Halloween Costumes – Being Different
We all know that Halloween Costume parties are very popular, after all, it’s fun to dress up. Plus I’d rather have my kids home with me at a party than out on the streets Trick or Treating! It’s great fun to have everyone all dressed up playing party games and making easy Halloween crafts.
Now comes the tough part, trying to find a fun Halloween costume that’s a little different. No one wants to show up in the same costume. There are certain costume themes that always seem to show up in duplicate. Ghosts are popular and so are vampires (this year I suspect it will be the fangless Twilight Saga vampires!). Witches are another popular party costume. So how do you find a unique costume that no one else will have on?
Vampire Costume
Even if you wear a vampire costume you can make your character a little different.
Wear some fake tanner and go as George Hamilton…remember he was a tanned Dracula in a movie! Find something distinctive to add to your costume to make it unique. You don’t have to spend a lot of money either, you can find accessories in your house. Just give it a little thought.
Funny Costumes
You can also choose one of the funny Halloween costumes that are out. I don’t think many people will go as a Woopie Cushion, a Toothbrush or a Baby in a Highchair…so any one of these would be a very unique, funny costume choice.
Couples Costumes
There are also some funny couples costume ideas for that special pair who likes to do everything together. Why not go to your party dressed as a Fork and Spoon, or a His & Her Plug & Socket Costume.
Group Costumes
The funniest group costume I ever saw was the Smurfs.
Everyone had on white pants, blue shirts and knit caps…and their faces were painted blue…very cute! You could also go as the entire crew of the Star Ship Enterprise wearing Star Trek costumes.
Here are some Halloween costumes you can look at and see if you don’t find a good one that you like, and that is a little different than anyone elses! You can find infant, kids, pet, adult and Teenage Halloween costumes online.
Wickford, UK (PRWEB UK) 23 January 2012
All Fancy Dress, one of the UKs leading costume retailers, is gearing up for what promises to be the biggest World Book Day yet. On 1st March 2012 schools up and down the country will be celebrating World Book Day, an annual event that encourages children to read more. Many of these schools actively encourage pupils to dress up as their favourite fictional characters as well.
According to Matt Foden, Marketing Director of All Fancy Dress, Its great to see more and more schools encouraging pupils to wear fancy dress costumes to their World Book Day events. For younger children the act of dressing up as a fictional character really helps them to bring the books to life. And anything that encourages more children to read has to be a good thing!
The costume retailer has reported a 200% increase in sales of Book Day costumes over the last three years. According to Matt, the period leading up to Book Day is now our second busiest period of the year, and there is every indication that demand is set to increase over time.
The two most popular kinds of childrens fancy dress costumes during this period are, according to All Fancy Dress, Harry Potter outfits and also the Wizard of Oz range. However, more and more children are taking to wearing historical costumes as well, especially from the Victorian and Medieval eras.
