  • All-Women Events : At a traditional mehndi party, closer to 90% of guests will get henna, even those who initially say they don't want it often change their minds once they see the designs in person.

Time Planning for Henna Application

  • At an all-women event, expect closer to 90% participation.

10 Minutes Each :

  • Guests can get designs on both hands, with each design taking about 5 minutes.
  • Alternatively, they can choose a more intricate design on one hand, taking about 10 minutes.

20 Minutes Each :

  • For the bridal party or smaller pre-wedding functions, consider 20 minutes per person.
  • This allows for two moderately intricate designs (10 minutes each) or one highly detailed design (20 minutes).

Additional Considerations
