subject: Dressing Up Your Christmas Party [print this page] If you, like many others, are tired of the same old party and find that people start to leave earlier than expected then it may be time for a change in plans. An idea is to make your party a fancy dress party where guests can come in an array of different costumes from many eras.
Fancy dress parties are great fun and there is always the anticipation of what everyone is going to dress up as. The fun and laughter that can be had from a fancy dress party will stay with everyone for years to come as you will have many pictures and videos to look back on and remember. It is not every day that you can have Batman, Bart Simpson and Wonderwoman in the same photograph and it is certainly something that will have everyone talking.
Office Christmas parties are always good fun and by making them fancy dress so can be sure the office will be buzzing when everyone returns to work as their normal selves. You can even make them more fun by coming up with a prize for the best costume as this will give everyone a reason to put more effort into their costumes. You will be surprised to see how much a prize can bring out everyones competitive nature!
Choosing a fancy dress costume can be tricky but only because there are so many options available. If you are organising a fancy dress party it is best to set a theme, for example make it a 70s theme or from a certain film (but if you choose a film, make sure there are plenty of characters to choose from). Having a theme gives everybody a starting point at least. There are costumes of many types available including superheroes like Batman and Superman and cartoon characters such as Bananaman.
There have been many blockbuster films recently and these characters are available to purchase and are very impressive. You could have a good guys versus bad guys party and mix up people who come as villains with those who come as the heroes and good guys. Fancy dress spans many different parties and you can buy them all online. They are great for stag and hens parties with all the traditional accessories available for your special night.
