The Decor

While not the most crucial, but home decor does play a vital role in setting the mood for the party. Don’t bore your guests with the same old diyas, play a little with fairy lights (that you can DIY) and floating rangolis. The more light up decor you will have for your party, the more stunning and lively it will look in photographs. Colors plays a vital role in environment, so color your party with the decor of bright colors and flowers too with the drapes and make your guests jaw drop out!

The Food

Mix up the mithais with a few desserts for variety. Because while you may love those kaju katlis, you could never refuse a red velvet preparation either. Have an assortment and balance it out. As for the food, different variety including italian, mexican, north indian, south indian and chinese is the way to the heart. Give your guests a different variety of food.

Drinks Corner

Every party is incomplete without drinks! Agree? Plan a drink corner for your guests but keep it away from the game zone and food corner. Serve your guests the best cocktails and mocktails. You can also serve fruit punch to your kids guests as well as to the aged people.
