While you still have to carefully curate the decorations, pick the perfect accompaniments and select the right backdrop, don't be afraid to be loud and proud. From gadgets that will make your day a whole lot better to setting up a cards table and home bar essentials, this is what you need for a sensational soiree.

Put All Your Cards on the Table

There's no denying it, what water is to plants, cards parties are to festive gettogethers. So this year invest in a gaming table that will become the talk of the town. A good option is the Flamingo Gaming Table by Italian-brand Giorgetti. It has a smoked glass top with an ergonomic solid ash edge that has a large radius designed to make it comfortable to rest your arms while playing. Four drawers, one for each gaming station, designed to hold the gaming equipment such as pawns, cards or chips. Each drawer is also equipped with a small tray to hold a glass of wine, cocktail or small objects. The edges are slightly higher than the top to leave room for a double-sided playing mat. Elegant, comfortable and ergonomic, the Annette chairs that pay tribute to the famous poker player Annette Obrestad and enhance the overall look. PRICE ₹34 lakh; AT www.sourcesunlimited.co.in
