Another option is to go with a Gajra-themed theme. No matter your theme, you will have a party guests will never forget. If you're throwing a cocktail themed party, consider some of the tips below.
Retro themed cocktails
Retro-themed invitations are best for retro-themed cocktails. These invitations can be purchased at a specialty shop like Sugar & Spice on Etsy. Encourage your guests to dress in cocktail attire from the 1950's and 1960's. You can decorate your invitations with food and other decorations.
A retro cocktail menu is required for the party. This can include both signature cocktails as nonalcoholic beverages. For the fun of the theme, you can serve some kitschy food like pigs in blankets or crudite platters. You can also serve deviled eggs, crudite plates, black and green olive bowls, red Velvet cupcakes, and even a retro game.
Apart from food and drink, music and decorations will be important to your party. For a retro cocktail party, you can play some classic jazz music or the classics from Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra. You will also need to provide a bar with enough liquor for your guests. Cocktail accessories such as pimentos-stuffed olives or citrus twists can also be prepared. Light-up ice cubes are also an excellent option for a retro-themed centerpiece.
Parties that are beach- and island-themed
Creating the perfect beach and island-themed cocktail party doesn't have to cost a fortune. A few tropical accents can make the party feel more tropical, like umbrellas and skirts made of hula fabric or tropical-colored flowers and tiki torches. Even flip-flops and t-shirts from vacation are acceptable. Regardless of your budget, the key is to make your guests feel comfortable. You can also set the mood with tropical music and create an island-themed environment.
You can transform your space into a tropical paradise, whether you host it at home, work, or in a hotel. Create the perfect environment by using light blue tablecloths and beach accessories. Other beach-themed decorations include seaweed, artificial sand, and Hawaiian leis. There are also inflatable palm trees and palm tree cutouts, as well as beach balls in all sizes.
Gajra theme parties with cocktails
Gajras can easily be integrated into your wedding theme. You have the option of using a white color palette to decorate your wedding reception. Or, you can create a Bohemian-inspired cocktail party by using this theme. Gajra cocktails theme invitations can be used to help you make your own party.
The theme of a cocktail party can be as simple, or as extravagant, as you want. Invite guests to wear clothes in the same color as you choose. If you prefer, you can also make a dress code. You can also use a theme as a springboard for the decor and menu. For example, a gin and juice party can be a perfect choice for those who love this type of drink. You can even serve light appetizers to go along with the cocktails. Another theme that is great is a bourbon tasting event, where guests bring their favorite bottles of liquor.
