But quote the Raven, "NEVERMORE".
Creative attire is now sold year around for a myriad of purposes. In fact, one company has Over 36,000 Low-Priced Party Supplies
 as well as costumes year round!
Think creatively and many wonderful ideas will be sure to overtake you. But don't forget the Accessories and Makeup
 such as Hats, Wigs and Masks
 !! Most obviously would be for
Theme Parties
such as Luau, Western or a specific decade like the 50's. Attendees are often asked to dress with the Specific Theme of the party in mind. Other occasions may have the host of the event giving out items like leis, hats, inflatable instruments within the theme framework. This puts each individual in the "mood" of the party and allows him to become a significant part of the party rather than an outsider. The partygoer becomes the party.
In a more elaborate expression of the same basic concept, it is
becoming more chic these days to have a creative Wedding that
revolves around a specific period theme such as Renaissance.
Just close your eyes and imagine the romantic images brought to
mind by having a Renaissance Wedding with the attendees attired
in period attire. A Bride being united in marriage to her
proverbial "Knight in Shining Armor" conjurers up mental images
of a simpler time when Chivalry was alive and well: Truly a
portrait of Camelot revisited. WOW!!
In the same light, a contemporary
Birthday Party
many times revolves around a specific theme or Licensed Character. A construction themed party - focused perhaps around "Bob the Builder" could have the birthday guest of honor dressed in a outfit to look like the main character. Guests could be given plastic construction hats and tools to be immersed in the fun.
