Everybody loves a fancy dress party and with costumes now cheaper to purchase than ever, the number of fancy dress parties happening across the country is going through the roof. Whether you are having a children’s fancy dress party at your house, celebrating an event at a venue or taking your soiree out on the town, there are a multitude of ideas that can inspire the theme of your party.

Superheroes
Doesn’t everyone love to wear their pants outside their trousers? As well as the more well known Superman, Batman and Catwoman costumes, there are a number of less obvious choices such as He-man, Wonder Woman and Wolverine. Love those boots!

Vicars and tarts
For some reason, these parties are particularly popular with students. Maybe it is because the nun costumes are not just for the women and the vicar costumes are not worn just by the men. How could you not have a good time with cross-dressing nuns, friars, priests and mother superiors?

70s and 80s
Brash colours, Lycra leggings and white suits are the order of the day for these disco type parties. These costumes are crying out for the obligatory floppy wig, medallion and platform shoes.

Heaven and hell
As far as costume choices go, angels and devils are two of the best. Virginal angel costumes are great for the ladies whereas men love being a devil at these kinds of parties!

Halloween
The daddy of all fancy dress parties, Halloween is a time when your imagination can run riot. Ghosts, witches and slasher characters are always popular but the addition of make up, scars and prosthetics can help to make a truly gruesome impact!
