What would you wear to a Mehndi party that will have manicure/pedicures and henna painting on site. The card clearly states “casual attire”. But Mehndi’s are the fun part of a wedding. I don’t want to wear jeans because i am sure i will be getting a pedi/mani and having henna applied but at the same time don’t want to ruin my nice dresses either…
What would you do???
Re: Mehndi Party
scrubs
Re: Mehndi Party
To get pedi, you can pull the jeans bottom up. For mani, you can wear a short or sleeveless blouse.
I mean a yellow or green blouse and a embroidered jeans
Re: Mehndi Party
Barfee: what has happened to your fashion sense????
Re: Mehndi Party
how will a mani/pedi/henna mess up your clothes? you can wait for it to dry and have someone tie a plastic bag around your wrists while mehendi is dried when you are ready to change clothes (in case you are worried about the sleeves getting messed up.
you can always find out what the hosts are wearing and dress a notch down accordingly...
Re: Mehndi Party
a mani/pedi definitely won;t mess up your clothes, about the henna well it barely takes 30 mins for henna to dry up once its applied in these intricate designs. Just make sure its not something u have to keep fixing or setting and ur dupatta doesn't need constant attention and u should be ok. if u have some cotton chunri kinda thing wear that or then jeans with a yellow/green jurta. just roll up the sleeves and pants.
Re: Mehndi Party
Oh and make sure you dont get henna done on your palms if you are the one driving...lol I am talking from experience. ITS HARD.
Re: Mehndi Party
Let me remind you guys...that i am also expecting....so there are a lot of things that i am looking at. A pregnant woman gets uncomfortable in jeans after a few hours atleast i do........
Re: Mehndi Party
uh oh...cant you wear like a casual-dressy suit? Or how about jeans for pregnant women? the ones that have like stuff in the belt instead of jeans?
Re: Mehndi Party
i think its time u got some kurtay style kameez's made for ureself.. not the kurtis u wear with pants.. the long traditional kurtay...
i guess if ure saying jeans arent comfy.. ure only option now is to wear a shalwar kameez... hell im not expecting and can't even wear jeans all the time.. infact even trousers... good ol shalwar me loves!
Re: Mehndi Party
You could wear a skirt and a blouse/shirt. These days they have all those chunri kind of skirts which will go well with mehndi and will be comfortable to wear with respect to your pregnancy aswell.
or just wear a half sleeves kameez shalwar. Just get your pedi/menicure first and then go for mehndi. Oh by the way just make sure that the smell of mehndi doesn't make you nausietic(spell??)
Re: Mehndi Party
Oh well, you definitely should not wear jeans. Go for some normal mehndi party shalwar/qameez type clothes. You can still get your mani/pedis and henna in normal clothes. Wear any normal (but a bit fancy) green/yellow clothes
Re: Mehndi Party
wear a bright funky trouser suit, not too flashy!
Re: Mehndi Party
Just wear clothes that you would wear otherwise to a mehndi party, a pedicure/manicure won't ruin your clothes and especially if your shalwar is short sleeved. Even if you have mehndi done on your hands it will have dried by the time the artist has even finished the mehndi. DON'T WEAR JEANS!
Re: Mehndi Party
dhoti all the way - nice and comfy plus stylish and unique i can assure you people wont take their eyes off you… 
Seriously speaking! I would wear nice stylish shalawar and kameez. may be butterfly style shalwar…
Re: Mehndi Party
^ lol Nia kabhi tow serious ho jaya karo. We’re discussing a serious fashion issue here 
wear a semi formal shalwar kameez or kurti with pants. Jeans :nono:
Re: Mehndi Party
You cant go wrong wth a simple salwar kameez.. it doesn thave to be super fancy 
If I had to go to one, I know exactly what I would wear 
Re: Mehndi Party
I don;t get how u guys are getting pedicures at the mehndi. Are there going to be rows of tubs full of water with women scrubbing everyones feet and filing their nails? Isn't that a mess of its own?
Re: Mehndi Party
^ Maybe getting it done one by one. I mean one at a time or maybe two girls doing it for the girls invited to the party?
Re: Mehndi Party
Well the bride's mom has arranged for 4 professionals who will be doing the pedi and mani and 6 women who will be applying the mehndi. I guess they do this at all their weddings. This is going to be the first for me.
Thanks for all the serious and non-serious mashwaras:)
I like the chunri style skirt option. If that does not workout than a semi-formal shalwar kameez will do.
I do have maternity jeans but let me tell you after an hour they too become very very uncomfy.
