With it’s hair-pin bending plots, jhatkas and maatkas, and masala-spiced twists, Bollywood is the very quintessence of on-screen melodrama. From thrillers to romance, Bollywood has something that resonates with everyone in the family (including the pious aunty!). So, if you’re looking to bring the family together for a fun filled event then take a cue from the silver screen and create a little of your own drama. Psst… we’re sure it’ll be a blockbuster hit!

Here’s how to pull off a Bollywood themed Wedding or party with isshtyle-

1. Create your own red-carpet night that is worthy of all your guests, complete with hired photographers who double up as paparazzi. Trust us, they’ll feel every bit like a star! Also, if you want to make it really special, make the bride and groom arrive in a limousine *celebrity status*.

2. Keep the guests intrigued for the big day by making Bollywood-poster inspired invites with quirky taglines like “coming soon” and “premieres on”. Take your favourite Movie or filmi-jodi and customise the movie poster with your faces. Fun and unique, these invites are sure to be a hit.

3. The easiest well to pull off a Bollywood-themed wedding is to nail the decor. A simple way to  do it is to put up old and new movie posters, or have some cut outs of your favourite romantic quotes from movies as table cards. The classic movies could be for the oldies, while the newer movies can be for the teens table. Get creative!

4. Have a Bollywood theme photobooth that allows your guests to pose next to their favourite stars. Or have a movie poster and some props and let the guests create their own maasti. You could also ask them to come dressed as characters from movies and hand out an award to the best dressed. Warning: Guests may choose to horde the photobooth then to ooh-and-aah at you.

5. Entertainment, entertainment, entertainment! It all comes down to how much fun your guests will have during your party. If it’s a sangeet party, then you can have a line up of fun games from Bollywood karaoke, dance medleys and the good ol’ family favourite Antakshari.

6. DJ wale babu mera gaana chala do! Just while the guests are arriving, ask them to fill out their DJ request songs. This ensures you manage to get everyone on the dance floor.

7. Switch up the chaat counter for a popcorn cart that will be fun for the entire fam to munch on while the dances are on. You can have a range of flavours from garam masala to chilli cheese. *nom nom*

8. As for the main meals, add a little tadka to them by giving them quirky names that are sure to make you the guests LOL! Have Hum Aapke Hai Corn balls or Chai Ho. You can coin up a few names and make a Bollywood worthy menu.

9. Rum-rum rum-rum rum… o whisky! Do the same for the bar counter. Apart from the vodka-laced pani puris, you can have the “Dirty Pitcher” too or spice up things by adding chilli as a flavour to your martinis.

10. And finally for the maasti-packed favours! Send off your guests with something that’ll be a sweet reminder of the fun-filled party. Create your favours by starting with a Bollywood Inspired bag and fill it up with goodies like DVDs, keychains, coasters or magnets, and give even the most scornful of the lot a “khush hua” feeling.
