Intimate Mehendi Ceremony

Inhouse Mehendi Artist

To make these small ceremonies fun and cost-effective, you can have in-house mehendi artists. Instead of hiring an artist, have few people or your friends who are good at applying mehendi. Marriage celebrations already cost you up to many lakhs. On top of that, there are many small ceremonies which need to be celebrated before and after the wedding and these ceremonies will cost more than what you think. Many families could not afford it and would like to save the money for marriage. So, if you could just host an intimate ceremony, it will save your money since you do everything by yourself or with the help of your family. Organize a mehendi competition, let one of your family members be the judge to pick the winner. For decorations, take the help of your friends or cousins. Split the work and finish it prior to the ceremony time.

Playlist

For any event, be it Haldi, mehendi or get-together, music is a must. A party without music would be tedious. You need to cheer up your friends and guests so that they wouldn’t feel bored or lose interest. An event should be remarkable for everyone. Create a playlist ahead and include the best tracks like pop, cultural, and mehendi related songs. To keep your close ones more entertained, make a group and practice dancing. Perform it while the bride’s or groom’s hands are getting adorned with mehendi. You can also set up karaoke or play musical chairs to make the event quite amusing. To your surprise, you can have loads of fun without your money getting used up.

Snacks

For small parties, people do not actually serve food as these parties are less time-consuming. However, serving snacks would be very much appreciated since they can be prepared at home and at the last minute as well. If you are hosting a party with music, dance performances, and games, people need to be energetic. Make them delighted by serving snacks like meatballs, salad skewers, dry manchuria, crispy potato fries, chaat, sandwiches, kebabs, or momos. These snacks are easy to prepare and less time-consuming. Serve soft drinks to quill the thirst.

Video Shoot

When it comes to an auspicious celebration like marriage, you would want to capture every single moment so you can cherish them later. Even small ceremonies matter and need to be captured as well. First, embellish the background with beautiful flowers for the groom or bride in single pictures and then take group pictures once the mehendi is done. You do not have to hire someone, anyone with shooting skills can take the responsibility and shoot the whole ceremony including games and performances. You can create a shooting script ahead of time. Choose your music, use a zoom lens, and keep the camera stable.

Go Digital

In few situations, you will have to go digital and host a digital party. Because of the outbreak of coronavirus, everyone’s been isolated for months. No matter what the situation is, we are living in a digital world, so we need to make use of it efficiently. These days, everything is getting virtual. Meetings and parties are hosted online, and even exams are conducted online. For mehendi ceremony, you can create amazing invitations and send them via mail or WhatsApp. Coming to the celebration, the performances can be done, games can be played online, dress up, and makeup for the event since you need to record it and cheer up your closed ones.
