The mehendi is an afternoon or evening of henna, music, dholki and snacks, usually with the women of both families at its heart. Its invitation can be warm and colourful. Here is wording to copy and adapt.
What to include in a mehendi invite
- Whose mehendi it is
- Date and time, and roughly how long it runs (henna takes a while)
- The venue, with a map link
- The dress code; green, pink, yellow and bright florals are popular
- Whether there will be music or a dholki, so guests come ready to dance

Tips
- If you have mehendi artists for guests, mention it. It's a big draw.
- Give an "onwards" time. Mehendi runs for hours and guests come and go.
- If the mehendi and sangeet are on the same evening, make that clear so guests dress for both.
