Costume parties are a terrific way to bring people together. Costume parties are natural ice breakers and allow individuals to express their personality through their fancy dress costumes. The costumes themselves are great conversation starters. Halloween is the obvious time to have a costume party when individuals are given free reign for their costume ideas. But when having a costume party during the year, sometimes setting a few parameters on the types of costumes guests are allowed to utilize can spice up the fun.

Letter Dress Up parties are becoming popular. For example, the invitations to the party can explain that all costumes at the party must have something to do with the letter M. You will be surprised at all the great letter M costume ideas people will generate. There are obvious costume ideas starting with the letter M: monster, Mickey Mouse and his girlfriend Minnie Mouse, as well as the cartoon superhero Mighty Mouse, the iconic Michael Jackson, and Michael Jordan all quickly come to mind. There are also other costume ideas starting with the letter M that are slightly more unique. An ensemble of guests could come dressed as the characters from the television show The Munsters or a group of guests could dress as Marvel superheroes. Kids costumes can include playful ideas such as movie stars or their favorite teacher from school, such as Mr. Smith or Miss Jones. Adult costumes can include clever ideas such as dressing up as M, the code name of the boss of James Bond. A couple in love could also simply each dress in a solid color and write the letter M on their chests in the classic M&Ms candy script, or you could just go straight for the M and M Costume.

Other costumes starting with M include dressing up as a magician for a letter M costume party. If you practice a couple of magic tricks before attending the party, your costume will stand out above the rest. If you are a fan of actor Simon Baker, you can dress up as his character “the mentalist” from the same named television show on CBS. There are quick and easy mental math magic tricks you can learn to give your mentalist character an edge against any competing magicians at the party. On the topic of television shows and movies, you could dress up as any number of characters from the mafia such as The Godfather or characters from the television show The Sopranos. The ideas for letter M costume parties are endless. The only real challenging part is deciding which one is right for you.
