Adult Costumes
While kids have trick-or-treating to look forward to every year, more and more adults are celebrating Halloween by getting a sitter and attending Halloween parties for grown-ups only. Parents of trick-or-treating kids can get so caught up in the fun themselves that they might forget some simple safety ideas that could save everyone some trouble. Having a fun and safe Halloween will make it all worthwhile.
Adult Halloween costumes are just as great-looking as the ones kids wear these days. Wearing a Halloween costume, one can go from a regular guy to an amazing airline pilot or a male trooper. The choices abound and the truth is that the prices are more than appealing. Let’s see what other types of classic costumes are in style right now!
Do you like stories? How about fairytales? Many people prefer adult costumes that remind them of the stories they read when they were little. This is probably one of the main reasons why the Hansel Halloween costume is in high demand right now. The Big Bad Wolf, the Indian Warrior and the Cave Man are just as popular, being considered classical choices. But the options do not stop there. One can also choose to come costumed as a ladies’ man, a simple mailman or even as the great Nero. Talk about some cool choices!
One of the most interesting adult costume categories you can find on our site is Super Heroes. If you’ve always pictured yourself as Spiderman, then there’s no better time than the present to purchase such a Adult Costume. You will definitely make an impression appearing like your favorite movie character. Is Spiderman your favorite? Then take a look at the adult costumes that depict this popular Marvel comic character. Other popular costumes remind one of Superman, Iron Man or the Incredible Hulk. For one night, you too can be a superhero. Which one do you like best?
Superhero costumes are perfectly suited for Halloween, with Wolverine, Batman and Spiderman at the top of the popularity list. Adult costumes also depict well-known characters from Justice League, Hercules or Robin. If you are a movie enthusiast, you can opt for a costume that reminds one of famous actors and the roles they’ve played. We are talking about a Halloween costume from the movie 300, an adult costume that presents you as Ken (Barbie’s partner) and even one showing the infamous Freddy Krueger from a Nightmare on Elm Street. These are just few of the choices you have and come to think of it, they are really amazing.
Think of all the great movies you have seen. Among the most appealing choices, you have the Dark Knight from Batman (scary and imposing), Borat (unique, there’s no doubt about it) and Willie Wonka from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. You can purchase adult costumes and appear as Elvis, Mike Myers or even as the Grinch who stole Christmas. And if you really want to go all out, then you have a CSI Jumpsuit available for purchase online. Nobody move anything, this is a crime scene! Does it sound familiar?
Whether you come costumed as an actor from Grease or Spiderman, you are going to have tons of fun at your Halloween party. It makes all the difference in the world to wear a costume and take pleasure in seeing what other people have decided to costume themselves into.
Adults like to have as much fun during Halloween as the kids do! Adult Halloween parties tend to be much wilder than children’s parties with dancing, alcohol use and catered food. Using common sense can make a party a great one and avoid anything that may ruin it.
Adult Costume Tips
Keep an eye on the drinking; don’t let it get out of hand. Take the keys away from anyone that may be driving. Have one person stay sober and offer to drive those people home who may be too intoxicated to drive.
When deciding on a menu, check and see if anyone attending the party has food allergies that might be a problem. Common food allergies to dairy products, peanuts and shell fish can really put a damper on the festivities.
Planning ahead for problems can make all the difference for your Halloween party!
Often the Halloween invitations you see at party stores are a bit candy corn-y for adult tastes. If you are looking for something more unique and a bit spookier, you can get really creative. No one does Halloween for adults better than Martha Stewart, so check out her website for some chillingly perfect Halloween invitations (like the severed finger- don’t forget!) invitation you can assemble or create.
You’re going to want your house to be spooky- not cute. Invest in the 100-tea light bag, ditch the electric lighting and illuminate your house with candlelight only. Replace white Christmas window candle lights in your windows with flickering orange bulbs for an eerie effect. Silhouettes on mantels and in windows create dramatic flair, and be sure to have haunted organ music playing in the background (look for Midnight Syndicate music).
Halloween Party: Adult Costume Contest
Requiring adult costumes for grown-ups is a must-do for your invites. To reward party attendees for their creativity, have an adult costume contest. A simple form for everyone to vote for their favorite costumes at the party can be available near the punch bowl. Categories could include Funniest, Scariest, Prettiest, Most Original, Best Couple, and Best Overall. Bottles of Vampire Wine (available in most liquor stores) are a perfect prize, and you can get gold headless “Skelly” award trophies online as well.
Halloween Party Favors
An easy way to give favors at your party is to have a Polaroid camera or digital camera with printer close by to take pictures of guests as they arrive. With craft foam, you can make black or candy-corn style ‘frames’ to attach the photos - include a caption “Smith Halloween Bash 2009″ and magnet tape on the back, and guests will have a souvenir remembrance of your party for years to come!
Most of all, your adult Halloween party is about having fun - don’t forget to include a big bowl of trick-or-treat candy to bring out the little kid in everyone. Spook on!
