Indian-Theme Dinner Party (109)Event planner Seema Syed sets the scene for an Indian-theme dinner party with vibrant colors and fabrics. Follow her lead for other authentic Indian touches, too, from a dining table set low so guests sit on the floor to elephant figurine placeholders.
Draw menu items from all regions of India and set guests at ease with Taj-Mahinis made of cranberry and pineapple juice with a good dose of orange-flavored vodka inspired by the version served at Nirvana, a Los Angeles restaurant.
