This year, many of us are trading loud music and crowded rooms for smaller tables and slower evenings. An intimate dinner offers what big parties often can’t - the luxury of presence. The table holds more than food. There are stories folded between plates, a bottle of wine leaning against its own shadow, laughter that tests the candles. Even with hosting, the atmosphere allows us to move without hurry.
The beauty, as always, is in the details. The handwritten note instead of a WhatsApp invite feels like a gift in itself. Small bowls of mogra gajras at each place setting to tuck into hair or wear around the wrist, turn a meal into a memory. A menu that elevates familiar food, candles that drip slowly through the night, music that hums just beneath the conversation - these are touches that linger. Intimate gatherings in this festive season are taking centre stage, and I for one am here for it.
When it comes to dressing, think of clothes that let you settle in - pieces that move with you, not against you. A handwoven co-ord set that feels effortless but polished. A fine linen dress belted softly at the waist to give a whisper of a shape. A hand embroidered outfit will always fit right in at a gathering such as this. Or a silk shirt that catches the light as you pass a dish across the table. In short, garments that don’t need adjusting, only inhabiting. A festive dinner or party need not be about scale. With generosity of thought, even the smallest gathering can become a memory of a lifetime.
