Copy ## What to include in a mehndi invitation message Check the message covers these points before you send it, so no guest has to ask you for details later. - Whose mehndi it is and which family is hosting. - The time the artists start and the time they leave, since full hands take an hour. - The snack and dinner times, as a separate line. - The dress code, usually green, and a note on flat shoes if the seating is on the floor. - Whether it is a women-only evening or the whole family. - A reply-by date with a reason, usually the number of artists to book. ### Before you send - Put the artists' hours in the message. The one question every mehndi guest asks is whether she will get her hands done if she comes at 7. - Say who it is for. A ladies-only mehndi and a family mehndi with the groom's side are different evenings, and the message should make it clear. - Tell guests the seating is low if it is. Flat shoes and comfortable clothes make a mehndi evening last longer. - Send it a week ahead to the friends and ten days ahead to the relatives who travel, and send the address again the morning of. ## Send the mehndi invitation on WhatsApp with one-tap replies Paste the message once and every guest receives it individually on WhatsApp with Yes, No and Maybe buttons.
