Diwali Printables

Each printable kit includes ready-to-print PDF files formatted for standard 8.5x11 inch paper. Simply open the file and print as many copies as you need.

Standard copy paper works great for game sheets and bingo cards. For awards, photo booth props, or cupcake toppers, we recommend cardstock for extra durability.

A traditional Diwali party centers on light, food, and community. Welcome guests by lighting clay diyas and admiring colorful entrance rangoli designs. Keep everyone entertained with classic card games like teen patti, upbeat Bollywood music, and a shared feast featuring savory snacks and sweets.

Serve a vegetarian buffet with savory appetizers like samosas and pakoras, paired with main dishes such as paneer tikka and chana masala. Plan for 3 to 4 appetizers per guest before dinner. Offer traditional sweets like gulab jamun or kaju katli alongside spiced chai, mango lassi, and mocktails.

Set up a diya-painting station and a rangoli contest using colored rice or flower petals for all ages. Adults traditionally play friendly card games such as teen patti, rummy, or poker later in the evening. Run a round of Diwali trivia or Bollywood musical chairs to get younger guests moving.

String warm white fairy lights across windows and drape yellow and orange marigold garlands over doorways. Place battery-operated tea lights inside small terracotta diyas along walkways and tables for a warm glow without fire risk. Set up a quick floral rangoli at your front door using loose petals.

Organize a Diwali potluck where you supply the basmati rice and drinks while guests each bring a regional curry or box of mithai sweets. Make affordable floor rangoli using white flour and dry rice tinted with kitchen food coloring. Swap fresh marigold strands for reusable paper or fabric garlands.
