How to plan a Diwali Party with 3 simple steps
Diwali the Festival of Lights is upon us and we know you’re just as excited as we are. If you have never heard of Diwali, click to find a little background information to answer the question what is Diwali.
If you haven’t already, now is the time to plan a Diwali Party. And you’re in luck. We at New York Mithai are very aware of how difficult the party planning process can be, so we have taken the liberty of breaking it all down into 3 very simple steps. It is literally is as easy as 1 – 2 – 3 done!
Step 1: Choose a Theme or Colors for your Décor
The possibilities are endless when it comes to choosing a theme for your Diwali party. A garden party, or a casino party, or even a Bollywood themed party would be exciting. Get creative and choose something unique and fun. Use lots of lights, lamps, and candles to really get into the holiday spirit. Remember Diwali is a “festival of lights.” Click to find Diwali party decorations and props for virtually any theme you choose.
Step 2: What’s on the Menu?
This is probably the single most important question you must ask yourself. You cannot have a celebration without good eats and great drinks. You could offer a vast selection of appetizers like Kabobs and Pakoras, a hearty dinner buffet complete with Rice Pulao, Paneer, and Poor, or both. Be sure to also include a selection of drinks and cocktail recipes as these can be the difference between a party flip and a party flop.
Last but certainly not least, you cannot celebrate Diwali in the USA without mithai. Stock up on a few of your favorite treats for your guests to enjoy. Try our all organic Assorted Ladoos which you can now purchase at 10% OFF during our 2015 Diwali Holiday Sale.
Step 3: Entertainment and Crackers
Now that we’ve started the party, it’s time to keep it going. Start by playing some awesome music with this year’s most popular tunes or you could kick it old school with a few golden oldies. Just remember to keep the music going and get your guests on the dance floor.
Games are another great way to keep your guests entertained. Card games are in order for a Diwali Party. Organize a few card tables for games like Indian Rummy, Teen Pathi, Blackjack, or even Go Fish for novice players.
Diwali is traditionally called the brightest holiday in India. Lights adorn the cities and shine bright into the night. You should end your party with a traditional bang (if law permits); light the sky with fireworks and crackers.
