Reveal A Couple Portrait With Gendaphool Painting
A cute twist to the classic portrait reveal! Let the guests dip fluffy marigolds into yellow haldi paint and dab away on a giant covered canvas. As the genda blooms leave their prints, the couple’s portrait slowly appears like magic. It’s colourful, interactive and SO haldi-coded!
Haldi Art Wall
Forget boring guestbooks and say hello to the Haldi Art Wall! Put up a giant white canvas and let your guests dip their hands in haldi paste to leave handprints, doodles, signatures or fun messages. By the end, you have a bright, emotional, happy-as-sunshine artwork the couple can keep forever.
Marigold Beer Pong
Replace the cups with marigold-filled bowls and ping pong balls wrapped in yellow foil. Fun, silly, and completely Haldi-theme approved.
