Arabian Nights theme party costumes

"My husband and I are organizing a theme party and we have invited three more couples. While we announced in the invitation that the theme is Arabian Nights, it is not mandatory for anyone to wear a costume though we expect that almost everyone will have something related to Arabian Nights. My husband is rather shy and he is only planning to use a turban which he received as a gift during a business trip to Kuwait, but I plan to dress up like a dancer. How can I prepare a costume for myself and what else can we do to entertain our guests?"

In that context, it is an excellent idea to organize parties where you can invite other couples (preferably without kids). This gives you an opportunity to talk and really get to know each other.

Theme parties are a great improvement since wearing a costume and getting into the theme relaxes everyone. That way everyone has a great time and sometimes a different aspect of one's personality is revealed. Proper, sit-down formal meals are fine but it is good to have some variety as well.

For the Arabian Nights theme, what we would suggest is that you better not try to make the costume on your own. Most American women do not have anything that can be improvised. It is best to simply buy an Arabian Nights costume online. They are fairly inexpensive and come as a kit. Our favorite is the Arabian Princess Costume that comes in many colors. To make the appearance completely authentic, it even has a veil. You can add jewelry on your own if you wish.

What we also like about this costume is that it is something that you can wear in front of people that you don't know very well. It is very attractive, not revealing, and totally aligned with the theme of your party.

There are a few other things you can do to make your party more lively:
  • Middle-eastern music
  • Middle-eastern snacks
  • Entertainment, e.g., dancing. I think you don't have to be a professional to dance a little bit and ask other couples to join.
