Costume party ideas and titles to get you started with your celebration. Some of the themes overlap but you might find one title may seem more catchy to you than another, or you may even come up with a new name yourself!
Take a look at the venue, consider how you could best dress it, and let the theme come rolling off your tongue.

Rubics Cube – I like this one because it involves guest interaction. The idea is that you come dressed in items of clothing in different colours, and by the end of the night you leave dressed in one colour. Probably a good costume to source from a second hand store. I don’t fancy the chances of getting all you hire gear back in time to avoid late fees.
Romance Novels- come dressed as you favourite romance novel character or book cover (look, I know it’s silly, but it’s funny too, isn’t it?) – imagine, a room full of fabulous Fabios! And his beautiful face.
