Here are some tips, some things to think about when planning your party whether it be at Halloween or any time of the year.
1-Don't
sweat it if some people don't dress up. A portion of your guests just aren't
going to be comfortable with fancy dress or costume parties.
You
might offer masks, mustaches, hats, wigs for those who didn't dress up if they
want to try something on. If you have old costumes and accessories of your own
or from your kids' costumes this is a great way to use those. Or you can buy fancy costume jewlery online.
2-Also don't worry if people dress up
minimally. Like those who don't dressing up at all, you'll probably have some
who come in a hat or a T-shirt costume. At the same time some other friends
you'll barely recognize!
3-Consider a theme party. This can make it easier for guests to figure out costumes. If the theme
is Classic Hollywood, suggest an era with costume features or props to your
guests. It can still be a Halloween themed party but this would help that much
more with decor, music and costume.
4-
What to wear... If there isn't a theme there are always classic costumes to
fall back on in a pinch.
Old
bridesmaids' dresses, school or work uniforms could be worn. If you and no one
in your family will wear them again, think about donating them or having a
costume swap with friends. Think of colors. Black and white dress is a good color
combo. Think of a harlequin or Pierrot outfit. If the party is near or based on
a holiday choose colors associated with that holiday.
