Here is an important tip for you, Tip - if you are going to all the trouble of organising a costume party and you want your guests to come dressed in theme, leave out the words “costume optional” on the invitations.

Decorations
If you plan to decorate your house/party area in theme, start searching for decorations at least four weeks before the date of your party. (I start looking for decorations at least three months before the party so I have plenty of time to find everything.
Some examples of the decorations you might think about are - the red carpet for a Hollywood party; a mirror ball for a disco party; coffins for the Halloween party. Don't be afraid to ask friends or search the Internet for other ideas too.
Music
Try to include some music that may be appropriate for your theme.

The Menu
Plan your menu at least a week ahead. Try to find food appropriate for your theme. For example for Halloween I search the Internet for “Halloween food”. You don’t have to have all the food in theme, but it makes the table look more interesting if some of it is in theme.
Enlist the Help of Others
If you have a lot of people coming, enlist the help of friends or older children to help with passing the trays of food around.
You can enquire at the local TAFE for hospitality students who may be interested in earning a little extra money to serve your guests too.
The Most Important Tip of All
You've put a lot of effort into organising your fancy dress party so be sure to:
Enjoy your party!!
