Here’s how to seamlessly hop between a Diwali gathering and a Halloween party like a pro:

Diwali-friendly Halloween costumes

You can dress up as a character that works for both Diwali and Halloween! For example, dress as a traditional Indian bride or groom but add some spooky makeup touches later. It’s a fun way to enjoy both celebrations without needing to change completely.

Party hopping like a pro

Diwali celebrations typically happen in the early evening, while Halloween parties usually start later at night. If it's the case for you, attend your family’s Diwali pooja and dinner, then change into your Halloween costume and head out for a fun Halloween night.

Carry a quick Halloween prop 

If your Diwali outfit doesn’t quite fit the Halloween theme, keep a small Halloween accessory in your bag for a quick change. A simple mask, witch’s hat, vampire cape, or skeleton gloves can easily be considered Halloween-worthy. Plus, these items are easy to carry and won’t take up much space, making them perfect for a costume change on the go.

Diwali-themed Halloween makeup

If you’re into makeup, start with a Diwali-inspired traditional look. Later, add elements like glittery eyeshadow, dark eyeliner, or red lipstick to match the Diwali theme. Then, for Halloween, build on it with smudged eyes, fake scars, or vampire fangs for a scary look.
