The information in this post might be outdated

It’s IPL season, and it’s the perfect time to gather up all your friends and throw a little shindig to watch your favourite cricket teams bat{tle} it out. With our guide, throwing a last-minute party will be a piece of cake. Get planning, right about now.

 

Don't Be A Sore Boozer

What’s a screening party without booze? We have a whole of list of thekas around town that are stocked to the brim. In case you need bar accessories {because there are never too many bottle openers}, drop by Grand Bazaar. Also, if you thought that fancy cocktails can only be made by bartenders, &Stirred’s changing the game with their cockatil pre-mixes. Mix it in water, pour as much liquor as you want and enjoy a crazy blurry {or not so blurry} evening.

Pizza For The House?

No matter what your party’s got going on, people always care about the food. Plus, you’ll need your energy after all that cheering for your teams. Whether it’s kebabs or pizzas, Foodama – the 24×7 food delivery service will be your saviour. They’ve tied up with more than 5,000 restaurants across Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon, so you know that they’ll get food delivered to you, no matter where you are. West Delhi peeps, we have a list of late-night deliveries in your area that do everything from the good ol’ Dal Makhni to Paneer Makhni Pizzas so you can binge, guilt-free.

Need more options? We think that the Hungry Ullu’s Legendary Mutton Pizza and their mix-sauce pasta will go very well with your beer. The best part, they deliver till 4 am.

Make It Look Like A Party

If you’re throwing a party, it should certainly look like one and for all the crazy props and basic supplies, check out our list of trusted party supplies stores. These stores, with beer helmets, alcohol-based games, the most wicked theme props and all sorts of essentials, will have your back for sure. Our suggestion: Be as creative with your props and games as you possibly can be.

No Mess, No Stress

Partying with full feels and having to clean up your own mess {or other people’s} is not the happiest post-party activity. To ensure a happy, fuss-free next day, call up the peeps at Broomberg. With packages starting at INR 5,499, this home-cleaning service takes care of everything, from most dreadful wine stains to tidying up a kitchen filled with takeaway boxes or greasy floors.

Hangovers? No, Thank You

We know a lot of people who wake up with a painful hangover after a crazy night of partying, and those who give drinking scenes a pass altogether because of the thought of ending up with an unbearable headache. If you’re one of those people, try LIVitup: an Ayurvedic FDA-approved pill you’re supposed to consume right before you start drinking, so the dreadful nausea becomes a thing of the past. Be sure to check with your physician too before you give this pill a shot.

Look The Part

Your #OOTD is obviously going to be your team’s T-shirts or jerseys. While local markets like Sarojini and Lajpat have plenty of these, you could check out sites like Flipkart and Amazon for IPL merchandise. Caps, shirts, jerseys, they have a lot of stuff to get you into the spirit.
