Today we give you ‘Fun & Games’ as our fancy dress suggestion.
Next year of course the Olympics are due to be held in the UK. So, today we celebrate great sporting achievements, as according to the Roman Catholic calendar it is St Sebastian’s day, who is the Patron Saint of Athletes. Given that this day in 1892, the very first official basketball game was played, the theme can be expanded upon, not only to reflect sports, but also Fun and Games. Those who have their own sports kit, might decide this is the easy option. But if you want to be more creative, why not consider looking at the theme from a different angle?
Characters from Cluedo, playing cards (Ace of Spades, Queen or King of Hearts, etc.), chess pieces (e.g. knight, bishop, queen, king), Trivial Pursuit categories, computer games (Mario Brothers, Lara Croft, Sonic The Hedgehog), Dungeons and dragons, war games, etc., are just some of the many avenues to explore with this theme.
Think about about other famous board games like Monopoly, you could even dress up in a convict costume and say you are in jail. All you need is a little bit of lateral thinking.
Think about what other countries class as a sport, for example, bull fighting in Spain and Rodeo in America. See some other possible costume examples below:
- Jockey Costume
- Matador Costume – okay, not to everyone’s taste
- Cheerleader costume
- Ninja Warrior – use for Martial arts
- Referee Costume
- Cowboy – Rodeo Rider
If you have been to a fancy dress party with this theme, why not drop us a line and let us know what you went as. It really does help others with their own costume ideas.
