kg |
| 250 | 125 | 125 (about 22 kg) | 250 (about 30 kg) | about 52 kg |
The welcome-pack column assumes about 175 g per room across the three items above. Add five to ten percent extra for late additions, damaged packs and family members who will certainly ask.
What keeps in heat and what does not
Many Udaipur weddings fall in the cooler months. But the season stretches, rooms can be warm, and favours sit in cars and luggage. Some dry fruits handle that far better than others.
| Keeps well | Handle with care | Avoid for favours |
|---|---|---|
| Whole badam, whole kaju, pista, kishmish | Roasted and masala nuts (best within a few weeks of making), walnuts (oily, can turn bitter) | Soft dates and dried berries in open pouches (they get sticky and clump), charoli (goes stale fast) |
If you want dates in the welcome packs, Medjool Dates travel better in a small sealed tub than loose in a pouch. Keep them for rooms, not for the take-home favours.
When to order, and how delivery works to Udaipur
Orders to Udaipur usually arrive in a day or two. For a wedding, though, speed is not the constraint. The packing is. Work backwards from the day guests arrive:
- Four weeks out: fix the guest and room count and the box size. Order a few 250 g packs to taste and to test in the box.
- Two to three weeks out: place the full order. That gives time to fill boxes without leaving nuts sitting around for a month.
- One week out: packing done, boxes stored in the coolest room you have, away from direct sun.
Delivery is free on orders over ₹1,000, which any wedding order will be. Payment is online. Check today’s dry fruit prices in Udaipur before you budget. As a rough guide, almonds run around ₹990–₹1,120 a kilo and cashews around ₹930–₹1,480. Everything else is on our nuts shelf.
Prices on this page were checked in September 2026 and are a guide only. Dry fruit rates change with the crop and the season, so our product pages always show today’s price.
If the venue has rules about outside food in rooms, ask them early. Hotels differ, and that is easier to settle before the order than after.
Questions people ask
Can you put our names or logo on the boxes?
No. We supply the dry fruits in sealed packs, and you or your planner put them into your own boxes. Many couples prefer this because the packaging matches the rest of the wedding.
How far ahead can favours be packed?
Whole almonds, cashews and pista in sealed packs stay good for weeks in a cool room. Roasted and masala nuts are best within a few weeks of making, so pack those last.
How much dry fruit per guest is enough?
About 100–150 g for a take-home favour, and about 150–200 g for a welcome-room pack shared by a couple. Much more than that usually goes home uneaten.
Are dates a good wedding favour?
They work well in welcome rooms, where they get eaten within a day or two. For favours that travel, whole nuts hold up better in heat.
