Need a break from planning the traditional dinner party? Create a party that features bold party decorations, as well as bold party food. Take a traditional dinner party to new heights with a Bollywood inspired themed party.
I recently spoke to a dear friend who lives in Arizona. She mentioned that she had gone to a Bollywood party. I asked her, "What is a Bollywood party?" She explained that it is a party based upon the India styles of movies, that are becoming hugely popular. In these Hindu movies, the characters often sing and dance.
In this party version of a Bollywood movie, the female guests wore beautiful Indian dresses called sarees. The men were asked to wear pyjamas, which are pants tied with a string at the waist (yes, just like we here in the US wear as bed clothes) with long shirts. The party decorations were pure Bollywood with lots of vibrant colors. Gold was the main color, and as my friend tells me they used golds, reds, and deep blue linens on the tables. Several stunning vases were filled with what looked like diamonds, with lotus flowers floating in them.
The host and hostess served a dip made with chickpeas called chatpata chana dip. They used crisped Indian flatbread as the chips. The main meal was catered and of course, it was all authentic Indian food.
It's not hard to throw a Bollywood party, you can go all out as was the case with the party my friend went to. Or you can make it a smaller affair with homemade Indian food. You can use vibrant pillows and cloth as well as flowers to decorate your home or party facility . The key to a Bollywood party is all about the clothes the women guest wear. Just like in Bollywood it's about fashion, love and fun.
