What to wear?
I'm throwing a big party on Saturday night, and my friends all insist that it have some sort of dress/costume theme.
I thought about a formal theme, but decided I didn't want my friends spilling their drinks all over their best clothes. :p
So...what should the theme be?
(We did a toga party last month, so that's out...)

Nudism.
Winter in Wisconsin is not conducive to such an idea. :eek:

How are we supposed to drink our drinks wearing that? :p

That could work. :)
...but I'd love to hear more ideas.

Ask where the nearest shop that sells traditional islamic clothing is. Find it. Pretend you're a teacher and that you need to borrow a niqab for educational purposes and that you can put a deposit down if they want. They need not know that it has been tainted by alcohol and tomfoolery. Just make sure you wash it good before you return it to get your deposit back.

...I saw a couple of Muslims praying at a movie theatre once before going in to see their show, but I don't know where they live. :p

Italian Renaissance. Or Musketeers. Or Soviet Russia!
Da. In Soviet Costume Parties, fur hats wear YOU!
some easy ones are:
maffia
a specific color (everyone wears pink for instance)
cross-dressing
tropical (serve lots of cocktails)
pirates
disco
it's better not to make your theme to specific, because otherwise not everybody will be dressed up because they couldn't find clothes.
for instance, it's much easier to crossdress than to wear BDSM-gear.

I went to a fancy dress party on Saturday and the theme was evil.
One of my friends came up with the greatest fancy dress idea in history...Hitler in drag.
I'd post pictures if I wasn't in work.

...I saw a couple of Muslims praying at a movie theatre once before going in to see their show, but I don't know where they live. :pFine then. I give up. And you should be ashamed to be living in the state Wisconsin when the perfectly adequate state of Illinois is so close. :p ... except for the pizza. If I wanted a pie I would have asked for a pie thank you very much.
*sigh*
You could always go with the ubiquitous tarts and vicars... the more deviant members of your social group will probably go as tarty vicars.
Priests and altar boys. :eek:
Altar boy robes are too hard to get. I had to wear them once. The whole experience was rather unpleasant.

- Golf pros (guys) and tennis hos (girls)
- Colour theme (I recently went to a "Green Mafia" party)
- Choose a decade
- Something tropical (eg. pick a theme fruity drink like a pina colada, and have tiki torches for decoration, etc.)
- Superheroes
I can imagine. :eek:
No, you might think you can, but you can't.

Not at all, I question the liklihood of you imaging anything close to what actually happened.

One of the best fancy-dress parties I ever went to was one where everyone dressed up like someone else who was going to the party.
Just find/steal clothes that your mate would wear, then cartoonise (that’s the technical term) your friend’s characteristics. Lot’s of fun, very funny, and potentially offensive!
What more could you want?
a specific color (everyone wears pink for instance)
tropical (serve lots of cocktails)
These would be good, as they are easy to do on short notice.

I can picture it...I'd just have to figure out where I can get a LOT of it. :p
A little BUMP for a few more ideas...though I think I may go with the tropical theme. Maybe someone will think of something better. :)
