Get Ready for The Celebrations

If Holi is celebrated with great fanfare in your family, you need to be prepared to be a part of it. Sometimes, things get out of hand when everyone tries to smother the bride with colours, water balloons, and more. Don’t wear anything blingy or gaudy. Instead, choose a simple, yet elegant but expendable dress. Your attire must give out a joyful vibe. Apply thick cream or oil on all exposed body parts and hair so that you don’t look like a kaleidoscope of colour after Holi festivities are over. If your skin is highly sensitive, wear a protective moisturizer and lather it well so that you can avoid experiencing harmful effects of colour. Keep your hair properly tied up.

Be at your smiling and bubbly best

Since it is going to be your first holi with an entirely new set of people, you cannot go overboard with your excitement but shying away and staying behind all the time might not be taken well. New relatives, friends, and in-laws will be there to give their blessings and you can use this occasion to bond with them. Be at your best behavior and serve them with delectable holi delicacies.

Sing or Dance if asked

Holi is also one of the best times when relatives encourage the bride to have some fun and participate in revelries. They may insist on dancing and singing. If they are too insistent, choose a sensible song and dance to its tunes without showing off. Your graceful moves are sure going to win their hearts and they will appreciate your subtle way of enjoying festivities with them.

Party with your friends

If some of your friends missed attending your wedding, you can invite them over, introduce them to your new family, and make them feel pampered. Before inviting them, it is always better to find out if it is a strictly family affair. If friends are allowed, you can indulge in a little music and dancing with them. Do not forget to include your younger brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law and ensure everyone is having a fun time without feeling left out. Here, your hostess skills are going to be tested. So, you need to ensure that everyone at the party is having a good time.

Avoid or go easy on bubbly

Even if your in-laws are aware that you drink, it is better to avoid booze during the Holi party, especially if you find difficult to hold it. Since you are under intense observation from extended family and relatives, it is always better to be a little careful. If you are planning to indulge a bit, ensure that your husband knows about it and is close to you all the time. You would not want this occasion to embarrass yourself in front of others.
