I think she meant she ll give “dum” to biryani when guests arrive.

exactly

@noor321

How is it even possible to start making biryani when the guests start coming? lol

Are you not meant to be attending to the guests?

yup, if you make the masala/meat beforehand, then you just have to layer the meat and rice and give dum …

I agree about the sari with the earlier post. I wouldn’t wear it…you will be running around a lot.

I would make the kabobs the day before as well, not sure what type of dahi baly you will make but if possible fry the baly before hand as well. Why are you waiting for the baryani to be cooked once the guest arrive. I would take care of everything before hand so there are no issues once the party starts.
I think you are making and will have too many desserts, i would reduce and take away one item.

For my son’s birthday, i had my cousin bring her keyboard and play all the nursery rhymes…all the kids loved it, the mommies also enjoyed that. Before and after this, i had music playing in the background.
I picked the theme and it was under the sea. most of all the kids were under 5 at his party…and i gave them beach basket full of beach toys and a themed balloon.

I want the biryani to be ‘fresh’, I’ll make the bmasala/meat part before hand -…
what a fun idea!

To keep the kids amused I would have a bouncy castle and organise games like musical statues, pass the parcel, musical chairs or even an entertainer. These days I always have my kids parties in a playcentre.

I don’t want to rent anything this time around, because my daughter will be too small to enjoy it

A sari on the first bday when you are dealing with a baby and cooking biryani!?! May the force be with you! Make sure that you have arranged loads of help with baby like 90% of the time. And I hope you have experience wearing sari beforehand like numerous times.

Everything else sounds good - for a girl decor is easy lots of balloons with a few flowers, butterflies, etc in background decor should be perfect. Go to party city or Pinterest for lots of amazing diy ideas.

I’m starting to doubt my saree decision…

Thanks!! Pinterest is insane…omg, so many cool ideas!!
