Get your tickets, get your invites, get your circus costumes and get ready to have loads of fun. A circus dress up party is the most fabulous theme for a party, be it a child’s birthday party, a teen’s birthday party and an adult’s party, for any celebration. If you are throwing a circus party you can really get into the theme. If this is an adult party, hire a marquee! If it is a child’s party a marquee might be a bit expensive but you can always decorate your garden to look like a marquee! Guests can dress up as ringmasters, lion tamers, trapeze artists, clowns, jugglers, and pretty much anything they choose. You can collect tickets at the door, which would be the invitations, and then give the kids tickets for the different games and different food stalls. And yes, you can have food stalls, one for popcorn, one for cold drinks, one for burgers and one for hot dogs, or similar. You can hire a clown to do a show, and perhaps you can juggle. Juggling can be a game, so can musical clowns! You can pretty much do anything.

Circus food and circus decor

A big part of a fancy dress party is always the food and the decor. You can have your costumes from costumes stores online or offline and now you have to plan the rest. Buy a whole lot of coloured streamers and string them all around your make shift marquee. Get flags and hang them all around, spread sawdust on the floor and have a few ball pits. If it is a child’s party, get someone, an adult, to play the ringmaster and someone else to play the fool.  You can play any child’s party game and adapt it to a circus them too. Circus costumes are such fun to make or you can take the easy route, buy them online.

Parents will tell you that the Queen of Hearts costume, together with the Alice in Wonderland costume, are always the most popular costumes amongst girls. All young children love the Alice in Wonderland stories and adventures and they all identify with the different characters. Alice in Wonderland is one of those books that kids really find escape in. They are able to fantasise and believe that anything is possible and that anything can happen. They learn the difference between good and evil, they learn about strength, just from reading these beautiful stories, and they all like to imagine they are part of the good, the magical and the fantastical. And that is why the Alice in Wonderland parties and Alice in Wonderland dress up costumes are so popular. They are about magic and who doesn’t want a bit of magic in their lives.

If you are looking for the right Oktoberfest costumes for women, it is crucial to know what to wear for Oktoberfest. Read on as we give you some ideas for dressing for Oktoberfest.

Dirndls

Women can wear whatever they want but if you want to get down with German folk culture then you should consider wearing dirndls. When putting together your dirndl, you should have a white blouse with puffy sleeves, and an apron that is tied with a ribbon. The side should denote the availability of the wearer.

Layer out your outfit

If you are attending the festival you should remember that it can get super chilly during Oktoberfest so you should layer out your outfit. While your skirt, blouse, apron and bodice might be fine during Oktoberfest, it is advised to layer your outfit. You can get a cute cardigan downstairs with a pair of nice stockings. Partner your costumes with a hat if you have a face that adores the kind of adornment.

Throw on some boots on your feet or flat sole shoes. You should get whatever you feel comfortable with. Avoid wearing high heels because you will fall over on the floorboards at the beer hall.

Know the right length for your dirndl

You can go for a long ankle-length traditional cut, the legs revealing mini or the modest midi. The choice is yours and whilst some might advise against the mini, they are just being prudes. You can show off your pins if you wish to do so.

A note on the right dirndl sizing

Because you will be dancing around in your Oktoberfest costumes, if you are doing it right, you do not want to choose a dirndl that is too short. You should pinch the fabric around the waist so you can be 100% sure that you have enough room to move in.
