ok ladies, i have my wedding invite wording down, but i need help with the mehendi invite wording!
gah!
this is option a:
With joyful hearts,
SGC’s family and friends
request the pleasure of your company
at her Mehendi celebration
on Friday, the third of August
two thousand and seven
at seven o’clock in the evening
and this is option b:
With joyful hearts,
SGC’s family and friends
request the pleasure of your company
at the Mehendi celebration
for SGC and András
on Friday, the third of August
two thousand and seven
at seven o’clock in the evening
issue with option a: its too inclusive of me. andrew’s gonna be there too with his groomsmen and his fam… BUT its a strictly pakistani affair that is traditionally for the girl, so should he be on the invite?
issue with option b: i’m using my name twice. does that sound weird??
hmmm. both good…but i would go with the second because the first one only has your name..people won’t know that it’s a mixed mehndi…i’ve known hijaabi kurian that read the invitation and thought “oh it’s the girl’s mehndhi” and turn up looking all dolled up, and then find out it’s mixed…might not be a problem for you but i prefer the second cos it states both names!!
and btw CONGRATS!!!
the thing is, if i name my bridesmaids, then family will get upset cos they're paying for the mehendi, and if i name one cousin, then i have to name all 20 or someone will get pissy. its so complicated! i don't want to put my parents names on there cos its really an informal sort of event and their names are already on the wedding invite.
what if i said something like,
Together with our families and friends
we request the pleasure of your company
at our Mehendi celebration
on blah blah blah
or third person,
Together with their families
SGC and Andrew
request the pleasure of your company
at their Mehendi celebration
etc.
or even
Together with their families
SGC and Andrew
invite you to join their Mehendi celebration
on Friday, the third of August
etc.
On ur 1st post i like the 2nd one.
Yeh theres always some1 who ends up getting offended for not being mentioned on the card! Reading all this stuff abt mehndi invitations makes me wanna go to ur mehndi as well even tho i live in London!
lol amani, if you wanna make the flight, i'll set a place for you! :)
i think i'm going to have to go with the second one in my first post too... but i'm still holding out for more responses. someone's gonna come up with the winner! any day now! lets go girls! :p
i got this card from a friend..and it didnt have any names of family on it (except for the parents' names)and NEAR AND DEAR ONES written :) i liked it ! no one gets a chance to be naraaz !
