Functions
How to Plan a Mehendi, Haldi and Sangeet That Guests Remember
Quick answer
Give each pre-wedding function its own mood — themes, timings, entertainment and food ideas for mehendi, haldi and sangeet.
Pre-wedding functions are where families relax and have fun. Giving each one its own mood keeps a multi-day wedding exciting.
Mehendi
Plan an afternoon with comfortable floor seating, enough mehendi artists (roughly one for every 12–15 guests) and light snacks and drinks that are easy to eat with decorated hands.
Haldi
Morning haldis are fresh and bright. Choose outdoor space, marigold décor, a clear clean-up plan and outfits everyone doesn't mind getting yellow.
Sangeet
Book the choreographer early, schedule family rehearsals, keep performances short and leave plenty of time for open dancing with the DJ.
A good running order matters more than a big budget — plan transitions, entries and the food timing carefully.
