Often theme-based, I organize at least two large parties every year at my residence, involving some seventy plus guests. I serve home made food. Drinks are imported, though. Expenses shared by my willing friends, parties are organized at home to cut costs. I have utensils, large stoves, plates, glasses, spoons, forks etc. to cook and serve a hundred guests at a time. Beds, chairs, and bookshelves are taken out of the house to accommodate guests. No dress code imposed and the guests are encouraged to use space available in balcony and the front gallery.
