Past epochs and ancient civilizations still fascinate us today. Costumes of Greek goddesses, Egyptian pharaohs, Roman legionnaires or Aztec warriors are ideal for an antique theme party.

The antique costumes have one disadvantage: you have to rent or buy them. Do-it-yourself is not always possible. But you can also wear them on other occasions - such as carnival or Halloween and dress up again as a Greek goddess or pharaoh from Egypt.

2. New Year's Eve Theme Party Middle Ages

If you could travel back in time, would you choose the Middle Ages? Not only knights and queens have an authentic charm, but also the costumes of jesters and peasant women. Other ideas from this era would include Jeanne D'arc, William Wallace from Braveheart and Robin Hood.

Winter theme party: Winter Wonderland

If you want to organize a theme party in winter, then the theme is "Winter Wonderland" (in English "Wonderland"). It is inspired by the English song of the same name, in which the author describes a beautiful winter landscape. This landscape became the backdrop for many Christmas parties. Over time, other winter fairytales also gained popularity and together they formed an eclectic magical world that the party organizers keep reinterpreting at Christmas. As versatile as the fairy tale characters are, they all have one thing in common: They have moved in completely in white or in white and blue and live in a world where snow and ice rule.

Winter magic theme party: Frozen

If you are planning a theme party for families with children, you can take inspiration from the Disney film "Frozen". All of the film characters have beautiful costumes that you can easily find in stores or make yourself. You can also book a "make-up fairy" who will conjure up happy motifs on the children's faces with watercolors. Create a buffet where adults can chat and fun is guaranteed for young and old.

If, on the other hand, you are invited to a theme party on the subject of winter magic, then creativity is required. Before you begin, find out about the dress code. In many cases, guests are asked to dress in white or light blue. However, if the organizers are planning a fancy dress party, then you need to plan the outfit in advance. Pair a simple maxi dress with a faux fur bolero, wear floral headpieces or a crown. Complete the outfit with vintage jewelery made from antique silver.

Winter Wonderland themed party costumes for men and women

If you're invited to a winter wonderland themed costume party, there are plenty of fairy tale characters to choose from. Forest fairies with voluminous wigs and eye-catching face make-up, forest spirits, flower children, tree keepers and elves are just a few of the possibilities. Your imagination has no limits. If you already know the other guests, you can ask them how they will dress up. If that's not the case, you should opt for a simpler outfit. Then don't risk being the only one in a costume.

Glitter and glamour: burlesque dancers

Especially on New Year's Eve, many parties have a dress code. If you're invited to a 'glitz and glamor' themed party, you need to find out in advance whether the party will have a 1920's touch or if the dress code is simply 'gold and black'. If the party organizers were inspired by the movie "Great Gatsby", then you should opt for an opulent costume. For example, the women can dress up as a cabaret dancer and wear a shimmering sequin dress or a loose Charleston dress with fringes. A matching headdress with feathers effectively completes the outfit. The men's fashion of the 1920s, on the other hand, can be described as conservative and classic. A pinstripe suit, a plain tie and suspenders with rhinestones create a stylish look that is effectively rounded off with a fedora hat.

If the organizers interpret the topic in a modern way, then you don't need to worry too much about your outfit. A mini dress in black, the matching golden jewelry or a black blazer, golden shirt and black jeans and the party outfit is already put together.
