Henna & mehndi nights

Henna and mehndi photo sharing that sends every guest their photos

At a henna night everyone is taking pictures: the outfits, the ceremony, the dancing. Momentli gathers them in one gallery and, the morning after, sends each registered guest the photos they're in.

  • One QR code on the tables, no app to install
  • Face recognition finds guests even in traditional dress
  • A personal photo link by SMS the morning after
  • Separate events for henna and wedding, one-time pricing

The most photographed night of the wedding week

Colorful outfits, henna trays, music and dancing until late. Whether you call it a henna, a hina or a mehndi night, every guest has a phone out, and the result is hundreds of beautiful photos scattered across aunts’, cousins’ and friends’ phones. Most never reach you, and guests rarely see the photos others took of them.

Momentli collects every henna night photo in one gallery, and face recognition sends each guest the photos they appear in.

How it works

  1. Create an event at app.momentli.co.il with Google: name, date and an optional cover image. You get a QR code and a link.
  2. Invite the organizers. If a parent or future in-law is running the henna, invite them by email as editors.
  3. Print QR signs (AI-designed or your own) and put them on tables and at the entrance.
  4. Guests scan and land in the browser. Those who want their photos enter name, phone and a selfie; others can skip.
  5. Guests upload up to 20 photos at a time, with automatic AI moderation on every image.
  6. The morning after (around 07:00 Israel time), face recognition runs across all photos and each registered guest gets an SMS with a personal “photos of me” link.

Henna and wedding: two events, two galleries

The henna usually takes place a few days before the wedding. Create a separate Momentli event for each: every event gets its own gallery, texts go out the morning after each one, and the photos stay organized. Many families pick a smaller plan for the more intimate henna and a bigger one for the wedding. Here’s how it works at the wedding.

Good to know

  • Photos only, no video for now.
  • The gallery is shared with anyone who has the link. “Find me” filters to each guest’s matched photos.
  • Texts arrive the morning after, not during the evening.
  • Hebrew interface. The guest app is currently in Hebrew; English is coming soon.
  • Automatic deletion of photos and face data at the end of the storage period.

Tips for a well-photographed henna

  • Put a QR sign by the outfits and the henna tray. Those are the moments everyone shoots.
  • Ask the band or MC to mention the code after the couple’s entrance.
  • Share the link in the family group chat afterwards, since uploads stay open until 06:00 the next morning.

Who it’s for

  • Brides, grooms and families who want every moment from the henna, not just what landed in a group chat
  • Big families where every aunt has 200 photos on her phone
  • Hosts who need something simple enough for older guests, with nothing to install

Guests can delete their own uploads at any time, and every upload is checked by automatic moderation before it reaches the gallery.

How it works

  1. 01

    Print your QR code

    Create an event and get a QR code plus a ready-made sign. Place it on tables, at the entrance and by the photo booth.

  2. 02

    Guests scan & upload

    No app, no sign-up. Each guest can leave a name, phone number and a selfie — then upload photos all night long.

  3. 03

    Face recognition finds everyone

    After the event, Momentli detects the faces in every photo and matches each guest to the photos they appear in.

  4. 04

    Next morning: everyone gets theirs

    Each guest receives a text with a personal link to their photos. You get every photo from the event — and download it all as a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

Can we use one plan for the henna and the wedding?

Each plan covers one event. If your henna and wedding are on different dates, create two events so each gets its own gallery and its own morning-after texts.

Does face recognition work with jewelry and traditional outfits?

Matching is based on facial features, so outfits, head coverings and jewelry usually don't prevent a match when the face is visible. As with any system, photos where the face is hidden or blurred may not be matched.

Will older relatives manage?

Yes. They scan the code with the phone camera and the page opens in the browser. No app, no password, and the selfie step is optional.

Can guests upload videos of the ceremony?

Not yet. Momentli currently supports photos only.

When do guests receive their photos?

Uploads stay open until 06:00 the morning after. Around 07:00 Israel time, every registered guest gets a text with a link to their photos.

Your wedding will be photographed from 300 angles. Make sure every photo reaches you.
