Outfits:
Dress to impress this Holi with stylish and comfortable outfits that are perfect for the occasion. Opt for traditional Indian attire like kurtas and pastel suits for a classic look, or go bold with colorful dresses and accessories that reflect the spirit of the festival. Don’t forget to stock up on white clothes that you don’t mind getting stained – after all, what’s Holi without a little color?
Books: Dive into the Stories Behind the Festival
Educate and entertain your little ones with Holi-themed books that teach the story behind the festival. Reading together is a great way to bond as a family and pass on the traditions and values associated with Holi.
Games:
Keep the fun going with entertaining games and activities that will bring everyone together. Organize a friendly game of water balloon toss or set up a Holi-themed scavenger hunt for the kids. Play a twist on musical chairs where participants sit on colors instead of chairs when the music stops. For a more relaxed atmosphere, try playing traditional Holi songs and encourage guests to dance and sing along. Make sure you make safe choices 🙂
Holi Hosting
Here are some ideas to make your Holi party unforgettable:
The Gujiyas and Balushahis were store bought, but I made the Thandai cake at home. Here is the recipe I followed- Thandai Eggless Cake Recipe
Party Decor
- Colorful Drapes: Hang bright sarees or fabric around your party venue for a festive look.
- Flower Arrangements: Use marigolds and roses for their vibrant hues and beautiful fragrances.
- Rangoli Entrance: Create a welcoming entrance with a rangoli made from colored powders and flowers.
Dress Code
Encourage guests to wear white or pastel shades—perfect canvases for the colors they’ll be playing with.
Color Play
- Organic Colors: Choose eco-friendly, organic powders that are safe for the skin and the environment.
- Water Buckets & Pichkaris: Fill several buckets with colored water and provide pichkaris for a fun water fight.
- Tents and Shields: Set up small tents or shields for those who wish to play it safe and remain relatively color-free.
Respect people’s choice if they don’t want to engage in color/water play! Be safe.
Food and Drinks
- Traditional Sweets: Include classic Holi sweets such as gujiya, malpua, balushahi etc.
- Menu: Opt for easy-to-eat snacks like samosas, mathri, and fruit skewers for appetizers. Have filling options for main course such as Chole, Rice dishes, Rotis, Dahi Bada etc.
- Colorful Drinks: Serve colorful beverages like holi special Thandai, fruit punches, and colorful mocktails.
Music and Dance
Create a playlist featuring Bollywood Holi classics and encourage everyone to dance. Here is a playlist that you can use on Spotify-
Takeaway Gifts
Send your guests home with a memorable gift, like a small potli (pouch) filled with Holi treats and a thank-you note.
Safety First
Make sure to have a first-aid kit handy and areas where guests can clean off the colors. It’s all about having fun while ensuring everyone’s comfort and well-being.
Prepare for a day filled with laughter, music, and an explosion of colors as you host a Holi celebration that everyone will remember!
