Rasm-e-Hina card: wording in Urdu and English for the Mehndi night

رسمِ حنا یعنی مہندی کی رسم۔ 'حنا' عربی اور فارسی میں مہندی کو کہتے ہیں، اس لیے کارڈ پر رسمی طور پر 'رسمِ حنا' لکھا جاتا ہے اور بول چال میں 'مہندی'۔

Small tips

• Write which side is hosting; joint Mehndis are common now.
• Add the dress colour; guests ask anyway.
• If Mayoon is the same night, call it 'Mayoon & Rasm-e-Hina'. What Mayoon is: rasm-e-mayoon meaning.
