🪔 Personalised “My First Diwali” Baby Outfit — Happy Diwali Elephant by Spotted Lizard Prints
Diwali is the festival of light, love, and new beginnings. If this is your little one’s very first celebration, you’ll want an outfit that’s as joyful and memorable as the occasion itself. Enter the Happy Diwali Elephant design from Spotted Lizard Prints—a personalised “My First Diwali” baby outfit available as a Baby Vest or Rompersuit. It’s cute, comfy, and customisable with your baby’s name and the year, so your tiny star can shine bright at every family gathering, video call, and photo moment.
Personalised unique gift ideas from Spotted Lizard Prints — handmade with care, printed to last, and designed to become keepsakes.
Whether you’re hosting a diyas-lit dinner or visiting relatives, this outfit brings a touch of festive magic to your baby’s wardrobe—and gives you that frame-worthy photo for the memory box.
Why Pick the Happy Diwali Elephant Outfit?
1) Two Adorable Options: Baby Vest or Rompersuit
Every family dresses differently for Diwali, so we’ve made it easy:
- Baby Vest: Short-sleeved, light, and perfect for layering under a cardigan, lehenga-style skirt, kurta pyjama set, or just by itself for cosy indoor celebrations.
- Rompersuit: The all-in-one choice with that extra “special outfit” feel—great for daytime festivities, evening aarti, or relaxed family dinners where baby wants to wriggle, roll, and nap.
Both options feature our joyful Happy Diwali Elephant artwork—festive, friendly, and instantly photogenic.
2) Super-Soft Fabric for Sensitive Skin
Our Baby Vest is made from a comfortable blend of 65% cotton and 35% polyester, giving you the best of both worlds: cotton’s softness + polyester’s durability. The result? A gentle feel on delicate skin, lightweight breathability, and excellent shape retention wash after wash. The added stretch moves with your baby, making it perfect for tummy time, toddles, or sweet Diwali snoozes.
Short sleeves and a soft hand-feel mean this is an outfit they’ll be happy in—day or night.
3) Personalised, Because Firsts Deserve to Be Remembered
Add your baby’s name and the year (for example “Aanya • First Diwali 2025”) to create a one-of-a-kind keepsake. Personalisation makes the outfit extra special in photos and—even better—turns it into a memory you’ll keep long after baby has outgrown it.
Special Instructions: When you order, just pop the name and year in the personalisation box. We’ll place them beautifully so your design stays clean and balanced.
4) Designed for Real Life (and Real Babies!)
Diwali can be busy! Between lighting diyas, doing the aarti, nibbling mithai, and cooing at a very cute baby, you need an outfit that’s easy:
- Quick changes thanks to stretch fabric and baby-friendly fastenings.
- Layerable for chilly evenings or air-conditioned rooms.
- Durable print that resists cracking and fading with proper care.
What Is Diwali—and Why Does It Matter?
Diwali (Deepavali) is a five-day festival celebrated by millions around the world. At its heart is a simple, powerful idea: the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.
- Why it’s celebrated varies by region and tradition. Many mark Lord Rama’s return to Ayodhya after exile and victory over Ravana; others focus on Goddess Lakshmi, welcoming prosperity and new beginnings.
- How it’s celebrated: Cleaning and decorating the home, lighting diyas, making colorful rangoli, sharing sweets, exchanging gifts, wearing new clothes, and spending time with loved ones.
- Who celebrates: Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, and Buddhists observe Diwali in ways meaningful to their faiths and histories.
For families, Diwali is togetherness—the ideal moment to mark a baby’s “firsts.” A personalised outfit doesn’t just look adorable; it becomes a tangible reminder of the values Diwali carries: warmth, hope, and fresh starts.
My First Diwali: Make the Memories Look as Good as They Feel
Your baby’s first Diwali happens once. Here’s how to make it sparkle—comfortably.
Styling Ideas
- Classic Festive Layering: Pair the Baby Vest under a soft cardigan or a light kurta, with leggings or bloomers in matching colours (gold, maroon, peacock blue, saffron, or pastel pinks/purples).
- All-in-One Ease: Choose the Rompersuit for a single, standout piece. Add a knitted hat or bow and soft booties to finish the look.
- Sibling Match: Dress big brother/sister in coordinating tees or sweatshirts—think “Big Brother at Diwali” or a personalised name tee in matching colours.
Photo Moments You’ll Treasure
- Diyas Glow: A soft-lit shot next to (safe, out-of-reach) diyas or LED tea lights.
- Rangoli Ready: Baby beside a colourful rangoli with their name and year on the outfit.
- Family Portrait: Everyone in jewel tones; baby in a bright white outfit with the Happy Diwali Elephant as the star.
- First Aarti: Capture that peaceful cuddle during the aarti (bonus points for sleepy smiles).
Tip: If using real flames, keep baby at a safe distance and swap to battery lights for close-ups. Safety always comes first.
Sizing, Fit & Care: Everything You Need in One Place
Sizing
We offer a range of baby sizes (typical spans include Newborn, 0–3 months, 3–6 months, 6–12 months, depending on the style in stock). If baby’s between sizes or you love a roomy fit for layering, we suggest sizing up.
Fit
- The Baby Vest is short-sleeved, lightweight, and stretchy—ideal for playing, feeding, and naps.
- The Rompersuit offers complete coverage for a “dressed up” look that’s still comfy enough for all-day wear.
Care Instructions
To keep colours vibrant and fabric soft:
- Wash inside out on a gentle cycle with mild detergent.
- Air dry where possible; avoid high heat to protect the print.
- Iron inside out on low if needed (never directly over the printed design).
- No bleach or harsh chemicals.
Follow these simple steps and your “My First Diwali” outfit will look party-perfect for hand-me-downs and memory boxes alike.
Why Personalised Festival Outfits Are the Best Gifts
Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, aunt/uncle, or family friend, personalised Diwali outfits tick every box:
- Thoughtful: A name and year turns clothing into a keepsake.
- Useful: Babies wear vests and rompers often—this one just happens to be adorable.
- Memorable: “My First Diwali” is a milestone you’ll revisit in stories and photos for years.
- Easy to gift: Add a short note—“To Arya, with all our love on your First Diwali”—and it’s present-ready.
Want more? Bundle the outfit with a personalised cushion (perfect for the nursery) or a photo slate to frame a favourite festival snapshot. Coordinated gifts make for unforgettable unwrapping moments.

A Gentle Word on Diwali Safety with Babies
- Keep open flames well away from baby—use LED tea lights for close photos.
- Choose comfortable layers; babies can overheat quickly during busy gatherings.
- Bring a spare outfit (or two)—it’s a festival, but babies are still babies!
- Protect little ears if fireworks are planned—noise-reducing ear covers can help.
Your baby’s comfort makes every celebration more joyful.
