Re: How to welcome the Baraat?
i just find that a bit uncomfortable... its one thing if you marry into the family, you have that familiarity but with a gheyr khandaan, you never know how they'll respond. i've seen rituals/asmein like this go horribly, horribly, embarassingly wrong and i just wouldn't take the chance unless the families were both comfortable and used to such things, and generally you can find that out from general conversation with them and how well the two families gel.
Re: How to welcome the Baraat?
nice idea, muun meetha wala
people used to do this…my grandmother told us how when any of their friend got married, they threw such things at barat…she lived in a village and it was common thing to do then…dont know if anyone does now
i got married last month, we didnt throw flowers at anyone instead we gave flower bracelets to all the women as they entered. (but that was also because everyone forgot the rose petals in my room). however, it looked much better than throwing petals on people, i just dont like that much. the guys side did the same thing on the valima. .
we did the same even on mehandi

Re: How to welcome the Baraat?
Thanks for all ideas, girls...
I think I might give a rose to every female...dont know what to do with the males. Maybe make thoose rose thingis to attach on their shirt etc (dont know what they r called).
Is it possible to make thoose at home? And when we hand a rose to every female do we need to wrap the rose in something or just hand them over as they r? I was thinking of attaching a ribbon on them...do I need anything else? As some kind of see trough wrapping paper or so...
Re: How to welcome the Baraat?
You can buy rose boutonnières from flourists for the guys. If thats expensive, I guess you can make them at home too
For the girls I think those flower bracelets looks prettier than just handing them a rose. I dont mean like a corsage style, I dont remember whats its called in Urdu, you know like small flowers all strung together on a ribbon, and then you tie the ribbon to their wrist as you welcome them
