Ideas to make your sangeet much more fun:

Let the elders take the lead

Nothing really beats the level of enjoyment when your grandparents are equally involved in it. Let your parents and especially grandparents take the lead and groove on their favourite tracks from their era. It will be even more fun if you can make them shake a leg on the latest hot dance numbers like Dilbar or Bom Diggy Diggy.

A cheering crowd

What’s a sangeet without some loud cheer?! Whether you’re worried that your wedding crowd won’t cheer as much or just to make sure that your friends are making enough noise, appoint a cheering squad. Get a few friends to get on the stage and hold up placards with words like Laugh Out Loud, Applause and WooHoo written across them. It’ll be a fun addition and will make all the difference. You can also leave whistles on every table for some added effect.

Flash mob is a thing

Flash mobs are always a hit. It’s a new trend and is here to stay. In fact, it’s a very good way to kickstart a sangeet event. Plan it well with a nice peppy Bollywood song and get your friends and family together. Nothing like a flash mob to set the mood of the night.

How about a Sufi night?

Everyone has a DJ night. Why not make your function unique by hosting a Sufi night. Arrange for a live Sufi band to kickstart your evening. You’ll be surprised how much you and your guests enjoy it. This can always be followed by a DJ night.

Paper dance is always a fun.

It’s an old concept but if organized well, it’s going to be so much fun. It’s a game where people of every age group can participate and bring in so many giggles and stories to cherish forever. And of course, everyone would love to see the bride and groom play this one!

Arrange for a dance competition

Spice it up by arranging a dance competition between the boy’s side of the family and the girl’s side of the family. This will act as a great icebreaker between both the families and bring them closer. You can even do a dance face-off between the cousins!

Get some quirky snacks to munch on

Pehle pet puja fir kaam duja! A dhamaakedar sangeet without lip-smacking food sounds so blah. While you’ll have a full spread on the wedding day, for the sangeet, finger food or heavy snacks is the way to go. Mini pizzas, kathi rolls or cocktail samosas… Something that your guests can grab and hit the dance floor.

Get dancing shoes for all

Everybody loves to dance, and especially if it’s a sangeet. But it’s only a matter of hours before your and your guest’s feet start aching in the 6-inch heels. To avoid any sort of pain or inconvenience, arrange for some comfortable slippers for your guests. It’s the cutest, most thoughtful detail.
