Henna night invitations

The henna night (in Saudi Arabia «al-ghumra») is a ladies' evening before the wedding, at the bride's family home or a small hall. Its invitation is lighter and more joyful than the wedding's, but needs the same care for privacy.

In short

A henna night invitation is a ladies' invitation, lighter and more joyful than the wedding one, in the name of the bride's mother or the bride herself, sent on WhatsApp one to two weeks before. Cards from QAR 350, interactive invitations from QAR 650.

The mood

Warm henna tones, green (the green thobe or thob al-nashal in Qatar), courtyards and patterns. Our henna invitations open gently onto the details. Try the «Henna nights» template in «Design your invitation»: type the names and see it live.

Wording

  • «يسعدنا دعوتكم لمشاركتنا ليلة حنّاء ابنتنا …» (we are delighted to invite you to our daughter's henna night)
  • «بكل الحب ندعوكم لليلة الحنّاء» (with love, we invite you to the henna night)
  • «… مساء يوم … في منزل …» (on … evening at the home of …)
  • A gentle note: «الدعوة خاصة بالنساء» (for ladies) or «نرجو عدم التصوير» (kindly no photography)

Guests' privacy

We never put the bride's or guests' photos on the invitation. RSVPs go to the family member you choose, and the numbers stay on your private board.

With the wedding, in one link

For the henna night, the malka and the wedding in one link, the full wedding site (from QAR 3,800) holds up to three events, and each guest sees only their own.
