when you give people a choice you will have a great deal of variance when they turn up…unless you are going to do a pre-approval thing where you get to see what they select and have an opportunity to veto it. (this also leads to issues with conflicting tastes, etc.)

better to pick something simple…like a black long kurta or dress and have them all do gold chooridaars and accessories.

I was thinking about that too but the only reason I don’t want to do the same simple thing is because for the mehndi, they’re all wearing basically the same exact outfit. I don’t want to turn them into clones for the wedding too. And it’s easier/less $$ for them to pull out a black/gold outfit that they may already have (since it’s a fairly popular color group for events) vs having to pay money for something that I’m going to get. My mother has more expensive tastes/is picky so she wouldn’t get them something simple…it’d be unfair to have my friends pay for something that may be too much for them. And my parents spent a decent amount of money on their mehndi outfits (definitely not run of the mill “simple” outfits) so I don’t want to have them pay for the wedding suits.

Hmm…the “variation” and the varying tastes is A LITTLE scary but this way , they won’t feel like I"m dictating what they’re wearing for every event. Plus, I think the 4th pic from the top with variety looks the best.
