Consider these Diwali decoration ideas\u00a0for the upcoming festivities and check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/party-planning\">party planning checklist<\/a>\u00a0so you don&#8217;t miss a beat.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lights, Lights, Lights:<\/strong>\u00a0Diwali is the festival of lights, so this is arguably the most important part of your party decor. While real candles and diyas\u00a0create beautiful warmth, there&#8217;s nothing wrong with using LED votives and tealights if you&#8217;re concerned about fire safety. Decorate with colorful paper lanterns and strands of twinkling lights, both indoors and outdoors, to enhance the overall ambiance. You&#8217;ll also want to have sparklers\u00a0for everyone to light at some point during the celebration (outdoors, of course!).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Floral Flourishes:<\/strong>\u00a0The traditional flower of Diwali is marigolds, so brighten up your space with loads of these vibrant blooms in orange and yellow. Decorate your tablescape, mantle, and other areas with fresh marigold\u00a0flowers, and use silk versions for marigold\u00a0garland that you can drape over door frames, bookshelves, banisters, mirrors, and tables.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rangoli<\/strong><strong>\u00a0Displays:<\/strong>\u00a0Even if you&#8217;re not planning to make an authentic rangoli\u00a0pattern with colorful powdered rice or flour on your floor, you can find decorative rangoli\u00a0designs to place around your home or event space. Look for rangoli\u00a0wall and floor stickers with beautifully detailed acrylic beading.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"h.ithcxwpthme4\"><strong>Food, Party Themes, and Activities for Diwali <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7535\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/AdobeStock_173362631.jpeg\" alt=\"Diwali party ideas for food: a bowl of thalis on a table\" width=\"875\" height=\"584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/AdobeStock_173362631.jpeg 1600w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/AdobeStock_173362631-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/AdobeStock_173362631-850x567.jpeg 850w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/AdobeStock_173362631-768x513.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/AdobeStock_173362631-1536x1025.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here are some crowd-pleasing ideas for your Diwali celebration,\u00a0including food, drinks, party themes, and fun activities that are sure to keep the party going.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h.1r4tmuiq7rvy\"><strong>Food and Drink Ideas<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Buffet Station: <\/strong>Depending on your budget and how many people are on your guest list, a sit-down dinner might not be the most practical option. Instead, set the table with thalis of appetizers\u00a0like <a href=\"https:\/\/givemesomespice.com\/2010\/08\/chakri-or-chakli-or-spiral-shaped-crispy-indian-rice-snacks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">charkis<\/a>, kebabs, samosas, pakoras, and other easy-to-grab finger foods. For a more affordable option, ask guests to bring a dish for an Indian-food potluck.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bar or Cocktail Cart:<\/strong>\u00a0Be sure to get all the necessary ingredients for crafting delicious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.in\/2016\/10\/26\/12-spectacular-indian-cocktails-to-warm-the-cockles-of-your-hear_a_21591978\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Indian<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.in\/2016\/10\/26\/12-spectacular-indian-cocktails-to-warm-the-cockles-of-your-hear_a_21591978\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a0cocktails<\/a>\u00a0(and mocktails). If you don&#8217;t have a designated bartender on hand, write a few recipes on mini chalkboard easels (or print and frame the recipes), and let your guests take a crack at DIY mixology.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"h.1w23r8wrozds\"><strong>Party Themes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bollywood<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>\u00a0For this tried-and-true Diwali party idea, encourage guests to wear saris, sherwanis, or other traditional Indian\u00a0garb. Play Bollywood\u00a0music from movies past and present, and have a Bollywood party\u00a0dance-off!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Casino Night:<\/strong>\u00a0Since no Diwali celebration\u00a0is complete without card games\u00a0like <a href=\"https:\/\/teenpatti.octro.com\/learn-teen-patti\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">teen patti<\/a>, rummy, and blackjack, go all in and create a casino party theme. Set up a card table or two, use playing chips, and offer small prizes for the night&#8217;s winners.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Silver and Gold: <\/strong>For a truly sparkling celebration, mix in metallics along with your colorful Diwali decor. Ask guests to don their choicest silver and gold-accented ensembles, and you&#8217;re sure to have a party where the sparklers\u00a0aren&#8217;t the only things that twinkle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Elephant Parade: <\/strong>Celebrate the pageantry and purpose of Diwali with an elephant party theme. These magnificent creatures are a powerful symbol of wisdom (not to mention the physical embodiment of the Hindu\u00a0god Ganesh), so pay homage with ornate elephant wall hangings, candle holders, coasters, and party favors. You can also set up an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/682744769\/traditional-indian-wedding-elephant?ref=pla_similar_listing_top-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">elephant photo booth backdrop<\/a>\u00a0for the ultimate thematic touch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"h.4hwa1eivjdm\"><strong>Activities<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mehendi<\/strong><strong>\u00a0Station:<\/strong>\u00a0Also spelled mehndi, this form of body art is most popular in traditional Indian weddings, but it&#8217;s not uncommon during Diwali. Hire a mehndi artist for your party, or for an ultra-affordable option, buy temporary henna tattoos on Etsy, Amazon, and other online outlets.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Party Games<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>\u00a0Even if you&#8217;re not having a casino theme party, teen patti\u00a0is a must-have card game\u00a0during Diwali celebrations. Musical chairs and tambola are also favorites. For another fun party game\u00a0idea, try a simple yet entertaining session of the Ganesh Name Game. Set a one-minute timer and have participants write down the different names of Ganesh (there are a lot!). The person with the most correct answers wins.<\/li>\n<li><strong>DIY <\/strong><strong>Rangoli<\/strong>: Get crafty with this kid-friendly activity that doesn&#8217;t require much in the way of materials. Simply print off rangoli\u00a0clip art or pull pages from a coloring book and then decorate with markers, self-adhesive rhinestones, and even flower petals. (You can pull some from your decorations.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"h.vnwmh7wk0spu\"><strong>Gift Ideas for Diwali <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7534\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/AdobeStock_167122847.jpeg\" alt=\"Diwali party ideas: A group of guests in traditional saris, hold sparklers\" width=\"875\" height=\"581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/AdobeStock_167122847.jpeg 1600w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/AdobeStock_167122847-300x199.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/AdobeStock_167122847-850x565.jpeg 850w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/AdobeStock_167122847-768x510.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/AdobeStock_167122847-1536x1020.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As with most holidays, exchanging gifts with loved ones\u00a0is a big part of the Diwali celebration.
