Movie Star Fancy Dress
Fancy Dress Themes For 2011 by Gemma Brind
Fancy Dress parties continue to grow in popularity every year and this fun filled trend shows no sign of letting up. Dressing up in comical, fantastical or sexy costumes make for better photographs, more laughs and consequently more memorable parties, hence the widespread choice of many a host. Venturing into your local town or nightspot of choice dressed in costume can only add to the pleasure and amusement of the evening. Costume clad groups are of course easily recognised as revellers celebrating an occasion, whether it be a birthday, stag/hen do etc and therefore more likely to be awarded with the all important free entry, complimentary drink or attention grabbing dj shout out. And what a conversation starter.
With the ever increasing competition and depressing economic situation at present, bars, clubs and event organisers strive to create eye catching themes and selling points to fill their venues and fancy dress is regularly the focus.
Here we highlight the top ten themes for costume parties in 2011. The Fancy Dress ideas chosen are fresh, funky, imaginative and most importantly extremely versatile so as to allow your invitees the freedom to use as much or as little creativity as they wish, with the same flexibility attributed to individual budgets.
1.Song/Movie Titles
The idea of this theme is for partygoers to attend as a person or even an object from a Song or Movie Title. I have merged these two themes together as they are so similar but I would recommend choosing just one. Either would be a great choice as it gives you the chance to be as imaginative or as literal as you wish.
2.London Tube Stations
Partygoers can attend as a person associated with the station location or as something more literal in regards the name.Elephant and Castle would be very entertaining.
3.MTV
Full of numerous options including every pop and rock star ever born along with numerous shows past and present made famous by the MTV channel. Ideas that would stand out amongst the Lady Gagas and Michael Jacksons;
16 And Pregnant, Daddy’s Girls, Hogan Knows Best, Jackass, My Super Sweet 16, South Park, The Freshers.
4.Coloured Names
The idea is to dress up as a fictional character or famous person with colours for names. A diverse array of personalities await to create an extremely interesting mix; Cluedo Characters, Bobby Brown, Cilla Black, Pink, Sirius Black, Gordon Brown, Red Riding Hood, Barry White, Goldilocks, Chubby Brown, Snow White.
5.Beginning With The Letter…
Choose a letter (or two) or instruct your invitees to come dressed in costumes beginning with the letter of their first or last name. Another example of a fancy dress theme allowing the revellers to have the freedom to be as creative or as thrifty as they wish and certain to inspire a great mix of costumes.
6.What You Wanted To Be When You Grew Up
A great way to learn something that you never knew about your friends.
7.Bad Taste
Not for everyone but some of the funniest costumes I have ever seen have been at bad taste themed parties and they are certainly growing in popularity.
8.Famous Couples/Pairs
A great costume party theme as there are so many characters to choose from, plus all single partygoers are able to attend as one half of a famous couple (maybe offer prizes for those who attend and find their other half at the party). The theme is also adaptable to same sex groups.
9.British Counties/Towns/Cities
Since ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ hit our screens our perception of British Counties and the stereotype associated with them has been magnified. Choose this as a fancy dress theme and ask everyone to dress as something associated with a British County, City or Town.
10.Geek Chic
The Geek theme is a great example of an idea that can be easily adapted to suit any budget and any imagination. Think plasters on knees, rubiks cube chains, lunch boxes, parker jackets, bow ties, braces, knee socks, brogues, scrabble rings. All very fashionable and screaming GEEK!
