It's Halloween. And that means that you probably have a fancy dress party to attend and you want to stand out. There are so many Women's Halloween costumes available, but it seems that everyone has the same one. Popular costumes tend to follow popular movies and tv shows that have been recently released.

One great way to achieve this is with accessories. Anyone can buy the costume. Take it one step further and add accessories and makeup to finish off the look. This will make sure your costume is unique and that is stands out. Whether you are trying to impersonate a particular person or character, or are going for one of the traditional scary costumes such as a witch or zombie, you will make sure you look the part.

Makeup can range from False eyelashes and a purple smokey eye, all the way to fake scars made from liquid latex. Using spooky colours and eyeliner, face paint and special fx makeup you can create a variety of spooky looks that will really add to your costume. There are lots of tutorials online that you will have great fun recreating. A good tip is to practice your Halloween look a couple of times in advance to make sure you get it right.

Other accessories that suit your costume might include stockings, gloves, glasses or jewellery. Adding matching accessories will enhance your Halloween Costume so that it stands out from the others.

It's not just kids who love to dress up.. big kids love it too! Dress up in Halloween costume allows us to be whoever we want for the day and can give us a new sense of confidence. Costume can be used to impersonate our heroes, make people laugh, or to give people a fright! It is also used to draw attention for promotions. It has been around for centuries and with so many options, it might be difficult to choose.

It all depends on what you want the costume for. If it is for a promotion, or for a particular occasion such as Halloween or Christmas, then you probably will have a theme in mind and the search is narrowed. However, if you have just received an invite to a fancy dress party, then the world is your oyster when it comes to fancy dress. But don't panic, we will help you figure out exactly what you're looking for so you're ready to go.

Maybe you are a film buff and have a favourite TV or movie character? Or maybe you're more of a bookworm and have a literary hero? If they are popular, there is probably a costume out there. Even if you can't find out, you can get creative and recreate their look using a combination of a costume and accessories or fancy wigs.

Some people don't like celebrities or characters, and that's ok. Maybe you are a fan of a particular era or decade. Some people adore the 1920's look, and that is really popular in fancy dress. Choose from flapper dresses with pixie cut wigs, pearls and cigarette holders or mob boss suits and hats. Perhaps you prefer the 1950's with it's poodle skirts and beehive wigs, and teddy boy jackets. Or relive your youth whether it was in the 60's, 70's, 80's or 90's. Dressing up to a theme like this is great fun, and it really narrows down your search. Be brave and choose big hair and bright colours to suit the decade so that others won't be in doubt as to what you're impersonating.

Schools usually enjoy a mid-term break for Halloween and just prior to this break they choose a day when everyone goes to class in costume, complete with all accessories including face paints. Children love it and parents love to take their photos as they head out to door.

Costumes for Halloween Horrors

Zombies, ghoulies and manic characters from history and fiction are favourites of most children who love to dress in costumes and pretend they are the ones who have come back from the dead to finish their business. The more blood and gore children can attach to their bodies and their outfits the better they are pleased. There are wonderful painted ‘Tattoo Sleeves’ to give the impression of a tat covered arm, latex wounds make them appear as if they’ve been mortally wounded with blood flowing from exposed flesh

Outfits for Halloween Magic

Not all children wish to appear grotesque and there are very many costumes for fairy princesses, wizards, and characters from Dickensian novels, Disney films and nursery stories for the very small.

While the former aim for shock / horror effect, the latter generate the ‘Awe factor’. They are dreamy, adorable and magical.

Regardless of which category fit’s your child, costume shops are chock-a-block with super-duper costumes at Halloween, it’s the best time to choose and buy from the greatest selection. Parents enjoy their childrens’ dressed-up appearance, take numerous photos and often keep the outfits as mementoes.

 Fancy dress costumes range in price from ‘quite cheap’ to ‘moderate’ and as in all things ‘you get what you pay for’, the cheaper options often fail the ‘child test’ and it’s often better value to pay a little more for better quality. This quality applies to style, finish, material and embellishments.

Many parents like to create their own monsters and fairy queens from garments they already own or even old strips of material. With some creative pinning and a little shopping in the Costume Accessoriese department they can add face and body paints, glasses, moustaches, beards fake hands, Elvis like belts, medallions, vampire teeth, magic wands, crude cudgels, fierce swords, whips and much more.w

Celebrate Confirmation and First Holy Communion in Style in 2019

January is the time when parents begin to think about their children’s First Holy Communion and Confirmation. The first Confirmations are performed as early as the end of January and early February, while First Holy Communions tend to occur from March onwards.

First Holy Communion / Confirmation Celebrations

Religious indoctrination is ongoing during the school year and peaks prior to the ceremony often with much rehearsal for the day. Outside of school, parents are shopping for outfits and planning the post Communion / Confirmation Party for extended family and close friends.

While many parents opt to entertain in a hotel setting, many others choose to remain in their homes. Regardless of which option is chosen all parents like to use themed decor for the party.

Themed Decorations

Begin by decorating the room with ‘Honeycomb Balls, Latex and Foil Balloons, Streamers and personalized Banners

Decorate the table in themed cover, plates, drinking cup and centerpieces such as Cupcake Stands and of course the ‘all-important cake. 

Communion / Confirmation Cake Decorations

Long before the big day, a parent or family member bakes the celebratory cake. It is iced and decorated with a religious theme, often to be transported on the big day. Good stores stock a range of roll-out icing, cake top decorations, cake boards, and boxes so the customer has a one-stop-shop for all the little bits and pieces

Personalised Party Decorations

Some families love to personalize the celebrations, especially if they are doing so in a hotel. Personalized balloons floating above the table with the child’s name give them a thrill when they enter what would otherwise be just another public space. Personalized banners are great for facilities that can provide a smaller room for just the family and of course, it’s always great to see the child’s name on a bespoke cake topper
