Posted on May 14, 2010 by admin

If you are planning an eighties fancy dress party, you’ll want to make sure that all the little finishing touches are done to give your party an authentic feel. After you have chosen your 80’s costumes, you can then look at adding the extra touches to your party, and you’ll find loads of ideas on how to do this in the accessories section of the Fancy Dress Ball website.

There are things you can do yourself to give the room where you are holding the fancy dress party an eighties look. As well as hanging posters from that period on the walls, you could place a couple of eighties toys around the room, for example a Rubix Cube and Executive toys, like a Newton’s Cradle. And when it comes to the type of food you will be serving, don’t forget the cheese and pineapple sticks and prawn cocktails!

But the most important element of an eighties fancy dress party is of course, the outfit you will wear. If you are the hostess of the 1980s fancy dress party, why not consider a Madonna costume? She was perhaps the most famous face of the eighties, so you will certainly stand out if you do decide to choose a Madonna costume as your 80’s fancy dress. And if you wear a Madonna costume, how about your partner wearing an outfit from Top Gun? You will find these and hundreds of other ideas for 1980’s fancy dress on the website, so all you have to do is decide which look to go for!

Top Gun was another huge box office success, and an outfit similar to that worn by Tom Cruise is sure to be a big hit with the ladies when you turn up at your 80’s fancy dress party. And if you’re a bit on the tall side, you can always say that you’ve come as that bloke who was Tom’s sidekick in the film.
