Celebrating Garba nights abroad is one of the most exciting ways for Indians to stay connected to culture while making new memories with friends. Whether you’re in the UK, the US or Canada, organizing a traditional Garba night can be overwhelming. Finding the right venue, coordinating friends, managing RSVPs, and keeping everyone in the loop often turns a festive occasion into a stressful one.
That’s where Fast Party comes in. It’s more than just an invite tool. It’s a complete AI event planning platform that helps you host a Garba night smoothly and joyfully. Here’s a step-by-step guide to hosting your next Garba celebration abroad using Fast Party, while solving common challenges faced by Indians overseas.
10 Steps to Celebrate Garba Nights in USA, UK and Canada
1. Pick the Perfect Garba Template & Set the Vibe
First things first, let’s make it look and feel like a festival.
- Browse Fast Party’s collection of vibrant templates. Neon, traditional, funky, or fusion; you’ll find something that screams “Garba time!”
- Customize it with your event name, date, time, and venue.
- If you’re unsure about the date, you can decide later. Fast Party makes it easy to update.
- Share it instantly with your guests and watch excitement building up.
Pro Tip: Templates are your shortcut to a polished, festive vibe without spending hours figuring out colors, fonts, or layouts. Just plug, play, and party!
2. Choose Your Venue (Big or Small)
No giant hall? No problem. Your Garba night can shine anywhere.
- Community Halls or Student Association Spaces: Perfect if your guest list is long.
- Apartments or Dorms: Small space? No worries. Fairy lights, rugs, and creative furniture arrangement can turn it into a mini festival arena.
- Rooftops or Parks: Dandiya in the open air makes unforgettable vibes. Just check permits and weather!
3. RSVPs Made Ridiculously Easy
Sending invites is one thing, but tracking RSVPs can be a headache. Especially when your friends are scattered across groups chat, Teams channels, or email threads. Nobody likes replying to a long, boring form or installing a new app just to say “I’m in.”
Enter Fast Party.
- Share your digital invite anywhere. WhatsApp, Teams, Instagram, Email, or even SMS.
- Guests simply click the link in your message and land on the Fast Party event page.
- No app download required, no complicated forms. Just one tap to RSVP.
- As the host, you get real-time RSVP tracking, so you always know who’s attending.
4. Circles: Your Secret Party Superpower
Circles are where the real magic happens. Think of them as smart little guest groups that make organizing your Garba nights a breeze.
- Group your guests: Friends, family, classmates, or colleagues. Each group gets its own Circle. You can even create a separate event for each Circle if you want.
- Tailored communication: Share updates specific to each group like dress code tips, rehearsal timings for friends, or menu preferences for family.
- Create once, reuse every year: Once you’ve created a Circle, it’s ready to roll even for next year’s Garba night. Fast Party remembers your groups, so planning next time is faster, easier, and even more fun.
With Circles, you can have fun with all your friends and family (separately as required, no mixing and no mess).
5. Track RSVPs and Guest Attendance Effortlessly
Want to know who’s coming without asking a hundred times? Fast Party has you.
- Track RSVPs in real time. No more guessing games.
- Check off guest arrivals at the event. It’s satisfying and keeps everything smooth.
- Ensure your party has enough people to dance.
6. Assign Tasks and Schedule Rehearsals
A Garba night isn’t a one-person show; it’s a team sport!
- Assign tasks: “Amit: set up the music, please,” “Priya: handle decorations,” “Rohit: organize the photo station,” “Dev: help the gang during rehearsals.” Everyone knows their role, and nothing falls through the cracks.
- Track progress: Watch as all the pieces come together. Lights, music, decorations, and dance rehearsals, so your Garba night runs smoothly.
Pro Tip: Create a Circle for your close friends and create an event for rehearsals. Share practice videos or playlist links in the activity feed so everyone’s ready to dance like a pro, even before the big night.
7. Use the Activity Feed to Keep Everyone Excited
The Activity Feed is where the excitement kicks off before the party even starts.
- Share updates, memes, gifs, sneak peeks, or playlist teasers.
- Post reminders or fun polls: “Which song should we start with?”
It’s like having a pre-party social wall that keeps energy high and everyone engaged.
8. Capture, Share, and Relive Every Moment
No one wants memories stuck in 10 different phones.
- Fast Party lets guests upload photos and videos directly to the app.
- Everyone from the event can upload and access the photos. No more hunting people for the pics.
- Share your Garba night on social media effortlessly or just keep it as a private treasure.
9. Student-Friendly Tips: Garba Made Easy
Limited budgets, busy schedules? No problem.
- Small-space hacks: Dorm rooms or apartments can shine with rugs, fairy lights, and clever furniture arrangements.
- DIY décor & templates: Use Fast Party templates for invites, décor ideas, and rehearsal planning.
- Coordinate with Circles: Assign snacks, music, decorations, and surprise dance rounds. Everyone knows their role.

Even on a budget, your Garba night can be fun, memorable, and hassle-free.
