Diwali falls on Sunday, November 8 this year, with the wider festive period running from Friday the 6th through Tuesday the 10th. That puts us exactly four weeks out as of today — close enough that the planning window is real, not theoretical.
Week 1 (now): lock venue, decor and catering
If you haven't confirmed your venue and core vendors yet, this is the week. Diya and string-light setups, rangoli installations and festive backdrops are already in high demand for the first week of November specifically — confirm decor rentals alongside your venue, not after.
Week 2: finalise the festive menu
Festive menus lean on specific sweets and regional dishes that need advance sourcing. Lock the menu this week so your caterer has proper lead time, rather than asking for last-minute substitutions the week of.
Week 3: confirm guest logistics
Traffic and parking around popular NCR venues get noticeably worse during the festive window. Confirm parking or valet arrangements explicitly with your venue this week, and prepare a clear guest-arrival message for the following week.
Week 4 (the week of): send logistics, not just invites
In the final week, send guests a specific arrival window and parking instructions — not just a start time.
Also planning a birthday party or wedding around this time?
Diwali season overlaps directly with the start of NCR wedding season and a lot of milestone birthdays families plan for the cooler months ahead. If either is on your mind, message us alongside your Diwali plans — one conversation with our team can cover both.
Four weeks sounds tight until you break it into four actual weeks of tasks. Most Diwali-season stress comes from skipping that step, not from the timeline itself.
