How to plan a kitty party at home
Start with your guest count, budget and meeting time, then choose a theme and a menu you can serve comfortably. A kitty party works best when the host can spend time with the group. Prepare the space and activities in advance, and keep the food plan simple enough to enjoy together.
1. Pick a time, budget and theme together
Check the group’s availability and agree on whether you are hosting lunch, evening snacks or dinner. Set a budget that includes food, drinks, simple decorations and games. Confirm attendance before finalising quantities.
A regional food theme gives everyone something to talk about. Try a hometown memories theme, a favourite-city lunch or a sweets tasting. Choose one source city if you want a single standard T2P order; a menu from several cities needs separate orders or a bulk enquiry.
2. Choose a balanced kitty party menu
For an afternoon gathering, plan a savoury snack, a substantial dish if the party crosses a meal time, a sweet and drinks. For a full lunch, add an appropriate main course and accompaniments. Ask about vegetarian preferences and allergies before picking the menu.
Use the live city and restaurant collections to shortlist regional food. Biryani, kebabs, kachori and sweets are examples to explore in the catalog, with availability depending on your location. Match the menu to the serving setup: a seated meal can handle different dishes from a games-and-snacks afternoon.
3. Plan quantities from serving sizes
Read the listed pack size or serving information for each item. If a pack is listed for four people and you have twelve guests, three packs is only a starting calculation; adjust for other dishes, appetite and dietary preferences. Ask the team if serving information is missing instead of assuming a pack will feed the whole group.
Keep a separate count for each dietary preference. Order accompaniments intentionally so guests are not left with a main dish that needs something you have not arranged.
4. Make the food arrival part of the plan
When ordering from another city, check the route, delivery date and cut-off before confirming. Intercity cooked food can arrive chilled. Plan fridge space, reheating equipment and suitable serving dishes; follow the instructions supplied with the food.
Set out the games, seating and table before guests arrive. If you are requesting a larger order, share your party time and destination PIN code with T2P, and ask the team to confirm what can be delivered. Keep the confirmation separate from your invitation until the delivery plan is agreed.

Bring a favourite city to your celebration
Browse available dishes from a source city or restaurant. For larger quantities, tell T2P your guest count, menu, destination PIN code and event date. The team confirms availability, timing and quote before booking.
Common planning questions
What food can I serve at a kitty party?
Choose food around the time of day: snacks and sweets for an afternoon gathering, or a main course with accompaniments for lunch or dinner. Ask guests about dietary preferences, then check the live catalog for regional dishes available at your delivery address.
Can I order kitty party food from another city?
You can order from supported source cities on Tastes2Plate. Check the available date and your destination PIN code. For a larger group or a specific menu, send a bulk enquiry with the guest count, dishes and serving time before confirming.
How do I plan the best kitty party for my group?
Choose a plan around the people attending: agree on a convenient time, ask about food preferences, and pick a theme the group enjoys. A short menu, one or two activities and food arranged in advance leave the host free to join in. There is no single best format for every group.
How can I plan a kitty party on a budget?
Set the total budget before choosing food or decorations. Use one theme, keep the menu short, compare the full cost including delivery, and calculate quantities from pack sizes. Check whether accompaniments are included so there are no last-minute additions.
What are some kitty party theme and menu ideas?
Try a hometown memories lunch, a favourite-city meal or a regional sweets tasting. Choose a main dish with suitable accompaniments for a meal, or savoury snacks and a sweet for an afternoon gathering. Confirm dietary preferences and check the catalog for items available to your address.
How much food should I order for 10 or 20 kitty party guests?
Use each product’s stated servings, weight or piece count and consider the other dishes in your menu. Divide the required portions by the listed servings per pack and round up as a starting point. Confirm adult and child numbers and dietary splits with the team for a bulk request.
