When deciding on what you want to dress up as at an up coming costume party there are a few things you should first consider:

3. Are you going solo, as a couple or a group?

• Solo Costumes

Lets ignore the questionable reasons as to why you would be going out alone dressed up in costume. Famous people who work alone include Bettle Juice, Batman (Dark Night Verison ofcourse) and Wonder Woman.

• Couple Costumes

Call it cute or disgustingly loved up but couples in co-ordinating costumes has seen a big up turn in the last few years. It doesnt have to be that he’s your Superman and your his Super Girl, do everyone a favour and be a little more creative. After all why make enemies out of every single woman at the party??

How about sending your boyfriend along as a dalmation then showing up as Cruella de Ville!

• Group Costumes

To really make the most of a fancy dress party, group theme’s are the way to go. Be it Comic Book hero’s – Maybe the whole justice league! Or what about having your own StarWars Re-inactment on the dance floor. Or my personal favourite – a bunch of banana’s and a few Gorilla’s to chase them.

4. Do you want to be Sexy or just plain hilarious?

Its an issue often over looked, but a costume party can be the ulitmate seduction situation if you play your cards right!

Ladies love a guy in Uniform and what could be better than going for a prince charming or White Navy Officer Costume like the one Richard Gere Wore in the Film An Officer and a Gentle Man.

And ladies… well lets face it – it’s an opportunity to be as slutty as you like and blame it all on the night thats in it. Who needs a better excuse than that.

When deciding on what you want to be at an up coming costume party there are a few things you should first consider:

1. Who else is going to the party and what are they likely to go as?

If your going on a Hen Night or Stag Party the chances are that nearly anything goes, on the other hand if your niece is having a sweet 16 fancy dress party just imagine the conversation with your granny trying to explain why the below costume is supposed to be funny:

2. Where is the Party Going to take Place?

I remember going to a costume party in a nightclub where one genious arrived in a wet suit with snorkle, flippers and all. Good costume idea right? Wrong! After an hour of sweating buckets and toasting himself alive the ambulance carted him off, for a fun filled night of rehydration via a drip and several days off work. So if its going to be in a warm function room or nightclub less is more and if its outdoors make sure you choose something warm:
