Re: People invited to the Mehndi but not Baraat

@S02

Did you mean “People invited to the Baraat but not the Mehndi”?

I would list the names of the people invited to the mehndi on the mehndi card itself (or put it in a smaller envelope and put the names on the outside).

Lol. yes. Dumb of me.

Yep, I decided to write “ladies only” on the mehndi cards where I’m trying to say I don’t want them to bring their men.

@S02

What are the timings for this? Are there several hours between the nikkah and the beginning of the “mehndi”? How are you going to communicate this schedule to your guests? Is there a clear/distinct end to the nikkah function before the mehndi begins?

Nope, nikkah is at the beginning of the mehndi function, same venue. Just that appetizers will be out and then nikkah will happen at 8 iA and then maghrib, the mehndi rasams that don’t involve dancing/segregation, then dinner and then most of the men that aren’t close family but had to be present for the nikkah will leave and dancing/more dancing/singing.
