Every child has a character they favour, whether it is a ballerina princess, Harry Potter or a character from Twilight it is always a theme to plan a party around. If you keep to general characters such as a fairy it can also mean spending less money.
When you begin to organize a fancy dress party you should always clearly specify the theme on your invitations and choosing invites that coincide with your theme is always a great way of getting this message across immediately. If there are plans to make anything at the party such as hats this should be stated as well.
A popular idea to ensure that nobody feels under too much pressure to spend money is to suggest a generic costume party where everybody can come dressed in a costume of their choosing. This will mean that any fancy dress costume idea can be chosen be it a classic look such as a fairy princess, a cowboy or a pirate.
Encouraging your child to use their imagination when creating a fancy dress costume is always a great idea, most will enjoy putting it together themselves and it can actually become an original take on the chosen character. You may just need to add a few carefully chosen trademarks accessories to make the costume instantly recognisable.
Invite your child to contribute their own original ideas for putting their fancy dress costume together. Often it is from the children themselves that you will get the best input into what is important to them in a costume. The opinion you get from a five or six year old might be somewhat different to your own ideas.
Remember the underlying success of a great fancy dress costume party is to allow the fun element to take over and if you are having a mermaid party then don't worry too much about them getting wet as this undoubtedly will be the best part of the fun for them. Just ask parents to pack some dry clothes in case you need them.
Children with birthdays around Christmas and Halloween often feel cheated when their party is incorporated into seasonal celebrations. That does not need to be the case, especially at Halloween. We are not suggesting that the birthday party is held on Halloween night. Most houses leave the decorations up for a couple of weeks. What better way to celebrate a birthday than having a scary pirate party.
Halloween is the perfect opportunity to host a fancy dress party. You can stick to a Halloween theme such as monster and ghosts or go for a "free style", come as you like party. It is totally up to yourself. Whatever you decide make sure the invitation clearly states the dress code.
If you are expecting parents to go to the trouble and expense of sending their child to a fancy dress party, then as host, it is vital that you match those efforts. Some parents are great at organising games, others enjoy arts and crafts activities, the important point is that you make the most of your interests and strengths to ensure your fancy dress party is something special.
Before sending the invitations make sure you are prepared to put extra effort into the party plans and preparations. Make your guests feel as if the effort of organising a costume has been worthwhile. As with all parties the more effort you put in to the preparations the better the party will be.
