You may have heard about an IV drip bar for hangover relief – and if you haven’t, you’re about to. This unexpected trend has now joined the ever-growing checklist of what we proudly call a big fat Indian wedding. Such weddings are practically week-long festivals, packed with haldi pool parties, glamorous cocktail nights, grand sangeet performances, dramatic entry themes, selfie booths, drone shots, and endless add-ons. And now, there’s one more thing on the list to “recover” from all that fun.
IV drip bars take over destination weddings, video goes viral on Instagram
A reel from the Instagram handle @skulptedbykan has taken the internet by storm, showing a scene no one expected at a big fat Indian wedding—guests lounging by the pool, connected to vitamin IV drips as if it’s the most normal thing ever. The clip instantly grabbed attention because, instead of the usual nimbu paani or black coffee for a post-party fix, this wedding offered something far more high-tech: a full-blown IV drip bar for hangover relief.

In the viral reel, the brand calls it a simple yet game-changing idea for party-packed destination weddings. Their caption reads,
“POV: You’re at a destination wedding… and instead of nimbu paani, there’s a legit IV bar next to the poolside. It’s such a simple concept, but such a massive upgrade to the whole wedding experience. If you’re hosting in 2025… this is a flex that actually helps people.”
And clearly, this “flex” has caught the attention of thousands online, sparking curiosity, debates, and plenty of jokes.
The company behind the setup, Skulpted, also addressed safety concerns right in the caption. They clarified,
“Just to clarify for anyone curious – we operate under a valid Health Trade License from the Public Health Department, and all IV drips at events are done by trained medical staff with sterile, single-use needles. Safety always comes first here at Skulpted.”
This reassurance came as many viewers wondered whether such services should be part of wedding festivities at all.
