How to Plan the Perfect Diwali Cards Party

Pay Attention to the Food and Drinks

As in any other party your organize, what you serve to your guests is an important part of planning your Diwali cards party as well. Make sure you plan your menu ahead of the party and organize accordingly. You could either prepare the snacks at home or hire a caterer, depending on the gathering. Make sure you include festive food in the menu. Kheer, gulab jamun, pakodas, chaat, dahi bhalla are all festive treats that you can include in the menu. Also make sure to include some fun mocktails and cocktails and have enough variety to cater to different preferences. If you are planning a budget-friendly party, a great idea is also to do a potluck. Each friend can get a dish and you can prepare the essentials like rice, rotis, drinks etc. to divide the burden.

Give Your Home a Festive Makeover

Any Diwali cards party is essentially incomplete without some festive décor. As you know, a big part of Diwali celebrations is cleaning and decorating our homes. To get all your guests into a festive mood, make sure you deck up your humble abode. If you’re planning a big scale party, you can call a decorating company to do the job. However, you can easily DIY the décor yourself, too. You can use fresh flowers, diyas, candles and other decorative items and either wing it as you go or plan a proper theme. You can even make a rangoli, but make sure you place it in a certain way to avoid having guests walk over it accidentally.

Make Sure you Arrange Enough Comfortable Seating

It’s a cards party. So obviously the general rule of having only a few seats doesn’t apply. You need proper comfortable seating options for your guests so they can sit for hours to play cards and other games. You can either have chairs and tables rented out or sofas or even soft mattresses. The point is to have enough seats so no one has to stand and play or go around looking for chairs. While there will be mingling and dancing too, the main focus is to play cards. So don’t forget that having comfortable sitting is absolutely essential. You can even keep blankets and cushions to make your home feel cozier and more comfortable. Trust us, the more comfortable your guests feel, the more fun they’ll have at your party. And it’ll definitely be a super hit!

Plan Some fun Games and Activities

Now let’s address something very important. Even though it’s a cards party, there are always some guests who don’t know how to or don’t really enjoy playing cards. So make sure you have something to keep everyone entertained. Gossip and warm exchanges can only last for a while. You can plan games like dumb charades, UNO, Pictionary, sequence and many others. Depending on what your friends and family like, you can plan festive activities, too. The point is to make sure everyone is having a great time. A little planning before the party begins will help you arrange things and have everything organized.

Set the Mood Right With a fun Diwali Playlist

Is it even a party if there’s no music? Whether you like the volume high or low, having some music to play in the background is absolutely essential. While everyone will be busy catching up and playing games, a good playlist in the background never goes unnoticed. It’ll definitely leave a good impression and it will show that you’ve put in extra effort. And you never know when a party turns into a dance party and everyone suddenly wants to start grooving. So be prepared and plan a playlist ahead of the party so you can download all the songs and have it handy. You can even put a friend in charge of the playlist if you have too much on your plate.

Send out Creative, Festive Invites

Now, this part is definitely optional. But if you want to put in that X factor and really woo all your guests, a great idea is to prepare festive invites. You can again either outsource the job or easily do it yourself at home. Of course, gone are the days when we had to send physical invites. Nowadays you only need digital invites. So get on your editing apps and choose a festive template to prepare an invitation for all your guests. Make sure the invite has your correct and full address, contact details and party timings. Keep everything short and simple and the fonts easy to read. If you want a theme or if there are outfit specifications, do mention those on the card as well. And make sure you send these out well in advance so you can get RSVPs as soon as possible.

See off Your Guests with Festive Party Favors

What’s a Diwali cards party without some gifts, right? And since Diwali is all about exchanging gifts with your loved ones, it’s a great idea to have some festive gifts for your guests. Seeing off your guests with a gift is always a lovely gesture and end a party on a memorable note. You can either customize each gift as per each guests or have a something common ordered in bulk. Candles, chocolates, sweets, diyas are all festive items that you can include in the gift. To add that extra glam factor, you can do a creative packaging of the gift. Something festive or maybe even eco friendly, depending on your theme and choices. Make sure you choose gifts that can be useful for everyone instead of just mindlessly picking something up.
