The theme... SPRING, of course!
Diya, my sister, had asked everyone to come dressed for spring...
We had quite a quite a few flowery dresses, yes, definitely very spring-ey!
Dudes with flowers in their lapels..
...a few ladies with flowers in their hair....
and ..umm... the one dude with a flower on his turban! Haha! Looking good Divesh!
Your's truly decided to don a pair of orange flowery shorts, a-la Goa.
But the real winner for most innovatively dressed.....
....Wait for it......

........ She did say it was a SPRING themed party!
~ THE COCKTAIL MENU~
What good is a theme party without its very own signature cocktail. Which is why I decided to create what is now called the 'Spring Fling'. (I promise to post the recipe soon!)
...and then we had the double-decked vodka jello shots.....
Mango and raspberry AND mango and strawberry. (Let me know should anyone be interested in the recipe.)
It was mandatory for each guest to knock back at least one of these shots upon arrival.
and then there were mojitos and pina coladas...
~ THE FOOD~
It was a barbeque, so we had the usual barbecued chicken, paneer tikkas, barbecued marinated mushrooms, lamb burgers, hot dogs and the house specialty a whole roasted back leg of lamb. (will post this recipe soon too!).
...and for dessert there was not one but THREE birthday cakes... one of which is still lying uneaten in the fridge (looks like I'm slipping up...)
(Note: This post is not over yet... but since I have to go, I'm just going to publish it!)
