The wedding card gets the formal words. The haldi invitation message, the mehendi note and the sangeet invite are where families relax, and where most of the confusion happens: guests turn up in white to a haldi, or an hour late to a mehendi that started at noon. A good pre-wedding invitation is short and practical. It says what, when, where and what to wear, then adds one line of fun.

## What should a haldi, mehendi or sangeet invitation say?

Four things: **the function**, **the date and start time**, **the venue** (or the home address with a landmark) and **the dress code**. If it is at home, add whose home it is, because cousins often have three “Mama ji's house” in their heads.

Give a real start time. Haldi is usually in the morning, mehendi runs for hours, and a sangeet with performances needs people seated before the first dance. “From 11 am” tells guests when to arrive; “morning” does not.

## Haldi invitation messages

Haldi is the messiest and most informal function. Tell people to wear yellow, and warn them that the clothes may not come back the same colour.

Questions

## Questions people ask

What do you write in a haldi invitation message?

The function, the date and time, the venue and the dress code. Haldi is messy, so tell guests to wear yellow they don't mind staining, and give a start time, because haldi is usually in the morning and late arrivals miss it.

What should guests wear to haldi, mehendi and sangeet?

Yellow for haldi, green or bright colours for mehendi, and something dressy you can dance in for sangeet. Families set their own colours, so say yours in the message. If there is no dress code, say “wear something comfortable”.

When is the haldi ceremony held?

Usually on the morning of the wedding or the day before, at the bride's and groom's homes separately or at one venue. Mehendi is often the day or evening before the wedding, and sangeet the night before or two nights before.

Do haldi, mehendi and sangeet need a separate invitation?

Not always. One wedding invite can list every function. Send a separate message when only some guests are invited to a function, or when it is at home and you want to share the address and a time to arrive.

Is the sangeet only for women?

The ladies sangeet traditionally was, with dholak and songs at home. Most sangeet nights today are for everyone, with dances by both families. If yours is ladies-only, say so plainly in the message.
