My Indian/south Asian brides:mehndi night

I am getting my mendhi done a week before. It normally last up to 2 weeks so I think it is fine! Best of luck with everything

That sounds perfect Monica!! ❤️

I'd also set up a playlist or two for background music!

Yeah, just some music! I am combining my mehndi and dohlki night together so I'm getting a dhol or too. Save money instead of two different nights!

It might be fun to turn it into a bach night! Maybe some games or fun activities?

Looking back, I wish I could have done something like that for my wedding. Unfortunately my fam is too traditional and thinks that celebrating is indicative of a lack of discipline lol.

ALSO: I'd take into account the amount of hand-washing/sanitizing/labor you're going to be doing prior to the wedding. Typically, mehndi a week beforehand would be fine, but I know we've all been hand-washing and sanitizing like crazy lately and I'm thinking it's not going to be dark come wedding day. 2-3 days out might be ideal if you're looking for that "suhaag color" look.

I think perhaps for 15 people, it might not be worth the effort. Bhangra/Jaggo is very much along the lines of "the more, the merrier" and "go big or go home". If you were having a full-on jaggo (with all the aunties and drunk uncles), then perhaps dholkis and bhangra dancers would be more appropriate.
