Festivities are buzzing everywhere you look. People are all about that autumn glow, hauling home enough boxes of sweets and dry fruit to last forever and brushing up on their rummy. Every store you pass seems to be loaded with eco-friendly tea lights and quirky card decks. And let’s not forget all those invites piling up for the week ahead.

There’s no set formula for a Diwali party, but there are plenty of small touches that can make it one to remember.

Set the dress code for a festive vibe

No Diwali party feels complete without a dress code, and what’s that dress code, you ask? It’s all about the glitz and glamour, since that’s what the festival celebrates! After all, how can guests shine if the host isn’t the best dressed? An ivory gara embroidered anarkali set by Tarun Tahiliani would be a perfect choice for any fabulous host.

Hire a mixologist or become one!

Great food deserves equally great drinks. To kick off the party, you can either hire a mixologist or channel your inner bartender. It’s a fun way to get everyone involved and create a lively atmosphere. And what better way to serve up those drinks than with a Ralph Lauren Parker Mix Box Gift Set? There’s nothing quite like shaking up those cocktails to make the experience even more enjoyable.

Bring on your tablescape game

A great party starts with the right setup, and the tablescape is key. Picture a white linen draping across the table, setting the perfect backdrop. For dinnerware, the Louis Vuitton By The Pool collection is a good choice. Its vibrant orange hue adds a festive touch that fits well with the Diwali spirit. It’s not just about the food, it’s about creating a warm and inviting atmosphere where guests can enjoy every moment together.

Party playlist

To keep the energy up, good music is essential, and a touch of nostalgia can really set the mood. Imagine a manual belt-drive turntable set up in one corner, surrounded by a collection of vinyl records from The Revolver Club. This setup will surely become the favorite hangout spot for your guests, sparking conversations and bringing back memories. With the warm crackle of vinyl filling the air, everyone will be transported to a different time.

Set up a Guestbook

A party should wrap up just as beautifully as it begins. To capture the memories of all the guests who came to celebrate, consider placing a guest book by the front door for everyone to sign in. A customised guest book from Lucrin Geneva would be a nice touch. While the night may come to an end, having everyone jot down their thoughts and well wishes ensures that those cherished moments won’t fade away.
