Frequently asked questions
- Which Pakistani city has the most mithai & sweets?
- Karachi has the largest vendor pool by count, but Lahore matches it for traditional categories like mithai & sweets. Islamabad has a smaller pool but more diplomatic-tier options at the top end.
- Where is it cheapest to book a mithai & sweets shop?
- Outside the DHA Karachi / Cantt Lahore premium corridors, mithai & sweets are typically 25–40% more affordable. Suburban Lahore (Bahria, Wapda Town), Faisalabad, and Multan all offer good value if you're flexible on geography.
- Should I book a mithai & sweets shop from a different city?
- Possible but adds travel cost (typically 10–20% on top of the package, plus accommodation for multi-day weddings). Top vendors do travel — particularly photographers and planners — but local vendors usually understand local-venue logistics better.
- What's peak shaadi season in Pakistan?
- October to February is peak across all three cities. Vendor pricing in this window is 15–30% above off-season. Book 6–9 months ahead for top vendors during peak, 2–3 months ahead off-season.
