Re: Essentials to take to girl’s mendhi

@hibiscus

We are from the boy’s family and need to know what to take to the girl’s mendhi. We have the following:

Few thalis with mendhi, tealight and confetti
A nice thali for oil, bride’s mendhi and her chooriah. Also adding one cone of mendhi (do we need more?)
A suit, shoes and handbag for her
A red dupatta to put on her (sorry, not sure what it’s called. Not v experienced with weddings!)
We’ll make garland of fresh flowers and 2 bracelets of flowers
Trays of mithai, chocs and fresh fruit for when we feed her for rasms
A basket of mithai for guests, bride’s family
A basket of fruit?

Is there anything else? Are there things in the list above that we shouldn’t / don’t need to take?

When we go in, my mum will put the dupatta on her and the rest of us will walk in with the thalis etc. Do we do a little dance first or do we go straight in to doing the rasms of putting oil on her and feeding her mithai etc and money etc. Thanks for any advice.

Clothes, bangles, flower jewellery and paranda and shoes

Mehndi, Oil, Paan, Glitter, Surma, Supari, Panjiri (it’s done this way in our family)

Mithai, bangles to give away.

Those are very helpful lists. What else should be added? We are from the boy’s side too and do not want to miss anything.

Also, what colour of flower jewellery should we take? I know it is mostly white with red, yellow or pink, so which one is more appropriate for a mayoun or mehndi.
