Make sure to put together a great party playlist for the night,” said Ankit and Anand.

The festivities can also be taken outside with BBQ stations and gaming zones that bring both family and friends together for an enjoyable time. Make grand gestures with lighting with a pergola or glass house or keep things cool with a teepee or open-to-the-sky gathering that has food carts operating in it,” said Kalra.
