 Mehndi
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. . . Schedule a hair and makeup trial at least 2 months prior to the wedding. . . Having your reception on a Friday or Sunday will significantly reduce your cost. . . Block off hotel rooms for your guests and let them know the hotel information in advance. . . Register in at least 2 different stores to accommodate all guests. . . . Create programs with a translation of your wedding ceremony. . . Create a specialty drink at your reception that goes with your theme or represents your honeymoon. . . Display your engagement pictures at your wedding or reception. . . Make sure your passport is renewed and you have a visa for your honeymoon if outside of the U.S. . . Set up an airline discount for your out-of-town guests . . . Have a final fitting with all wedding outfits and jewelry 2 weeks before the wedding. . . Have your engagement ring cleaned 1 week before the wedding for maximum sparkle. . . Prepare an emergency kit for the day of the wedding - read our article for details. . . Have a facial done a month before the wedding and again 2-3 days before. . . Have your manicure done before you have your mehndi done.
