A mehndi party is a traditional pre-wedding celebration that originated in Indian culture but has reached Asian and Middle-Eastern cultures as well. Usually held the day before the wedding, the mehndi party is a way to celebrate the bride and to spend time with her as she gets the ceremonial Mehndi, also known as henna, decorations on her palms, the backs of her hands, and her feet. These decorations aren’t just for style, though. They carry glad tidings for the upcoming marriage, such as luck, love, and joy.
