I'm Pakistani. In our culture, we have a number of wedding traditions, which makes our weddings last more than one day (it's more like a wedding WEEK haha). Anyways, the mehndi night happens before the wedding day. This is where we have dances, singing (dholki), food, drink (no alcohol since I'm muslim), and just fun in general. Now and days, brides are starting to have mixed mehndi's, but I'm still kind of conservative in that aspect, and want my mehndi to be women and girls only. How should I word my invitations? I know it's early, but since I'm getting my invitations custom made from Pakistan, I need nail the details down now.
Also, even though a good chunk of my family is Pakistan, and in other countries overseas, I still want to send them invitations knowing most of them won't attend. How far in advance do you think I should mail out the invitations? For those in London, Australia, etc. I'm not really worried, but the postal system in Pakistan isn't the greatest. I'm just worried if I take the normal 10-8 weeks, they might not arrive in time, or at all.
