Holi is that time of the year when most people want to play with colours. Or at least, the person expects a special one to bring some colour into their lives. Old t-shirts, and ripped jeans tucked in one side of the cupboard, are now jostling to come out. Whether you are planning for a full-blown extravaganza at an outdoor staycation or an intimate terrace party with your closest ones, here are some of the tips to help you ace your holiday as well as a 'Holi'day party. It's time to load up those water balloons and pichkaris.

Put together a stylish invite: Not only is having a guest list an essential in helping you plan the budget, location, and other arrangements for your bash, a thoughtful invite can also help you set the tone for a truly joyous celebration. Propose a colour-based dress code to indulge your guests' creative side as you amp up the excitement for a day full of playful madness.
