A masquerade party is a chance to dress up in a beautiful costume and have a lot of fun. The planning of the costume can be as much fun as the party itself. There are so many different options for costumes that it will be hard to settle on just one. One of the most popular costume ideas is that of a character from the Renaissance. There are stores that offer King and Queen costumes from this time period.
There are also costumes for other members of the Royal Court. The costumes can range from something very simple such as jester, to something very elaborate the choice will be up to you. Some other costume ideas would be to dress as a fairy or an angel. There are also many costumes ideas available for the time period of the Civil War. Beautiful dresses like we saw in Gone With The Wind. Dashing uniforms and sabers. From the exotic to the outrageous A masquerade party is an opportunity to let your alter ego shine.
One of the most important things to think about will be your mask. These masks gained popularity in the 15 century when the Royals would give masquerade parties and they have been going strong ever since. there are many styles of masks to choose from. There are masks that will cover the entire face. Masks that cloak only some of the facial features that lend an air of mystery to the wearer. The mask can be very elaborate with scatterings of jewels and ones made of feathers. There are also just the simple black eye masks that are carried on a stick.
If you are on a tight budget one idea would be to buy a set of medical scrub uniforms along with a white coat a surgical mask and a stethoscope and go as a Doctor. Nursing uniforms would also be a good choice. You will want to start putting your costume together a week or more before the actual party. This will give you time to plan and time to make changes to the costume that you pick.
