Mehndi Night
The Mehndi party will be held the night before the
Nikkah wedding ceremony. Traditionally, it is held in
the home of the bride and only includes women from the
bride's side. However, our Mehndi night will include
both sides of the family and will be held at Maizal's
parents home.
It is a fun and relaxing evening for the
bride to spend with her closest friends and relatives.
The evening is spent applying mehndi (henna) designs
to the bride's hands and feet. Friends and family may
also have some mehndi applied. While applications are being
done their may be music and food for the guests.
This is an invitation only event.
