OK, I won't offer to henna other parts of the bride. I guess at this
point I'd like to be prepared if she asks me to do other parts. I
don't really know where or what to do. I saw that Catherine
Cartwright Jones had some patterns for breasts ... where else is
henna put? I can come up with some ideas, but I'd rather know ahead
of time what to expect if I am asked.

You mentioned that a bridal henna is a big job for someone just
starting out. I agree. But if she does want me for the party, what
am I to expect? I've never been to one and have only read about them
on the net the past few days. I know it would depend on the number
of women. But can you give me a typical scenerio? Please? Gulp.

Thank you!! :-)
