What's the theme for your Karva Chauth party?



A long day of fasting for your husband, that ends with worshiping the moon and then your husband is Karva Chauth.Observed by most women from north India, Karva Chauth has got a fun makeover over the years. It's no more a typical day of fast with kirtans and prayers, but a great deal of fun for women. Henna sittings and dolling up is just a part, Karva Chauth parties have a lot more than just being a `pativrata'.

Of course, we all have heard of theme parties; however Karva Chauth parties are far more interesting. Here are five interesting Karva Chauth parties popular this year. 

 

`ME' TIME PARTY

For most women these days, Karva Chauth and such occasions are an ideal time to spend some quality time with their girlfriends. On this day, when they are fasting for their husbands, women wish to have some fun, pampering themselves to divert their mind from feeling hungry . Hence, metime parties are organised by a certain member at her house, where all the women undergo spa and beauty treatments throughout the day . They also have small-time women entrepre neurs come over to sell clothing, accessories, etc. So, women don't just pamper their bodies but their minds as well, as it's better than indulging in retail therapy with the gal pals where they shell out a load of cash. 

 

KARVA CHAUTH KITTY

Most kitty groups who meet once a month for their kitty, have Karva Chauth as the apt occasion for their next kitty . However, this kitty doesn't have any food or drinks; women simply come dressed to the `T' and declare the kitty, followed by usual games like dumb charade and housie. However, what's special is that the one who wins the Karva Chauth Kitty is entitled to a special gift (that no other kitty throughout the year has). It contains a lot of things like a gift voucher, a food voucher and some beauty products as well. In fact, the cost of the Karva Chauth Kitty is slightly more than the normal one, so woman has her eye on the prize. 

 

POTLUCK KARVA CHAUTH

Here, women collect each other's baya -the sari sent by the mother for the occasion -and prepare one special Karva Chauth recipe and bring it to the table. The women do not know what their moth do not know what their mothers have sent for them until the party, which is very exciting. They also bring in delicacies like dum aloo, badam puri, mathri, chole, dal makhni, ras pua, etc. and then eat it together after getting a glimpse of the moon on this day.

 

BOLLYWOOD BRIDE PARTY

This is one of the most interesting Karva Chauth parties as women come dressed exactly like their favourite Bollywood bride. The favourite look is still that of Kajol from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Many women this year are planning on the look of Deepika Padukone from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani or Alia Bhatt's Radha from Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania. 

 

DAUGHTERDAUGHTER-IN-LAW SHOW OFF PARTY
