The mehendi is the relaxed heart of a North Indian, Gujarati, Rajasthani or Muslim wedding: an afternoon or evening when the bride sits for hours while mehendi artists work, the women of the family sing, someone brings out a dholki, and everyone else gets at least one hand done. In Kashmiri Pandit families it is the maenzraat, held the night before the wedding. Guests are mostly women of both families and close friends, although many modern mehendis welcome everyone. It is usually one or two days before the wedding, and the dress code tends towards green, pink and bright pastels.
A mehendi invite needs to answer practical questions: how long it runs, whether to come early for a slot with the artist, what to wear and where to park. This free page puts all of that on one link, with a Google Maps button, a dress code line and an RSVP that helps you book the right number of mehendi artists. Add the dholki or dinner as a second item, set a countdown, and send it with a personal greeting to each family.
