The mehendi is a long afternoon of henna cones, folk songs and the bride sitting patiently while intricate designs dry on her hands and feet. With Ocvite you can create a mehendi ceremony invitation that sets the mood, explains timing and lets you count how many guests want henna applied.
Every guest replies from the invitation itself. Meal choices, plus-ones and headcount stay in one tidy list, so you can focus on the mehendi ceremony.

[Name]'s mehendi is on [Date] from [Time] at [Venue]. Henna, dholki songs and snacks all afternoon. Tap to RSVP by [RSVP date] so we can book enough artists for everyone who wants mehendi.
RSVP numbers tell you how many mehendi artists to book so guests are not left waiting for their turn.
Pick templates with paisley motifs and vibrant greens, pinks and oranges that echo mehendi decor.
Mention the start time, that henna takes time to dry and whether lunch, chaat or music is planned.
Share instantly with aunts, cousins and friends over WhatsApp groups, or by email for relatives abroad.
Plan the right number of henna artists by knowing who is coming, and set a relaxed, colourful tone for the afternoon.
Start Your InvitationTick these off before the invite goes out so guests have everything they need.
Select a template with mehendi-inspired colours, add the bride's or couple's name and a photo, and adjust fonts and colours. Enter the date, start time, venue and any note about henna for guests. Share it through WhatsApp, email or a link, and guests confirm attendance directly from the invite.
Share the start time and approximate length, since bridal henna can take several hours. Mention whether guests can have mehendi applied, the colour theme or dress code, if food and music are arranged, and the venue map. Suggest wearing outfits with sleeves that roll up easily.
Send them two to four weeks ahead, or alongside the main wedding invite if the mehendi is part of a wedding weekend. A reminder one or two days before is helpful, particularly for guests who want henna and should arrive early to get their turn with an artist.
The number of confirmed guests decides how many henna artists you need, how much snacking food to arrange and how much seating to set up. Ocvite shows attending, not attending and maybe responses in real time, along with plus-ones, so you can book artists with a realistic count.
In many Indian families the artist hides the groom's name or initials within the bride's intricate henna design. The groom is later asked to find it, and the playful search is part of the fun. Many also believe that a darker henna stain signals deep love and affection in the marriage.
