subject: Going To A Costume Party? [print this page] When there is a costume party going on, it is great to come up with group costume ideas. Keeping it original and cool is the best way to do it. If you really think about it, we are sure that you can come up with something. Luckily for you, we can help you out if you are having a problem with it. We will cover political inspiration, cultural inspiration, and common life inspiration.
Politics
Politics are huge and constantly in the media, especially during the races. There are many ideas that you can pull your ideas from. You could take a comedic route and go for the cast of The Daily Show or the Colbert Report. You could take a group of republican or democratic cronies. Or you could even get creative with what politicians from history you would like to represent. For example, you could take the administration from the Kennedy era or even just the Kennedys in general. What political activists are you fond of? What politicians or political activists do you find to be worthy of mocking? There are many options and it is easy to turn this into a group deal.
Consider Pop Culture
Pop culture is one of those things that is easy to really get inspired from. You may see a funny movie or show. You may hear about some ridiculous celebrity or musician. You could even take from books and other forms of entertainment. What about people that arent necessarily actors or musicians, but famous anyway? Reality television stars make a lot of waves in the world of pop culture and they seem to do some of the craziest things. The mainstream musicians are getting more and more strange and they dress up in some interesting costumes, as well. You could always dress up like Lady Gaga or use some sort of flashback of someone from the past. Marilyn Manson and ICP will always be recognizable and always be hilarious to a huge group of people.
With all of the ways to go, it is a wonder so many people dress in the same costumes. Keep it original and it really should impress people. What about your favorite musicians? What about your favorite bands? If you are looking for a family group costume, you could look into The Fresh Beats Band, for example. What about some of the characters from your childrens favorite show.
Make sure you avoid being unoriginal, because making an impression counts the most when it comes to parties-well, it comes second to having fun, anyway!
Everyday life
Everyday life can provide for you some pretty great ideas, as well. We go to the store and we find all kinds of silly things. You could dress up like those made for television kitchen appliances. Or you could even be the Sham wow guy. You could dress up like condiments, though we are sure those are used often. Pick your favorite electronics. Maybe dress up like a Kindle, iPod, or even some outdated ideas.
Finding group costume ideas should be easy as long as you just look around and stick to remaining original.
