What is Guest Mehendi?

Guest mehendi is the quicker, lighter mehendi applied to family and friends at a wedding, mehendi function or festival - typically half-hand Arabic, Indo-Western or minimal designs that take 10-30 minutes per person.

Guest Mehendi explained

For weddings, families usually book one or more guest artists separately from the bridal artist. Pricing is often per hand or per head.

Planning how many guests want mehendi helps the artist decide how many assistants to bring.
