Mehndi Ceremony Invitation Wordings

A mehndi ceremony invitation should say whose mehndi it is, who is hosting, the date, time and venue, and the mood of the function – colours, music, dance or a dress code. Mehndi invites can be more playful than the main wedding card, so a fun line or a short rhyme works well. Below are ready-to-use mehndi ceremony invitation wordings in English and Hindi for the bride's family, the groom's family and WhatsApp.

Who hosts the mehndi?

In most families the mehndi is hosted by the bride's family a day or two before the wedding, with female relatives and friends at the centre of the celebration. Many grooms' families now hold their own mehndi too, and some couples combine it with the sangeet. The invitation should come from whoever is hosting, so write the family name clearly at the top or bottom of the card.

What to include in a mehndi invitation

• The name of the bride (or groom) and the family hosting the function.
• Date, day and time – mehndi is often an afternoon or evening event.
• Venue, with a map link on digital invites.
• Dress code or colour theme, such as green, yellow or "come in your brightest".
• Any combined events – many families hold the mehndi with the sangeet or a ladies' sangeet.
• RSVP name and phone number.

Design ideas for a mehndi invite

• Colours: green, yellow, orange and pink are the classic mehndi palette.
• Motifs: henna patterns, hands with mehndi designs, marigold flowers, dholak and umbrellas.
• Caricatures: an illustration of the bride getting her mehndi done adds a playful touch. See our caricature invitations.
• Video: a short video with a peppy folk or Bollywood track suits the mood of the function.
• Match the set: keep the mehndi invite in the same style as the main wedding card and the sangeet invite, with a different colour.

Frequently asked questions

When should a mehndi invitation be sent?

Send it along with the main wedding invitation, or two to three weeks before the function if it is a separate invite.

Can the mehndi and sangeet be on one invitation?
