Mehendi invitation

The mehendi is an afternoon or evening of henna, songs and long conversations while the bride's hands and feet are painted. Guests get their own mehendi too, there are dholak songs, and in many families it's where the bride's friends take over. It's one of the most-photographed functions, so people want to know what to wear.

    Track RSVPs

    On Pro (₹99), guests reply inside the invite and you see who is coming to each function.

funvite's mehendi templates use henna greens, marigold and floral patterns. Make it a standalone invite for the women of the family, or a mehendi-and-sangeet invite if you're combining the two.

What to include

  • Whose mehendi it is
  • Date and time — note that henna takes time, so guests who want mehendi should arrive early
  • Venue and whether it's at home
  • Dress code: greens, florals, a colour theme
  • Whether men are invited — some families keep it ladies-only
  • Food: high tea, chaat or dinner

Mehendi traditions

Many families hide the groom's name or initials in the bride's mehendi for him to find later. The mehendi often comes from the groom's family, and in some communities the colour of the henna is said to show how loved the bride will be. In Muslim families the mehendi (or mayun-mehendi) night is often a big celebration with its own songs. These are lovely details for a line on the invite — but only if they're true for your family.

Questions

Frequently asked

How long before the wedding is the mehendi?

Usually one or two days before, so the colour deepens by the wedding day.

What do guests wear to a mehendi?

Bright, comfortable clothes — green, yellow and floral prints are popular. Mention any theme on the invite.

Is the mehendi only for women?

Traditionally it's a women's function, but many families now invite everyone. Say clearly on the invite.

Can I make one invite for mehendi and sangeet?

Yes. Add both as separate events in the same invite with their own times.

Can guests see the mehendi artist's timing?

Add it as a line — "mehendi artists from 3 pm" — so guests who want henna arrive early.
