How to Make the Best of a Good Fancy Dress Theme

Fancy Dress ideas are numerous. If your theme has already been decided for you in advance, or you have decided what theme you wish to dress in then you are ready to get started. But where to start? This article will give you some fabulous fancy dress ideas to feed your imagination.
If budget is an issue, then work out how much you wish to spend and then plan your outfit around this. Outfits can either be purchased from a retailer(more likely online these days), hired or, for the more adventurous, made. Remember, whichever avenue you choose to go down that Fancy Dress Outfits can be embellished with props, accessories, wigs, make-up, hats, jewellery etc to maximise their effect.
Here are some examples of what you can add to a costume to finish the look:
Bunny Girls - bunny ears, bow tie, stockings and suspenders, high-heeled shoes
Clown Costumes - red nose, braces, face paint, frizzy wig, clown shoes, squirt flower lapel, juggling balls or similar props
Pirates - pirate hat, eye patch, sword, hook, Bandanna, boots, face painted scars, beard and/or wig
Sexy/Erotic/Moulin Rouge - stockings and suspenders, high-heeled shoes/ knee high boots, flamboyant hair piece/hair clip, gloves, jewellery, eyelashes, panties
Uniformed themes - belts, hats, props(for example truncheon, gun, hand cuffs, fire extinguisher, glasses, stethoscope, briefcase, walkie talkie)
Once the costume is sorted, there is still more left to do. You can make huge use of your Fancy Dress theme during the party/event. The most obvious is a best dressed competition or best performing fancy dressed guest. This is all well and good but can often exclude the more shy and reserved guests. Another idea is to plan games where everyone is involved at the same time. Perhaps a murder mystery game with guests in character, or a karaoke sing out where guests try to sing in character, or maybe even a dancing game.
Another way to extend the Fancy dress theme would be to dress the room in theme. This could include simple party decorations such as balloons and banners or, for the more adventurous, using your venue as a stage with props, memorabilia, drapes, lighting and music etc.
Food and drink could also be theme relevant. Use your imagination and ask yourself 'what might pirates eat?', 'How can I make my food sexy?', 'Should my food be colour themed?', How can I make my food scary?' or 'What did they eat in the 1920s?' Do you see where this is going?
All these Fancy Dress Ideas may be all well and good, but to most of us are very daunting to execute well. Have no fear, help is available. The web is a fantastic source of inspiration and resource for finding help with your party. Google will find for you party planner websites, fancy dress websites, catering websites, recipe websites, games ideas and in fact anything you could possibly want.
Here are some excellent fancy dress ideas to inspire you.
