Dec 30, 2026 - Mehndi & Welcome Gatherings
evening event:
attire:
what to expect:
A casual, drop-in gathering to say hello, catch up, and celebrate! The bride will already have her henna done, but guests are welcome to get their own designs if they'd like. Both attendance and henna are completely optional, so feel free to stop by in the evening whenever it's convenient!
Casual and comfortable! Come as you are. If you'd like henna, we recommend wearing something that allows easy access to your hands and arms. Keep in mind that henna takes time to dry!
Kick off the wedding weekend with us! The Mehndi is a pre-wedding tradition where henna designs are drawn on your hand to symbolize love, joy, and good fortune.
We'll be hosting two separate gatherings, one for the bride's loved ones and one for the groom's, so we can each welcome our family and friends before the big day!

dec 31, 2026 - Pithi
early afternoon event:
attire:
what to expect:
Just a heads-up: Turmeric can stain, so dress accordingly if you plan to participate!
The Pithi is a pre-wedding tradition where family and friends apply turmeric to the bride and groom as a way of sharing blessings, love, and good wishes before the wedding!
A little tradition, light snacks, and lots of love! Guests can help apply the turmeric or simply watch and celebrate. Don't worry, the bride and groom will be the ones getting messy!
Colorful and festive! We're not fussy, so anything between dressy casual and semi-formal works (Eastern or Western attire). Pink, yellow, orange, gold, and green are traditional favorites, but any vibrant colors are welcome!
