IWS TIP :  Buy or create a cardholder for your reception so no cards are lost or misplaced. . . . If you are having a Mehndi night, have your own mehndi started an hour before the guests arrive. . . . If you are having a traditional Sangeet and singing folk songs, create a booklet of songs so everyone can follow along. . .
