Ok, so you have decided that your next party will by fancy dress. Costumes will be required, and everyone has to dress up.

But what on earth are you going to choose as a theme? Most people fall into two categories at this point, those who have too many ideas, and those who have none!

So here are a few great ideas and suggested costume ideas to match, to narrow your choices. And don't worry, there are plenty of online adult costume shops that stock these sorts of items.

Angels and Demons

This is idea is one of my favourites, as it gives people two 'sides' to choose from. Those that want to be Angels can buy Adult Fairy Costumes, Angel costumes or something similar.

Wands would be good, large costume wings will stand out, and a little (or large!) halo to wear on top of your head will just cap off the Angel fancy dress outfit.

 

Demons can be just about anything with horns and a tail! You can quite readily find great Demon costumes in bright red colours, or maybe bend the definition a bit and go for a Gothic costume, Vampire or something similar.

The Retro Party

Get down and boogie!

Retro fancy dress parties really open the door to lots of great costumes. You can go for the disco cowboy look, girls can dress up in 'go go girl' costumes (complete with knee high boots!), or you can go for the John Travolta look, with tight pants, tight shirt with lots of chest hair.

Or, just to be a little different, how about a roller girl costume? Turn up on skates to really get people's attention!

The other great option is a Hippy Costume. Peace man! grab some big gold chains, a short tight skirt, some platforms, and boogie with the best of them as a 60's Hippy.

A 'P' Party

Got you thinking now haven't I? A 'P' fancy dress party is for any costume that starts with the letter 'P'.

P is a great choice because there are lots of costumes that begin with P, such as Pirate costumes, Princess costumes, pimp, porn star(!) and more.

This odea gives people a good number of choices, and you will surely find a wide range of costumes at a party like this, some will be very creative!

Movie Themes

There are heaps of great movie themes that you can choose for a fancy dress party. Harry Potter, Star Wars and other great movies can give you lots of ideas. Either tell people to come as any movie character, or be more specific.

Often younger kids in the same age group will all like the same show or movie, so Dora or Diego might be good ideas for costumes, or Harry Potter.

I hope these ideas give you a good place to start as you look for great ideas for your next fancy dress party.
