QR code, wristband sent 6 hours in advance and… how did guests get entry in the most grand wedding of the year, Anant-Radhika?

New Delhi : The wedding of Anant, the youngest son of Asia’s richest man Mukesh Ambani, and Radhika Merchant has been organised. The special thing is that the arrangements for the security of the special guests attending the wedding were also very special. In this, there was a system of entry based on the QR code sent on the personal mobile phone. Apart from this, paper wristbands with color based codes were given for entry in different areas.

QR code sent 6 hours ago

Guests were asked to confirm their presence via email or Google Form. QR codes were shared with those who confirmed their presence six hours before the event. Entry into the venue was granted by scanning the QR codes sent on mobile phones and emails. Here, all guests were given different coloured paper wristbands on their wrists. This gave them entry to different areas based on the colour.

Different programs, different color wristbands

Several film stars and cricketers as well as Korean electronics giant Samsung Electronics chairman Lee Jae-yong and his/her wife wore pink wristbands on the wedding day and were seen in red wristbands on Saturday. Employees, security and service staff wore different coloured wristbands. Another source said the time between sending the QR codes and the actual event was reduced this time as at the Ambani family’s last wedding some people had ‘sold’ entry passes to non-invitees.

Separate invitations for wedding and reception

Three separate invitations were sent for the wedding and reception. The very special guests were sent a large red box, which contained a chest containing a small silver temple with gold idols of various Hindu deities, including Lord Ganesha, Radha-Krishna and Goddess Durga. The invitations featured separate cards for each wedding function, one of which was made of silver and resembled the main gate of an ancient temple. It included several memorabilia, such as a blue shawl and a silver box filled with gifts. The simplest invitation was in a laptop-sized box, which contained silver idols of the three deities and the invitation cards.
