How To Throw An Awesome National Day Party

If you're, like us, not lucky enough to score the National Day Parade tickets, and you're tired of hanging outside but you still want to be with your friends, we'd highly suggest a house party! (Team Naiise is throwing one too!)

Make your National Day house party a memorable and impressive one with our tips below. That said, have a great holiday ahead! 

Dress Code

Uniquely Singaporean Phrase T-shirt, Simitaiji, $25

Sir Stamford Raffles Pin, LOVE SG, $9.90

Treasures of Singapore Earrings - Dragon Pelican, THE FARM STORE, $20

A fuss-free dress code will be anything in red and white. But you can take it up a notch with a dress code of "Icons of Singapore", making it fun for everyone to pick and choose from a wide selection the kind of accessories they want to don on to fit the theme.

Party Decor

Dancing Kueh Stool, Onlewo, $315 

Kiasu Print, Kampong Creative, from $70

Gem Biscuit USB Lamp, Meykrs, $34.80

One important aspect of a great party is decor. Regardless of theme, the decor can easily create a party atmosphere, easing guests into the party mood the moment they are at the party. Apart from mini flags, and sprinkling red and white all over, you can accent your space with prints of local theme, lamps shaped like fancy gem biscuits, and even stools with kueh prints.

Dining Accessories
