Family Day events ask a lot of campus event coordinators. You need something that appeals to eight-year-old siblings and grandparents in the same afternoon, something that photographs well for the college’s social media, and something that doesn’t require a huge footprint or complicated setup.
The Henna Experience checks every one of those boxes.
An activity that works for the whole family
One of the biggest challenges of Family Day programming is finding activities with real cross-generational appeal. Henna solves this naturally. Older kids and adults love sitting down for an intricate, temporary henna design on their hand or arm: a piece of body art they get to wear home as a souvenir of the day. For younger children who aren’t quite ready for henna (henna is for ages 8 and up), we bring glitter tattoos along too, so nobody gets left out. Everyone in the family, no matter their age, walks away with something to show off.
Live henna art that draws a crowd
Henna is inherently visual. Watching an artist freehand an intricate design is the kind of thing that naturally draws people over, and it keeps a steady flow of visitors at your event without needing an announcer or a big sign. It’s the kind of activity guests end up talking about after the day is over, and the kind that shows up in the photos parents share on social media, tagging the school.
A story guests tell again and again
Two comments come up more than almost any other at these events. The first is from guests trying henna for the first time: they’ve always wanted to get henna done but never had the chance, so sitting down at the booth becomes a small bucket list checkoff, something new and a little exciting to try.
The second comes from guests who remember getting henna on family vacations, maybe on a beach trip or while traveling abroad, and getting a design again brings back that same sense of nostalgia, right there on your campus.
Between the first-timers and the ones reliving a favorite memory, The Henna Experience has a way of making your Family Day feel personal for every guest who stops by.
Backed by real experience
The Henna Experience has been practicing and perfecting this craft since 1999. That means campus coordinators aren’t taking a chance on an unknown vendor. They’re booking from a team of artists who has spent decades refining technique, working events of all sizes, and understanding what makes a booth run smoothly at a busy family event: efficient lines, eye catching setup, and personalized designs that create memories.
