Frequently Asked Questions

Should I mention a dress code in the Haldi invitation?

Yes — it helps a lot. Ask guests to wear yellow or old clothes, because turmeric stains do not come off easily. A one-line cue like "wear yellow, expect a little mess" is enough and sets the right expectation for an intimate, playful ceremony.

When should I send the Haldi invitation?

Haldi is usually a morning ceremony 1 day before the wedding. Send the WhatsApp invite 2-3 weeks before so close family and friends can plan. Keep it intimate — Haldi is typically not a mass-guest event.

What do guests wear to a Haldi?

Old or light-coloured clothes. Turmeric stains stay for days, so warn guests in the WhatsApp invite: "wear yellow, bright, or old clothes you do not mind staining." Traditional outfits in yellow or marigold-orange are the sweet spot.

Who should I invite to the Haldi ceremony?

Immediate family, grandparents, close aunts and uncles, and a handful of the bride or groom closest friends. Guest count is usually 30-60. Larger guest lists dilute the intimate ritual feel of the ceremony.

Is it okay to send Haldi invites only on WhatsApp?

Yes — Haldi is a casual, home-based ritual and WhatsApp is now the standard invite channel. Skip printed cards unless your family prefers formality. A short message with date, time, venue, and dress note is enough.
