The mehndi ceremony is the most colourful evening before the wedding. Henna is applied to the bride's hands, the women of the family sing traditional songs on the dholak, and friends insist on hiding the groom's name in the design. Many families hold a shagun mehndi at the groom's home too. Sending a separate invitation for it is an old tradition, especially when only women or close family are invited.
A mehndi invitation card includes the day, time, venue, dress code and a short message. On NimantranKaro you can make it as a separate card, or add mehndi to your wedding card as an event so everything stays on one link.

Tips for your mehndi card
- If mehndi and sangeet fall on the same evening, keep both as two events on one card.
- Tell guests to arrive a little early if they want henna applied.
- If there's henna for kids too, mention it; mothers will love it.
- Share the RSVP count with your mehndi artists so everyone gets their turn on time.
- Muslim families can use Roman Urdu wording for Rasm-e-Mehndi.
Separate card or wedding card event?
If only the women of the family, friends and neighbours are coming, a separate mehndi card is best: you send the link only to them, and other guests aren't confused. If all guests are invited, make mehndi an event in the wedding card. Guests then have one link with the time and map for mehndi, sangeet, wedding and reception, and you get every RSVP in one place.
Add old photos of the bride with her friends to the gallery for a personal touch. Prices are on the pricing page; start with the free preview.
