A kitty is a group of women in India that fulfils two functions: It serves as a once or twice-monthly daytime party and a mechanism for the group to accumulate a modest amount of cash to have on hand in case one of its members has a financial emergency. Nowadays, kitty parties are hosted to create a memorable experience for everyone, not merely to speak. When the kitty members get together, they each contribute a certain amount of money to the host, who then organises food and activities for the participants.
Kitty parties occasionally offer a forum for the attendees to address their concerns and work together to find answers, in addition to providing gossip, delectable cuisine, and entertainment. Here are a few tips and tricks for you and your sisters to enjoy your next Kitty Outing!
1. Select the Perfect Venue
Nowadays, the ladies prefer to eat out, with each host selecting the ideal cat party venue. Kittens also frequent restaurant chains like Bikaner Vaala and Haldirams that provide chaat, or spicy, fried street food. Several restaurants have special menus that appeal to these women. To some housewives, Kitty Parties are liberating not because they are going out of their usual laborious schedule but also because they get to try out global cuisines ranging from Italian Risottos to Japanese Sushis and even Korean barbeques. With Delhi flooding with a ton of new restaurants it’s just the best time for women to go out and dine.
2. Invitation
Once you have finalised your Kitty Party Restaurant you can get onto designing a nice little Invitation to send to your Kitty Party Whatsapp Group. You can choose to design a Kitty Party invitation Card on sites like Canva or download one from Pinterest.

3. Decide a theme
A theme is not limited just to what the venue’s decor would be but also the Dress Code and the Food Menu. The theme of your dress code could depend upon colours, and patterns or have an inspiration attached to it like Hollywood/Bollywood Characters. While you’re at deciding the venue you have to keep in mind that restaurants might or might not abide by the theme that you decide so you can overcome this by choosing themed restaurants and planning your outfits and menu accordingly.
4. Plan the Menu with Extreme Care
A gathering wouldn’t be complete without delectable food and beverages. Plan the entire menu, including the beverages, appetisers, entrée, and dessert, following the theme. The success or failure of kitty parties is largely based on the kind of food served and is as essential as unofficial savings methods. A menu often includes snacks like bread pakoras, a popular North Indian snack formed of greasy, deep-fried bread pieces clamped around a sliver of paneer, fried cheese cutlets, and dahi bhallas, or cornflour balls immersed in yoghourt and a sweet dipping sauce from fennel seeds, garlic clove, and cumin.
But all of these are some orthodox menu items that were enjoyed at Kitty Parties in the past, people tend to explore different cuisines now. Ranging from Chinese, Japanese, Italian, and Continental all cuisine restaurants are readily available to host Kitty Parties and you could always consider them.
5. Plan activities
It is not just about Tambola and lunches at Kitties. Women plan entire outings for their kitty parties and with time the purpose of Kitty Parties is evolving. As the Host, you have to make sure that you are not organising a Kitty Party which is run-down and boring for your guests. Go out to newer restaurants, and explore locales and eateries that you have never been to before. While you’re at it you still have to make sure that you still give the guests a space which has great food and even better conversations. Each celebration is made exciting by the entertainment. Think of activities that fit the theme, such as Antakshari, charades, dancing contests or even drinking games.
As the Host of the Kitty Party, you have to give enough time to your guests to get comfortable with the location and try to be interactive with everyone, so no one feels left out and feel alienated. Moreover, make sure that everyone is having fun, whether it be while eating, playing games, or simply conversing, as that is what a Kitty Party is all about. Remember that it’s your Kitty Party too, and you deserve to enjoy it, too. When you’re organising the party, make sure to sample everything on the menu and partake in all the activities.
