Planning a Festive Celebration? Here’s How to Make It Inclusive for All
The festive season brings people together—but it also brings a challenge: how do you plan a celebration that includes everyone? With different faiths, diets, cultures, and lifestyles in the mix, it’s important to serve food that’s joyful and respectful—without feeling like you’re walking on eggshells.
At Lavish, we’ve catered countless year-end gatherings, office parties, family feasts, and multi-cultural events across Singapore. Here’s our guide to making your next festive celebration welcoming, inclusive, and delicious for every guest at the table.
Start with Halal-Certified Catering
In Singapore, halal-friendly food isn’t just appreciated—it’s essential. Lavish offers full halal certification across all catering formats, including:
This ensures that your Muslim colleagues, friends, and family members can fully enjoy the spread—without needing special arrangements.
Offer Dietary Variety Without Complication
Inclusivity isn’t about offering everything—it’s about offering something for everyone. Lavish menus can be customised to include:
Vegetarian mains
Gluten-free sides
Eggless desserts
Non-spicy options for kids or sensitive palates
We also clearly label every item on-site and in-box, so guests can make informed choices without needing to ask.
Think About Timing and Theme
Planning an end-of-year event? Remember that not everyone celebrates the same holidays, so avoid overemphasising a single tradition. Instead:
Go with a “Festive Gathering” or “Year-End Celebration” theme
Use neutral colour palettes like gold, navy, or evergreen
Let food and décor highlight togetherness—not just a single story
Lavish can help you style your buffet, dessert table, or party boxes with elegant, seasonal looks that feel warm, not exclusionary.
Mix Familiar with Festive
To keep everyone comfortable, balance celebratory dishes with crowd favourites. For example:
Pair a signature pasta or rice dish with a seasonal roast
Add local desserts alongside holiday-themed sweets
Create a beverage station with sparkling juices and herbal teas
The goal is to honour the festive mood without alienating anyone’s preferences or traditions.
Bring the Celebration to Every Corner
Whether you’re hosting on-site or virtually, Lavish supports you with:
Delivery of party boxes to remote staff
Bento sets for multiple teams or floors
Modular buffet setups for tight or unconventional venues
Live stations for a touch of flair
No matter your format, we help you keep the celebration accessible and joyful for all.
Celebrate with Intention, Style & Taste
At the heart of every holiday gathering is the desire to connect. Lavish makes it easy to create those connections—through food that’s thoughtful, respectful, and above all, delicious.
Let us help you plan an inclusive celebration that everyone can enjoy, remember, and talk about well into the new year.
