Host Diwali at yours.
A diya lit invite on WhatsApp, RSVPs without sign ups, a menu that suits every guest, a scaled shopping list, and guests chipping in by UPI, PayPal or bank. Wherever you are celebrating. Free.
An invite worth opening
Diyas, marigold colours and your words. Share it as a WhatsApp link, a story or a post. Each guest gets a personal link and answers in seconds.
A menu everyone can eat
Tell Bloom who is coming. The Jain aunt, the vegan cousin, the friend with a nut allergy: the menu suggestions suit them all, and guests can claim a dish to bring.
Shopping, scaled
One list for every dish you are making, scaled to the number of guests, so you buy enough khoa and not three kilos too much.
Splitting the cost
If friends are chipping in, they pay you directly by UPI, PayPal, bank transfer or cash, and you can see who has paid. Bloom never holds the money.
Mithai
Make ladoos and katli two days ahead; they keep.
Snacks for the card table
Fry once, serve all evening.
The dinner
One rich gravy, one dal, one rice, and bread.
A twist for the table
For the cousin who brings dessert from a bakery.
