By this, the number of guests may reduce. And the whish is most probably an apartment won't be messy newly weed's house. In some families Because the newly weed's house is small and house clean instead of holding the party in their own house, the party may take place in groom's or bride's house -Ceremony with out the groom Because putakhty is a female ceremony it's not a custom for the groom to be present at this party. Usually when relatives come to newly weed's house and want to take the bride to the hair dresser its time for the groom to leave the house and his father's house and not return until the ceremony is finished. Fortunately patakhti is an evening event, and it dose not take long. So groom is not away from his bride for a long time. It only takes few hours and then he can return. It's better to call the groom when the last guest is a bout to leave. So he can come back at a right time. -Evening ceremony Patakhti will start at S in the evening and it will end around 8 pm.
