Costume ideas for an ABC party – Where everything but clothes – Goes
If you’re looking to have everyone come to your costume party dressed up, here’s a surefire way to make it happen. Host an ABC party. ABC means anything but clothes. You see, the problem with many costume parties these days is that the theme is often very restrictive and many people simply choose not to attend because they don’t have a costume in the designated theme. It can be a bit more difficult to get a good turnout at your party with such limited options for partygoers. The solution is an ABC Party.
Imagine being invited to a costume party in anything but clothes! The costume ideas are endless, if you go into your garage you can find duct tape, tool kits, boogie boards, cardboard, paint and the list goes on. Personally, I think a costume made entirely of duct tape would win best costume in the garage category.
For those who have a costume box, score! – anything in it will be excellent! You might have a prom queen sash, a chicken mask, a hat, and a pair of heeled boots. All of this would be totally and completely acceptable and expected at an ABC Party. The beauty of an ABC party is that it leaves a lot to the imagination of the person dressing up. You can be just about anything and it gives the partygoer plenty of room for creativity.
Another idea would be to use a liquid latex cover, then add a touch of glow-in-the-dark body paint, don a costume wig, a pair of costume sunglasses, and a wacky hat. Who really knows what you are, but then again, who really cares: it’s an ABC party, after all.
More fun ideas for your next ABC party now that you’re excited about the idea:
- Saran wrap – One roll should be enough
- Postage stamps: a bit pricey, I know… but you sure would be one of a kind!
- Stickers of any kind: you know you have a collection of them from your childhood, take advantage of them!
- Band-Aids: Everyone has them in their bathroom cabinet.
- Gauze: maybe boring and uncreative, but think about mom…or sexy mom?
- Cotton balls – Think stay puff marshmallow man
- Foliage – fake or real – What about Adam and Eve?
- Tar and Feathers – This Is Just For The Committed ABC Partygoer
- Tin Foil – Sexy Tin Girl or Tin Man!
- Surfboard bag, not sure how I would make his face pointy to be the fin, maybe also some cardboard and make some holes for the eyes.
There you go. A series of fantastic ideas for the times we live in. Remember that the costume party MUST go on! To make the most of the creativity and individualism of partygoers, keep the theme of the party open and host an ABC Costume Party this weekend. Anything but clothes, she says.
