Dhol parties were originally a traditional pre-wedding function for North Indian weddings. A high-energy event that involves a lot of dancing, singing, and music and of course the dhol. Dhol parties are typically held a few days before the wedding and are a great way to kick-start the wedding celebrations. But soon the Dhol fever is catching on to the rest of Indian weddings too.
Today no longer seen as just a punjabi wedding ritual, dhols are extensively part of all Indian weddings. Combine dhol night with DJ and you have a kickass combo for an all night celebration.
What’s Special About These Dhol Parties?
Dhol party is a pre-wedding event that gathers everyone in the family for a chill night full of fun, joy, and excitement. It is also a great opportunity for the bride and groom’s families to come together and celebrate a wedding event, yet a not so serious wedding function together. Think of it like a fun date night for the bride and groom families.
Traditionally, Dhol party is often seen as a way to ward off any negative energy and bring good luck and happiness to the couple. In many North Indian communities, the Dhol party is held on the day of the Haldi ceremony. Haldi in the morning and dhol party at night is a great way to successfully create a full-on eventful pre-wedding function.
How To Celebrate The Dhol Night
Unlike other events, dhol night is a much informal, get-together sort of event. The people who ignite the dhol night are the dhol players. All about music, dance, and fun, the event usually starts with the arrival of the Dhol players who set the tone for the party with their rhythmic beats.
Traditional Punjabi folk songs and Bollywood numbers are played during the Dhol party, and guests loose themselves to the beats of the Dhol. It is not uncommon for guests to form circles and dance in unison, creating a vibrant and energetic atmosphere.
Don’t Forget The Foodies
Popcorns and bonfires are also a great way to add warmth to the Dhol parties. Since it’s a family get-together buffet style food can never go wrong. Maybe add the element of pot pourri where each individual family from both sides gets some home cooked food. Make the dhol night your first ‘knowing each other’s family in depth’ kind of date.
Dress To Let Loose
This is not your usual wedding event, at dhol night you get to create your own look. Wear the most comfy attire of your choice. A sparkly sharara, multi colour lehenga with light embroidery work, or nicely flowy saree, the dress of choice is yours. Donning this with a loose bun, open hair, semi open hair and loose braid is a great way to get ready for a mega fun night.
Dhol party is THE fun-filled pre-wedding function that is enjoyed by everyone, young and old. Best way to celebrate the upcoming wedding and create a festive atmosphere. The rhythmic beats of the Dhol, the lively music, and the energetic dance moves make the Dhol party an unforgettable experience. So, if you are planning a wedding, don’t forget to include a Dhol night in your pre-wedding celebrations!
