But what if the men who are supposed to leave and the women who are supposed to stay came in the same car? I think you should be prepared for the fact that this invitation will be very confusing. It’s one function and you’re saying they’re invited to it, but not all of it. You’ll get questions in advance and you will also have more men having to stay in the waiting area than expected.

It might be simpler just to make sure the men have a proper place to go after. As the evening wears on, distant people will leave anyway.

I mean really the only men invited to it are close guy friends of mine, close male relatives on both sides, and super close family friends on my fiance’s side. My fiance already told everyone on his side about the schedule (we’re having this weird confusing because of his side…my side is more liberal and keeping it co-ed wouldn’t be an issue) and the close men on our side know too. In case anyone shows up that for some reason is confused, there’s definitely a place to chill for the guys outside the hall since the room my mehndi is in is kind of seperated from the rest of the hotel. Most people in our community are used to having the men kicked out for dances so I don’t think that’ll be the surprise, i think its mostly just making sure people don’t ALL bring their male counterparts because trying ot fit that many extra men in the outside area is while dancing is happening is going to be the issue
