Mehndi and Sangeet Invitation Wording in English, Hindi and Hinglish

A Mehndi or Sangeet invitation names the hosts and the couple, the function, the date, time and venue, and the dress code — in a warmer, more playful tone than the wedding card. These are the fun functions: henna, dholki, songs and dancing. The Mehndi night sees henna applied to the bride (and often the groom and guests) with food, music and dancing, and the Sangeet, as Wikipedia's article on Punjabi wedding traditions notes, began as a ladies-only evening of songs before growing into a party at home or a larger venue.

What should a Mehndi or Sangeet invitation include?

The function's name, whose wedding it is, who's hosting, the date and time, the venue with a map and the dress code. If it's a ladies-only Sangeet or a family-only Mehndi, say so clearly.

Function	Usually	Typical dress code	On the invitation
Mehndi	1–2 days before, daytime or evening	Green, yellow or bright colours	"Henna artists from 4 pm" if guests can get henna
Sangeet	1–2 evenings before	Festive, dancing shoes	Performances, DJ or dhol
Ladies Sangeet / Dholki	At home, a week or two before	Casual Indian	"Ladies only" if it is
Mehndi-Sangeet combined	The evening before	Colourful festive	Both timings in one card

List both with their own times on one card — "Mehndi from 4 pm, Sangeet from 7 pm" — so guests know they can come for one or both. For example: "Join us for an evening of henna, music and dance — Mehndi at 4, Sangeet at 7 — as we celebrate Anjali & Raghav."

When should you send Mehndi and Sangeet invitations?

With the wedding invitation, four to six weeks before, if the same guests are invited to everything. A ladies Sangeet or family Mehndi with a smaller list can go two to three weeks before. For the full order of functions, see Indian wedding functions explained; for WhatsApp messages to send with the invite, see WhatsApp wedding invitation messages.

Frequently asked questions

What do you write on a Mehndi invitation?

Whose Mehndi it is, the hosts, the date and time, the venue and the dress code — usually in a warm, colourful tone, with a note if henna artists will be there for guests.

Is the Sangeet before or after the Mehndi?

It varies by family. Often the Mehndi is in the day and the Sangeet that evening or the next; some families combine them into one evening.

Can Mehndi and Sangeet be on one invitation?

Yes — list both functions with their own times so guests know they can attend either or both.

What is a ladies sangeet?

A smaller, traditionally women-only evening of songs, dholki and dancing, usually at home a week or two before the wedding.

What should guests wear to a Mehndi?

Bright colours — green, yellow and pink are classic — and something comfortable to sit in while henna dries.

Can I add the Mehndi and Sangeet to my invitation on PixerInvite?

Yes. Add each function to your PixerInvite invitation with its own date, time, venue and dress code; on the Luxe plan guests reply per function.
