Indian Wedding

A good friend is getting married in NJ, so the wife and I are flying there. It's going to be a big Indian wedding, and we've never been to one. For those of you who have been, what should non-Indian guests expect?

1). Do we need to wear formal Indian outfits? I found some pretty nice ones here. They look expensive, so I assume they are formal wear. They also have ladies' outfits on the site.

2). What kind of gifts is acceptable? I know for some non-Indian weddings the couples prefer a cash gift.

3). I was assigned to be a photo coordinator. I wasn't given enough details, but I assume it's another word for a photographer. Any ideas on this?

4). What else do we need to know?

Thanks!
 
You don't need to wear Indian clothes. Those are really expensive and even many Indians won't wear it. The last wedding I went to had a bridal registry. Check if this one has one. Makes getting gifts 10x easier.
 
1) You don't have to wear formal Indian clothing. Whatever you would wear to any other wedding should be just fine.

2) See if they have a registry or something. If not I really don't know what to suggest. If it's a good friend, I'm sure you can figure something out.

3) Your best bet would be to ask them for more details.

4) Be prepared to enjoy the food. There'll be a ton of dancing at some point and lots of drinking.

Have an awesome time. Weddings are fun.
