It’s that time of the year to host the grandest of parties with friends and family and take on the role of a good host! To help you amidst the travail and bustle of the busy festive season, we're here to offer some voguish plans.

Fret not, people, a crazy fiesta is on the cards! Check out these cosmopolitan yet ethnic ideas that'll transform you into a great party host:

Who doesn’t love Bollywood? Let your guests know that you are a big cinema buff by throwing a theme party. Establish a dazzling dress code for the filmy inside you. To keep it more ethnic and tyohaar-like, ask your guests to keep up with the filmy vibes and attire.

Do you and your friends love cooking? Here’s an à la mode party idea for the culinary tourist inside you!

Ask your people to help make a saccharine dish at home to fulfill those mithai-cravings and have some fun while at it! Arrange the ingredients needed and get on to a fun cooking session.

Keep your glasses overflowing and your karaoke machine’s volume up. A karaoke will play a budget-friendly party idea and make your guests cock-a-hoop. Set up a karaoke machine and fill up your refrigerators with a plethora of drinks of your guests’ liking to keep the night going!

Hand-pick movies of your guests' choice and keep their favourite drinks and munchies ready for a fun movie night. Another pocket-friendly idea, movie nights are known to keep the friendly bonding going!

A garden barbeque can make your festival ambrosial. You can also keep a floral dress code to embellish the party and make it classier. Serve the nosh with delectable drinks and you're good!

Board games, along with Jenga, especially a deck of cards (a tradition during Diwali), is another way to host a cozy party at home. Snacks, drinks and some music in the background will, of course, only add to the enthusiasm.

Happy hosting!
