The function of Mehendi is to cherish both the couple and the guests.

But in between all the fun and dances, some questions should be acknowledged before the Mehendi event. If you are wondering karein toh karein kya, pehen toh pehne kya and what not? Then don’t worry we have your back!

What should I wear?

Bright colours and shades of green, orange, yellow, and pink are commonly used at Mehendi parties.

To make it simple to identify which side of the family you come from, the bride may ask her side of the family; her friends, sisters, or other family members to wear a particular colour.

Ladkewaale Ya Ladkiwaale… Who Hosts The Mehendi Party?

Mehendi night is mainly hosted by the bride’s side of the family. Everyone dances and plays some fun games while the bride enjoys being Mehendi put on her hands.

What About The Venue?

A Mehendi night usually has fewer guests compared to a big day. So booking a gigantic. Take out your list of guests and select the perfect location for your Mehendi, which is not too big or too small.

Also, even Mehendi functions take place at the bride‘s household itself, due to the smaller number of guests.

Now For The Guests: Do They Need to Bring Gifts?

It is entirely up to the guests to bring gifts. Bringing gifts to the Mehendi event can be a way to make up for not being able to make it to the wedding if one knows they won’t be able to.

Other than that, bringing a gift to a Mehendi celebration is not required. Why not, wait until the day of the wedding to give the prospective husband and wife any gifts or surprises?

What About Dance?

Mehendi party is all about the music and the most crucial part. (Of course, after the bride!) Make sure you have a danceable mix of upbeat songs prepared. Although having your sound system is an option instead of hiring a DJ, assign someone to be in control of the music on the big day.

Mehendi is where all the ladies gather together and dance their hearts out for the bride. While the bride can either dance along or just sit and enjoy.

Hello? What About The Food?

Dinner is a need for every event, but keep it straightforward and provide only a few alternatives so that attendees may stay dancing.

Make sure the food is something light but tasty, that doesn’t make someone’s stomach upset while dancing.

Serving a small quantity of food or limiting the varieties of cuisines is the best option.

Deciding About The Decoration?

Bright colours and creativity are key components of the Mehndi party. Since the Mehandi function is from the bride’s side of the family, choose a decor or the colour of the set in such a way that matches the bride’s outfit. For instance, if the bride is wearing red color, try making the decor in either light red or pink. In that way the bride even gets to enjoy her photographs.

Should We Hire A Photographer?

Hiring a photographer must be a brilliant idea if you have already planned a budget, involving a photographer for both the mehendi event and for your big day.

But in our opinion, since a mehendi event is an intimate event with only a few guests, asking one of your family members to click your pictures is the best idea.

Let everything happen according to the schedule.

No matter how beforehand you start the preparation, things might always get out of hand, or should we say, out of time, when it comes to any event.

However, having deadlines is beneficial so that you don’t fall behind too much. It is best for both the host and the guests that everything works according to time.

We are aware that organizing a mehandi can be far more hectic than organizing a wedding. But try to picture people dancing at your mehndi party in a manner reminiscent of a Bollywood movie scene, complete with rehearsed dance moves and vibrant, colorful attire. Does that make your overwhelming feeling become excitement?
