Fancy Dress ideas for any occasion
Fancy dress or costume parties are really popular all over the world, in recent years people have been really creative whenever there has been a family or friend's birthday, Halloween even New Year's Eve parties. There are some parties that tend to stick to a theme such as super heroes but the funniest and most interesting costumes tend to come about from parties where there is no theme and can make for plenty of laughs and intriguing photos from the party.

Super Heroes (Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman)

A super hero themed fancy dress party is a popular choice as there are plenty of movie and comic book heroes and villains to choose from. Your party may end up looking like a meeting of the Justice League but a function room full of superheroes eating buffet food is sure to raise a few smiles!
Pirates
Another popular costume ideas is dressing up like a pirate, you can speak like a pirate if you want but the iconic dress sense of swashbucklers and sea dogs is easy to achieve, the popularity of this category is possibly down to the recent Pirates of the Caribbean movies, where a lot of the men will be vying for the role of Captain Jack Sparrow.
Music Icons and pop stars
