September Theme

Next week I will begin to explore and share ideas for a Magical Unicorn Themed Party.

Please call or email Party EZ for custom planning services which include decorating plans, activity plans, and shopping and decorating services!

Elements of the Bollywood Party

I've added a few close ups and general photos of a few of the props, pillows, and fabrics that will be used in the Bollywood/Indian themed party.  I will create a mock up of the actual party closer to the early-mid November event date. Please check back for photos of the mock up and of the actual event.

    Since this is a party for teenagers we will be offering henna hand stenciling/temporary tattoos.
The other activities will be watching themed movies in the newly Indian/Morrocan decorated "parlor".
Dinner will be served buffet style with the girls sitting on floor pillows at a low table to eat.

Food and More Decorations for Bollywood Party

We will purchase a few of our favorites from  local Indian resturant. However, I will supplement it with some food I make. I find the local Asian and Indian grocery stores ecomonical places to find commercical made sauces and curries that can be made by adding meats and veggies. Trader Joe's is another great place to shop for authentic and economical pre made sauces,chutneys and for naan.
I plan to serve the food on colorful,bright dishes.

My latest plan is to arrange several panels of fabric from the ceiling of the dining room so  as to mimic a tent ceiling.  I am also looking for interesting fabrics to use as runners and table coverings. And I cannot forget to add some Indian Elephants and Bengal Tigers to the decor!!!!  I may do that via fabric.    
I want this party to be vibrant and bold so I am thinking of really rich and jewel tones.

Stay tuned for photos of the fabrics collected.

Inspiration...

Inspiration can come in many forms!  The Bollywood/Indian Party theme is fueled by my daughter's love of Indian food. She has introduced several of her closest friends to this type of international cuisine and they are now fans. Further inspiration has come from some home decor items we have found at our local Marshall's and TJ Maxx stores. We have been able to purchase some discounted hand blown glass and pierced tin lanterns, indian/morrocan detailed throw pillows, and various decorative items.  They are going to be perfect for the party. We can also possibly use some pieces in our home, garden or other outdoor living areas should we not be able to use them for another party. Some pieces will lend themselves well to an Aladin/Jasmine/Arabian themed party for younger children's party.

 I always try to use items we already have or durable pieces that have multiple purposes.

Stayed tuned for more ideas on this theme and for photos of the things we have been collecting for this party!

Indian/Bollywood Themed Party

With only 3 months until my daughter's birthday I am beginning to make plans for a Bollywood/Indian themed event.  3 months you say? That's plenty of time. Not true when this is an entirely new theme for me. I've got a few ideas in my head.
Stay posted for my next update of ideas!
