Who says they are Indian?


I don’t see anything in the post claiming the OP must be Indian.


Do you know what Biryani and Seviyaan is? If you did you’d know it was food from the sub-continent.

As a mom, I would love it if my kids had an awesome time but maybe also learned a little something about your culture, Ramadan, Islam, etc. Is there something that you could do that taught them something, not in a heavy-handed way? A craft or some coloring pages maybe?


I would think that would kind of ruin the party. It is not a birthday party, but neighbors and all of them party, if many kids show up no need to come up with crafts, they would play around the yard and in the street and have a ball.... Organizing Eid dinner is so much work, if I was hosting I would not be adding to my plate. Sometimes party needs to be just a party.

I was going to invite friends, neighbors, kids friends and families to an open house style party with some activities for the kids (Moon Bounce, balloon twister, maybe a pony). Obviously many attending don’t celebrate Eid, but it’s a time to celebrate with friends. Would you be offended? Would you attend if invited to such an invite by your kid’s friend? The invite would probably explain Eid, but not intending to have any religious overtures at the party.


of course

sounds fun

What's on the menu?

If you can cook, I'm in! Seriously, most people would enjoy learning about your traditions.
