The Musical Theme- The New Year is all about the sounds of laughter and glee that the joy of togetherness brings. Incorporate this theme into your next party by making it all about the sounds and music of the festival. Order all the Indian classics and if you have talented budding musicians at home, give them all the liberty to plan out the musical itinerary of the night that has to match the theme. Make it like a concert at home, make a makeshift stage, don your most glamorous saree or kurta, and jam to your favorite songs. Make a fun competition by playing the guess the song, or the singer game, and give everyone in the family a chance to let their inner singer live on the stage. We love these lights that will add some serious charm to your stage! To add to the music theme, check out these decorations!
The Backyard Party- An outdoor summer party is a fun idea especially if you have kids at home. It is also a great backyard party idea on a budget since it will include just the closest and your most favorite people. Start off your decor by lighting up the patio, or using some string lights to spruce up the patio furniture. For food, make sure you have a lot of finger food and snacks ready to go, and it will be cheaper to buy it in bulk. Be ready with a shade if it starts raining and keep the kids engaged with fun activities like letting them play with eco-friendly crackers under the parental guidance of course, or keep them busy in a fun art project which is New Year themed like finger painting or what the New Year represents to them!
The DIY Ugai Rangoli Party- What’s a Ugadi party without the rangoli? Take this opportunity to let your inner artist shine. Get rangoli supplies at home, and create a competition where the entire fam competes to create the biggest and the most eloquent rangolis. Team up and collaborate with the family members to create your own personal masterpiece at home. Since everyone will be busy creating these rangolis, make sure you have enough snack foods and drinks for refreshments to keep the spirit alive! We love these DIY Rangoli kits for your children!
Decorate Your Own Diya- New Year means welcoming the new light to your life. Bring some light and let the children bring in the iridescent illumination of tiny diyas dotted around the house. Make it a fun activity by including everyone in the fam, even the kids. The joy of having made your diya and decorating it all over the house will be unparalleled.

A Floral Themed New Year Party- The pastel shades of fresh flowers from the market, the ephemeral charm of marigolds that is a staple fixture during any kind of festivity, the allure of jasmine, or the understated elegance of lilies, flowers have the ability to light up any household. Plan your New Year by adding some gorgeous flowers all over your living space that matches the color scheme of your house. We recommend light shades of lily and jasmine if you have a monochrome setting at your place, or a bright flush of marigold if your party is during the day.
