Q + A

What is the Henna party for?

Mehndi, otherwise known as henna, is a paste associated with positive spirits and good luck. Indian Wedding tradition calls for a Mehndi ceremony to be held the night before the wedding as a way of wishing the bride good health and prosperity as she makes her journey on to marriage.

Do ALL the ladies invited to the Henna Party need to get Henna done?

No! Henna is optional, but so much fun and we would love for you to join in on the fun!

Can I get a small henna tattoo or small design done?

Yes! Go for it!

How long does henna take to dry?

At least 1.5 hours! Don't let this stop you from joining in the fun. You can get a small design done!

What is a Baraat?

A Baraat is a celebratory wedding procession for the groom involving live music and dancing. Everyone is welcome to take part in the Baraat, by dancing alongside the groom!

Do Phil and Pallavi have a registry?

While we do not have a registry, we welcome cash gifts and checks (made out to either Pallavi OR Phil), and we also have an online Honeymoon Fund posted on the "Gifts" tab of this website! Thank you!

How will I get to the Wedding Venue: Pen Ryn - River's Edge?

You may drive, Uber or Lyft. We are also offering shuttle buses for all of our guests staying in the Courtyard Marriott Bensalem or the Hampton Inn and Suites in Bensalem that will take them to the Wedding Venue and will also bring them back to the hotels after the Reception is over.

How should I get to the Rehearsal Dinner at The Buck Hotel?

We recommend driving (no drinking and driving!) , Uber or Lyft services. There are also some taxi/black car options: 1. Gondal Taxi (267) 499-3133 (we suggest calling in advance to see if they can manage your booking) 2. Central Bucks Limo (267)-544-1845 - This is a black car option that you must book in advance.

Are children allowed to come to the wedding or rehearsal dinner?

As much as we would have loved to have our guests little ones accompanying them, this is an adults only occasion due to limited seating.

Is there an After Party? Is the After Party Cash bar?

Yes there is and yes it is! The After Party will take place from 11:30pm - 1:30am at the Courtyard Marriott lobby bar. There is also an outdoor seating section located near the firepits that will be available for use during the After Party! There will also be a shuttle that goes back and forth from the Hampton Inn that will take you to the After Party and drop you back off throughout the duration of the After Party!

Gifting!

We kindly prefer no boxed gifts! We have a Honeymoon Fund that you can contribute to via our Knot site or please make checks payable to Pallavi Paunikar or Phil Lohmeyer! Thank you 🩷
