Ramadan is a time when family and friends gather often for iftar and sahoor meals. Hosting can be stressful, but here are a few tips to help make things easier and smoother.
Be prepared
Have your table set, food ready, and outfit picked out long before your guests arrive for a stress-free evening.
Decoration
Creating a beautiful setup and ambiance is always a bonus and adds a delicate touch. From lanterns to candles, spruce up your house with Ramadan décor.
Invitations
Keep gatherings to a few people. Schedule your invitations for different days because smaller groups are more intimate. Invitations also matter so include date, time, location and any other details that may be useful.
Diversity
It is important to have a tasty display of food. However always keep in mind your guests’ dietary preferences. Provide a variety of options so that there is always something for everyone.
Display the dates
Keep the dates out for everyone to see so when the clock strikes for iftar, they can help themselves. Also, place a small dish or bowl nearby for people to discard their pits comfortably.
Spiritual atmosphere
Prepare prayer rugs in a designated quiet and comfortable area.
