SHAADI BRIEF

Your bonus extras

Thank you for choosing Our Wedding Planner & Diary. Here are the starter playlists and the planner spreadsheet the QR codes in your diary point to.

Starter playlists

Six starting points, one for each part of the celebration. Every song opens a YouTube or Spotify search, so you can listen, choose your version and copy your favourites onto the Must-play page of your diary.

Mehndi

Warm, singalong and unhurried. Henna takes time, so start gentle, let the aunties lead a few folk songs, then lift the energy as the designs dry.

Jaggo

Punjabi energy for the procession and the dancing after. Leave room for live boliyan sung by the family over the dhol; the DJ should drop out when they start.
