Import Costumes

Everyone loves Halloween. Dressing up in costume can be fun at any time of year. Here are some ideas for costume parties year-round.

A costume wedding reception can make a special occasion memorable for everyone. Consider having a standard wedding ceremony with a costume reception. Provide an assortment of wigs, masks and basic costumes for those who don’t quite believe invitation. Some people who have attended costume receptions have called them the best weddings they have ever attended.

Valentine’s Day is a great excuse for a romantic couples costume party. Guests can attend as great romantic couples, such as Romeo and Juliet or they can be a bit bawdy, such as an electric outlet and plug.

The summer solstice can be marked with a “pagan party”. Guests can dress as hippies, druids, gypsies, witches and other spiritual characters.

Patriot parties can be used to mark national holidays. Dress up as someone in the armed forces, Uncle Sam, the Statue of Liberty, Betsy Ross or other patriotic characters.

Many people have the makings of Christmas costumes. They would appreciate an excuse to wear their Santa or Mrs. Claus costumes an additional time. Guests could also arrive as angels, elves, Magi, Christmas trees, reindeer etc.

The Oscar (movies), Emmy (television), Tony (theatre) and Grammy (music) are fun times to host a costume party. Guests should wear costumes related to the field being honored.

Likewise, the Super Bowl, the World Series, the Stanley Cup Finals and NBA championships can be more fun to watch if everyone wears sports related costumes.

Costume parties are not just for Halloween. Put on a costume and any event automatically becomes more fun and memorable.
