A fixed budget

Unless you are hosting just three people, budgeting your party is the most crucial start.

An estimate of the logistics and food can give you an idea of how much you can concentrate on other miscellaneous such as decor and drinks.

A unique party theme

While Diwali is all about the traditional diyas and candles and confetti, you can jazz up your place for the big night based on a theme.

From the popular Bollywood theme to a ghazal night to even a jazz night, the options can be endless and based on your own preferences.

The perfect platter

Food is the soul of any Indian party. From traditional samosas and jalebis to assorted hors d'oeuvres, you can get as fancy as possible when it comes to a Diwali menu.

Ideally, if you have a three-course meal for your guests you can rest easy that nobody will go home hungry.

All fun and games

Most North Indian homes celebrate Diwali a few days before the big day by hosting card parties.

But you do not have to go that route. However, if you have called over several people, some of whom may be getting to know each other for the first time, it's best to help them break the ice with some fun games.

Some music and dance masti

If there is one thing we have all learnt, it is perhaps to dance at the beat of a song. From old remixes to new dance numbers, entertain your guests with your enviable musical list.

You can also make some room and allow your guests to shake a leg, if they are up for it.

With these points checked, you can most certainly pull off a fun Diwali bash. So start your planning now!

Here's wishing all our readers a very happy Diwali.
