Here’s how you can top the rooftop party game affordably

Post-Diwali, the city is known for a major drop in the temperature and a nip in the air. With many forecasting a cooler city in the coming days, it’s time to turn your terrace into a party space. While hosting your own rooftop bash has its advantages, it also means bearing expenses. But, if you spend smart, you can avoid excessive expenditure. Here are some tips for hosting a pocket-perfect get-together:

DIY decor: Get your DIY lights act right by using mason jars lying around your house or innovating with handpainted paper lanterns. You could also bring out your Diwali LED lights and revamp and re-use them by fitting cute paper cups around them. In luck with potluck: By asking the attendees to contribute to the food and drink supply, you’ll have to worry less about catering to everyone’s tastes. This is also a nominal option because it also cuts down on wastage. Live entertainment: Instead of plugging in your laptop for music, ask your musically-talented friends to bring instruments. Your fix for live music and a great conversation starter for the post-music sesh. Reusable tableware: Invest in reusable tableware such as cutlery and wine glasses that will last you for quite a few parties.

Be game: Make your rooftop a warzone, with wellplanned games to keep your guests hooked. Why not go back to classics? Lay a mat or a comfy mattress, and bring out those board games to re-live the good ol’ days. Of course, add some adultin’ to it, by incorporating shots and cocktails.
