Micropore Paper Tape!
I swear by it! Really! You don't have to lemon/sugar, never any
smudges and the paste stays perfectly in place. The girls can continue
their evening with very little interference and even sleep with the
tape in place. Tomorrow they will unwrap and be surprised, think
christmas or easter eggs, they don't know what's under neath and it's
always exciting to unwrap. With the tape there is never any
bleeding,dislodging or smearing. It is THE answer for me.
Once the initial application dries, 20 minutes or so, with limited
time sometimes I'll pull out a blow dryer and ask the girls to dry it
for a few minutes. This adds a boost of heat, they focus on what it is
for a few minutes and speeds along the drying time greatly lowering
the chance for smears.
Once it is dried to the touch bandage it up. The tape is fabulous for
feet, ankles, legs, hands, wrists and lower arms. It doesn't seem to
work to well for backs and shoulders and upper arms.

Do you have flyers with instructions, a brief history/definition AND
your CONTACT info.? If not, make them up immediately. You don't need
to worry about business cards this way, everyone walks out with your
number and clear instructions of what to do with the henna paste. They
aren't trying to remember the 12 steps of henna and can enjoy
watching you work knowing they have instructions to refer to later.

And, someone mentioned this allready, look through your patterns. I'd
remove the really time consuming designs. Inevitably someone will want
the entire bridal do and just won't take no for an answer.You end up
looking kind of mean and they are unhappy. It's better to limit
choices somewhat at an event like this I've found.

But, whether you walk in super prepared or with just a cone of henna
it will be fun and surprising. I'm doing a baby shower tomorrow night
so I am going through many of the preparation concerns you are right
now as well.

Tell us a story when you get back!
