Have you ever planned on a costume party before but didn't know where to start, and ended up asking for professional help? Arranging a party can be a real hassle, especially if you're in charge of everything. Choosing the theme, sending out invitations, decorating the place, deciding on the menu, picking out the adult costumes, the prizes, and entertainment for the guests are some of the most arduous tasks you'll face as a party planner. It is therefore important to plan all of these things beforehand, and asking help from your closest friends is a start. After all, they will be the ones enjoying the party with you.
Once you have decided to hold a costume party, first and foremost, settle on its theme (if there is one). The theme of the party should be exciting and fun and most of all, the women's and men's costumes for the said theme shouldn't be too hard to find or create. If the theme requires that the guests come in rare costumes, then they might end up wearing casual clothes and it might spoil the ambience of the party. Check if the decorations of the theme can fit into your location. Also, make sure that your budget can handle all the expenses for the event.
Ask help from friends and family, and do some brainstorming! It's always nice to get ideas from others especially when you're running out of it; the more plans you can think of, the more likely the costume party will be a success. Grab a pen and paper, and list everything you've discussed. After some more brainstorming and sleepovers, decide on which ideas you'll be using and which ones you can save in the meantime, in case the first chosen plans won't be feasible.
The age group is responsible in shaping the whole idea of a party. For instance, if the majority of guests are going to be children, then everything has to be planned as per the convenience of the children. The food, the theme, even the costumes, they are hard to find though. The food in this case has to be less messy and appealing. It's the opposite in the case of adults. Open bars and cocktail drinks are generally seen in a party which is attended by the adults in majority. Also, in contradiction of the children's, adult costumes are easily available.
When you have a chosen a date for the party, when to send the invitations should be also be thought of carefully. Never send an invitation too early or too near the said date. A month before the party should provide ample time for the guests to prepare for the children's costumes, adult costumes, or whatever the theme of the party is. Highlight on the invitation the theme for the party, and that it should be strictly abided to, or else suffer a secret consequence, which can add both excitement and curiosity for those who will be coming in complete costumes and those who won't.
No costume party is complete without prizes. Certain contests can be organized by the host so as to create some amusement, fascination and excitement. The contests can vary and are a personal choice. You can still go for the traditional "best costume" award for the best costume and the rest is left to your imagination. Prize distribution is something that fascinates everyone as everyone wants to win.
It is important for the guests to have fun, and some form of entertainment loyal to the theme should be waiting for them as they arrive one by one. The guests themselves are the life of the party, and even though they all look good looking In their fabulous women's and men's costumes, a party will eventually become boring if all they do is chat in the silent air. Suitable background music for the theme must be prepared and selected a few days before. Oftentimes, an emcee with great people skills and an interesting personality can be enough to provide the entertainment for the guests.
Do not forget to enjoy the party. Agreed that the guests should be happy, but you have organized the whole party. You have to enjoy the most, on your own as well as with the guests. The event's success is your success. So celebrate!!!
