I thought traditionally the inlaws are not at the mayoun. From my understanding, the mayooun is the chance for the bride's side to feed her mithai, apply uptan, do mehndi, and practice singing and dancing. The reason it's laid back is because it's traditionally supposed to be "ghar wale." Then the mehndi has both sides, and the groom's side can do all the ubtan/mithai stuff for the bride.
These days, you absolutely can wear makeup and jewellery. However, if your wedding is simple, you should keep the makeup and jewellery simple.
maiyo is like atleast 10 or so days before the wedding / mehndi
larki yellow kapray pehanti and all women come.
rasmein include applying haldi on the girl and making her wear yellow and green chooriyaan. i guess maiyyo is the starting ceremony to state that the girl is now going to get married in a few days.
some cant go out and stuff after the maiyyo issey kehtay hai maiyyo bhetna
hey guys! hope u well.
maiyon is exactly what mizzrani had written. but now a days i've seen people doin it on a big scale n its much similar to mehndi. where as, i guess it should b a small func, where girls can have their own time n chill out, u know what i mean. GOD knows what i'll b doin :)
but i like it that way :)
I had hte best mayyoun
My friends threw me a lil surprise party // bridal shower //mayyoun-ubtan..
I dressed up in a nice jora, and they gave me gifts and hten brought me out to the living room to “surprise” me and threw rose petals all over me… and hten each girl sat me down and gave me mithai, put oil in my hair and ubtan on my face…Man, my friends spent alot of time/money doing hte decorations and getting hte btan and rose petals and stuff.. :jano:
mayoun is the ceremony u have before the mehndi... in which the guys family comes to your place... and it signifies the start of the wedding celebrations... ie dholkis etc.... it might be slightly diff in diff families... but like after mayoun.. girl is not really supposed to leave the house or change her clothes.. i think?
^ Actually, traditionally in the mayoun, the other side is NOT present. This is the time for the ghar wale to prepare and celebrate. The mehndi traditionally involves the interactions of the two sides.
Is it strictly "yellow" for mayoon? What do u guys think?
Nothing is strictly anything anymore, to be honest. Yellow was traditional for mayoon partly because this was the time the dulhan was being pampered with ubtan and oils, etc. Yellow showed the least staining. Also the idea is that you don't wear the bridal red until the day of the wedding; "phir rang kihlta". I guess you glow in your bridal red and you don't want to take away from that day.
Yes Sahar that is exactly why i think ppl still prefer to stick to yellow on Mayoons. I have seen more people experimenting with colors for mehndi, which is why i wanted to know if yellow was generally the preferred choice for mayoon? Have you seen mayoon brides in a differnet colour?
