When planning a costume theme party there are a few things that you should try and consider
- · Is your costume theme realistic?
Choosing a costume theme that is obscure may cause your guest headaches if you are planning on getting them to dress in theme. If you chose something that is too hard for guest to find costumes chances are that you will have a lot of guests not bother.
- · Is your party in a really public place?
If you have planned party at your local bar then chances are many of your guests may feel embarrassed about wearing a costume. Keep this in mind when planning your party. If you have a more private location then your guests are more likely to go crazy with the costumes.
- · Is there enough costume variety in your theme?
Part of the fun is seeing people turn up in different costumes so it is a good idea to chose a theme that offer a bit of variety. After all it won’t be as much fun if everyone turns up in the same thing.
- · Will your friends and family participate
Some people just do not like costume parties. Assess your circle and decide if they will participate. If you think they might hesitate with the costumes try offering a prize for the best dressed. Otherwise if you think your guest will be party poopers try a masquerade/mask party. That way they only have to wear a mask but it is still fun.
- · Do you really need a costume theme?
Sometime with costume parties it is fun just to let people dream up any costume they want. The results can be very fun.
The main thing with costume theme parties is to make sure you make it easy and fun for your guests. As a guest at a costume theme party always try and make an effort with your costume after all the party is all about the host and the costumes will make them happy.
