Preparing for Eid: A Week-by-Week Guide
Eid should feel joyful, not frantic. The families who enjoy it most are the ones who prepared across Ramadan rather than in the final 48 hours. Here's a simple week-by-week plan.
3 weeks before Eid
- Buy outfits — especially kids' Islamic wear, where sizes sell out first.
- Draft your gift list and order personalised gifts now.
2 weeks before
- Order hampers and any Eid gifts that need assembly or personalisation.
- Prepare Eidi envelopes — Eid cards & envelopes.
1 week before
- Put up Eid decorations — Ramadan & Eid decorations.
- Plan the Eid menu and shop non-perishables.
- Confirm gift deliveries will arrive in time.
Eid eve
- Lay out outfits, wrap gifts, set the table.
- Prep as much food as possible so the morning is for prayer and family.
