Jaithan turned 35 last summer, so to celebrate, we threw an Indian feast in the garden and invited Lonny to capture it. Perhaps our insider tips for throwing larger-than-life parties might inspire a princely feast of your own.

Jaye, Looks like you had a super spectacular birthday. Is that your Mom in the photo? How I wish I could have joined in the celebration. Hopefully, we can catch up soon as it has been much to long. Love, Mrs. K.

I admire how you handle the color pink that it comes unisex. I'm a man and straight and I like pink. Strange?

Absolutely love the decor for Jaithan's birthday celebration. The lantern in the tree is an exquisite idea I've always wanted to try. The matching gifts lend a nice touch. Can't wait to check it out in Lonny magazine. P.S. Indian food is my favorite cuisine.
