I love a good party. There never has to be any special reason for me to host one! I just love getting my friends together and cooking for them. The reason? They're incredibly generous with their praise!

If you've got friends like mine - and I am sure you do - honor them by throwing them a Bollywood bash! Inspired by India's colorful and very fun, multi-million dollar film industry, this will be a party they'll remember for years! To make life really simple for you, I've put together the blueprint for everything starting with how to make your invites and decorate your home to suggestions for what food you could serve. When you're done, you'll be raking in compliments with both hands!!
