If you want the best from your team, they need breaks to blow off steam and return to work with renewed energy. Diwali, the festival of lights, is the perfect opportunity to inject some sparkle into office life. While traditional celebrations often include sweets and diyas, why not break the mould this year? Here are five unique Diwali office party ideas brought to you by Artbox Solutions:
1. Bollywood Themed Evening
Swap the usual attire for an evening of glamour and mystery at a Bollywood Masquerade Ball. Encourage employees to don their most dazzling Indian attire. Imagine a room filled with shimmering saris and glittering suits, all set to the beat of classic Bollywood hits. Add a photo booth with props and a dance floor for a night of high-energy fun.
2. DIY Rangoli Contest
Bring out everyone’s inner artist with a DIY Rangoli contest. Provide the materials—coloured powders, stencils, and plenty of space—and let teams unleash their creativity. Set up a gallery in a common area where everyone can vote for their favourite designs. It’s a fantastic way to foster teamwork, showcase artistic talents, and add a burst of colour to your office space. Plus, the resulting Rangoli designs will make for an eye-catching backdrop for the rest of your celebrations.
3. Virtual Diwali Light Show
Set up a virtual event where employees from different locations can participate in a synchronized Diwali light show. Ask everyone to decorate their homes with festive lights and join a live video stream to showcase their setups. Create a shared playlist of traditional Diwali music to accompany the event, and consider including a live countdown to a collective virtual light-up.
4. Cultural Potluck and Talent Show
Celebrate the rich tapestry of cultures within your office with a cultural potluck and talent show. Encourage everyone to bring dishes from their own heritage or a favorite recipe. As you enjoy the diverse spread, invite employees to showcase their unique talents, whether it’s singing, dancing, or performing a dramatic reading of Diwali-themed poetry.
5. Eco-Friendly Diwali
Embrace sustainability with an eco-friendly Diwali party. Focus on reducing waste by using biodegradable or reusable decorations, and opt for a menu featuring locally sourced, vegetarian options. Host workshops on making eco-friendly diyas or upcycling decorations, and encourage employees to bring in used items for a swap meet.
