A haldi, mehendi and sangeet album, made from the photos on your phone

It suits a bride, a sister or a cousin making it the same week, long before the main album arrives. You see a full preview before anything is printed, and you can swap any photo or caption with a tap.

Print it only if you love it.

1. Cover

   A title built from the bride's or couple's names, the function and the city, for example Riya's Mehendi Night: Delhi, 14 November 2025. You can keep it, ask for another or write your own.

2. First page

   A short dedication from whoever made the book: the couple, a sibling, a cousin or the parents. Write your own line or choose one of three suggestions.

3. The haldi

   Getting ready, the turmeric paste, family members taking turns and the yellow, laughing aftermath. Some families call it maiyan, pithi or gaye holud, and the customs vary by family, region and community, so the captions use the words your family uses.

4. The mehendi

   Close-ups of the designs on hands and feet, the dholki songs, friends waiting for their turn and, in families that do it, the hunt for the partner's name hidden in the design. Similar shots are grouped so the best one gets the page.

5. The sangeet

6. The people who made it

   A spread for up to five people you named, such as Chhoti Bua, Kabir bhaiya or Nani. Star a photo or two of each one, and the preview tells you if anyone still has no photo, so you can add one.

7. The moment everyone still talks about

8. Closing page and glossary

   A closing note and, if you want it, a short page explaining haldi, mehendi and sangeet for friends and relatives who did not grow up with them.

1. Whose wedding is this? Bride's name and groom's name.
2. Which functions should the book cover: haldi, mehendi, sangeet, or more than one?
3. Which songs were performed at the sangeet, and who danced? Titles and names only.
4. What's one funny or unforgettable moment from the function? Optional.
5. Who made the function special? Name up to 5 people you'd hate to see missing.
6. Which community or region's customs should the captions follow?
7. Who is this book from, and what should the first page say? Write a line or pick one of 3 suggestions.
8. Captions in English, Hindi or Hinglish?
