Diwali 2024 is finally here! This year the 'Festival of Lights', celebrated to commemorate the victory of good over evil, will be celebrated on October 31. All year we wait for the auspicious festival to get together with our loved ones and enjoy the magical time of the year. Dressed in our ethnic best, Diwali is celebrated by offering prayers to Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha to attract wealth and prosperity into our homes. Diwali also acts as an excuse to throw a party and entertain guests. If you too are throwing a house party this year, take a look at these 5 ideas that will make your Deepawali celebration the most memorable one!
Diwali house party ideas for a memorable celebration
1) Theme-based festive decor
Festive decor is an absolute must! So hang some twinkling tea lights, bring home flowers, create rangoli and light diyas to give your home an inviting feel. If you are throwing a party, be a little sophisticated with your decor pick. For instance, select one type of flower and decorate your whole house using those only.
Since this year, Diwali and Halloween are coinciding, you can also go for some spooky decor items and welcome both festivals in this unique and rare crossover.
2) Card games
Now that you've gathered all your loved ones under one roof, the next responsibility as hosts is to entertain them. And what better way to entertain your friends and family than by following the Diwali tradition of playing card games? After all, no Diwali is complete without a few rounds of Teen Patti at any Indian household!

3) Antakshari and Dhol beats
While card games are a Diwali tradition, there is a limit to the amount of money one can lose before finally calling it quits! And what party is complete without dance and music? Take it up a notch with a fun and entertaining round of anatakshari and sing along to all the songs you grew up to! Also, line up a few Dhol mixes on your Spotify and you are good to DJ this bash by yourself!
4) Potluck fun
Food is as important as entertainment in making any party a success! While you can make all delicious delights yourself or even ordering in, but organising a potluck will add a wholesome touch to your evening and will give your guests a purpose too! This way you can have a huge variety of mouthwatering dishes at your table with each family member or friend bringing their best version of a dish!
5) Personalised gift hampers
Gift-giving is a Diwali ritual, whether you are throwing a party or not! So you absolutely have to end the night by giving a memorable token to guests to make the evening a memorable one. While you can hit the market and get a plain old box of sweets or dry fruit, spending a little extra time and curating a personalised hamper for each attendee based upon their tastes and preferences will make you their hero!
While you can incorporate these easy ideas into your house party plans, keep in mind that your guests are going to have an amazing time if you just give them your attention! After all, material things are secondary, it is the memories you are going to make with them that will last a lifetime!
