If you can choose your party date, choose November to February. The afternoons are golden, the lawns are green, and children can run around without wilting. It’s also why winter weekends book up first.
Plan around early sunsets
By mid-December the sun sets around 5.30 pm. An outdoor party from 1 to 4 gets the best light for photos. For an evening party, lighting becomes part of the décor: fairy lights, lanterns, a lit marquee or glowing signage. See our party lighting ideas.
Keep everyone warm
- Patio heaters or bonfire-style heaters, safely fenced from children
- Blankets on lounge seating
- Hot chocolate, soup shots or a live chai counter
- A covered area in case of a sudden drizzle
Fog and pollution days
Some winter days bring heavy fog or poor air quality. Have a plan B: a covered marquee, an indoor hall at the same venue, or a home set-up. We always discuss this with families booking outdoor winter parties.
Themes that suit winter
Winter wants warm, cosy themes: woodland animals, Hogwarts with its floating candles, a vintage carnival lit with bulbs, a space party under the night sky, or penguins and snowflakes for the little ones.
Make use of outdoor space
Winter is the time for big lawn parties with rides, game stalls, a stage and a welcome gate. Our Delhi, Gurgaon and Noida pages list the farmhouse areas we work in most.
