Are you planning on hosting a theme costume party, but still undecided on what theme to use? Nowadays, there are hundreds of theme ideas readily available on the internet and on your favorite costume shops. Some of the most popular themes range from the renaissance period, angels and demons, the ancient times, current events, and even politics! Each theme has its own pros and cons and aren't really fit to be used at any time. It depends on the current time and season, and the guests who will be coming. And of course, it depends on YOU so you have to plan cautiously.
Always decide the venue of the party first. Organizing a Hawaiian costume theme party in the mid of winter season is not at all a good idea. Or a Halloween theme party in the month of April! Make a not of the venue also, check if the site will be able to be decorated as per the theme and if the theme costumes the guests will wear will make them feel uncomfortable. The location should also match the theme chosen. If it's too cold, choosing a Hawaiian themed costume party will surely make people uncomfortable as they will be wearing the men's costumes or women's costumes which will so off their skin or some other light costumes. So decide accordingly.
If the theme party is for children, the theme should be selected as per the age group. Animal costumes, superheroes, cartoon characters etc will be perfect for children as costumes. The elderly adults or teens would surely want to wear the costumes which will show of some skin or show their personality. They can guise themselves as celebrates, their favorite and least favorite professors, priests, prostitutes and pirates.
For the invitations, it should be sent to the guests around 4-5 weeks before the event, just so they can prepare for it and go look around for costumes. 4-5 weeks should be enough; longer than that, they might have misplaced their invitations and remember it only a few days before the party. The sending out of invitation shouldn't be too near the date of the party, or the guests might show up unprepared and the men's costumes might end up only as their favorite shirt and pants.
To lessen the hassle for the guests, you could also put in together with the invitation a list of costumes or characters they could use for the event. Remember to include a variety of choices so as to lessen the chances of them having a spitting image at the party (but that could also be fun!). And if there's anyone you know that owns a costume shop, or just anyone that could give you a big discount, you could also include the shop's name, location, and the dresses and women's costumes they're willing to have rented at discounted prices.
If you want every guest to abide by the prescribed type of costume the you can always mention some of the examples of the costumes that the guests are expected to wear and also write the punishment for those who flout form the rule. Making the defaulter write "I will not come to any costume party without a costume" n number of times if the party theme is school or university, or drenching the defaulter in water if the theme is underwater are some examples.
Whatever the theme is, make it as comfortable as possible; as inexpensive as it can be; and as attention catching as possible! And make them feel that they're welcome at the party no matter if they were able to arrive in a costume or not; after all, the people and friends you've invited are more important and more special than the costumes itself. And make the atmosphere at the party fun, exciting, and memorable; because soon, it won't be the men's costumes they wore that they'll be remembering; it will be the fun time they had and the unforgettable experience they felt that they can keep for a lifetime.
