Eid Celebrations Tips: Making Your Eid Memorable Without Breaking the Bank.
Eid in Pakistan isn’t just a holiday — it’s an event. Streets glow with fairy lights, tailors work overtime, and the smell of sheer khurma fills the air. But with all the excitement comes the pressure: What to wear? How to host? How to make it memorable without spending a small fortune?
Here’s your Gen-Z-friendly yet timeless guide to Eid celebrations that keep the joy alive and the wallet safe.
1. Dress to Impress (Without Emptying Your Wallet)
We get it — you want that perfect Insta picture. But new clothes don’t have to mean new debt.
Tips:
- Mix and match: Pair last year’s kameez with a new dupatta or accessories.
- Borrow from siblings or friends (yes, we said it).
- Explore local thrift stores or online preloved clothing pages.

2. Plan Your Eid Menu Like a Pro
Nothing says Eid like overeating. But hosting doesn’t have to be a nightmare.
Ideas:
- Go potluck: Every guest brings one dish.
- Cook in advance — avoid spending all day in the kitchen.
- Keep a balance: Pair heavy dishes (biryani, nihari) with lighter ones (salads, raita).
