    Are you inviting women who may not be familiar with the tradition? I would include a description of what will be happening, what everyone's roles are, and how important it is that all of your invitees share the occasion with you!

    Mehndi is a traditional pre-wedding ritual where a henna paste is applied on the bride and guests’ hands in a decorative pattern leaving a temporary red design.  It is said that the deeper the red tone of the bride’s hands, the stronger the marriage.
