Superheroes

The men can dress up as ‘Superman’, ‘Batman’, ‘Spiderman’, the ‘Phantom’, the ‘Hulk’, etc. The women, however, are not really spoilt for choice. They only have to choose between ‘Catwoman’ and ‘Wonder Woman’ or maybe even lesser heard of super ‘heroines’.

Cartoons

Wouldn’t that make for a pretty sight? It sure will. From kids to even adults, a fancy dress party that is about dressing up like a cartoon can always guarantee tons and tons of fun. Some of the more popular cartoons on the ‘fancy dress party circuit’ include ‘Popeye’, ‘Tom and Jerry’, ‘Olive’, ‘Pluto’, ‘Mickey Mouse’, ‘Goofy’, etc.

Go Hawaiian
This does not mean you go to Hawaii for a fancy dress competition. It only means you bring Hawaii to you, right to the confines of the fancy dress party held within the comforts of your own home. Women can wear straw skirts and floral tops. They can also complement the outfit with shells and garlands worn around their necks. The men can wear loose Hawaiian shirts paired with baggy shorts. A fancy dress party that builds on Hawaiian themes will add a fun and ‘beachy’ touch to the whole event.
