pre-wedding parties

Pre-wedding parties are in fashion. While you can still have your Mehendi and Sangeet, follow these up with a party for your close friends and family. If you’re having a Christian wedding, combine your rehearsal dinner with a big party.

You want your pre-wedding party to be different from your reception. So what better way to do it than by throwing a themed party? Here are some ideas for pre-wedding party themes.

Beach Theme/Goan Theme

You can ask your guests to dress up as if they were going to the beach. Try to have your party in a place where there is a lot of sand or near a swimming pool. It’s time for everyone to break out their bikinis, sun hats, and flower garlands. You can also make the food you serve fit into the theme by serving seafood and Goan specialities.

pirate theme

With Pirates of the Caribbean being such a successful movie, choose to dress up as characters from it. Eye patches and hats are always easy to make.

bollywood theme
