A Feast to Remember - The Diwali Menu
Curating a Traditional Feast
Food is the heart of any Diwali party. A great menu includes celebratory Indian standbys as samosas and jalebis, but also crowd-pleasers, such as biryani and paneer butter masala. And don’t forget to include options for your guests that are gluten-free and allergy-friendly!
🎉How The PartyPlatform Helps: The PartyPlatform simplifies finding top-notch caterers specializing in Indian delicacies. Watch video reels of caterers’ spreads to choose the perfect menu. Instant WhatsApp quotes mean quick and budget-friendly decisions.
DIY Snack Corners & Sweets

🎉How The PartyPlatform Helps: Easily locate dessert professionals and sweet box suppliers offering custom party treats through our app.
Entertainment That Lights Up the Night
Traditional Rituals & Activities
Without the lighting of diyas, pujas or asking for blessings in your home, it's just not Diwali. For an extra fun touch, you could have family-friendly rangoli or diya-painting contest for the kids.
🎉How The PartyPlatform Helps: Hire talented rangoli artists or activity organizers to keep the festive spirit alive. The PartyPlatform connects you with service providers who can deliver these unique experiences.
Music, Dance & Cards
Bollywood beats? Non-negotiable. They’ll get the dance floor buzzing in no time. But don’t stop there.
Create a dedicated space for classic card games like Teen Patti. It’s a great way to bring in some tradition — and a little friendly competition. The result?
A balanced blend of music and nostalgic fun that keeps every generation — young and young at heart — fully engaged.
