Real Parties: Bollywood Retro Theme 25th Anniversary Celebration

We recently enjoyed a super fun silver wedding anniversary celebration in the family and wanted to share with you some creative nuances from the event.

The theme was Bollywood retro and I loved the way the invite, designed and written by our cousin Dipti, set the stage, giving away event details such as date, time venue, dress code, etc, in a unique Antakshri format.

The other super element Dipti brought to the party was a simple DIY - transforming popular movie posters from that era by replacing the lead actor or actress with a picture of each of the elders in their younger days. These were framed and placed on tables. They can be a really fun alternative to name cards in table settings while at the same time adding to the decor and theme, and can also serve as personalised returns/giveaways.

Retro glares in various shapes and colors (as you can see in the first image) were made available as fun props to provide that extra zing to the pictures :-)

P.S. If you have organised or attended or know of a really cool party and want it to be featured in this section, please send me an e-mail on nishka [dot] manglani [at] gmail [dot] com
