The masquerade theme party originated in 15th century Venice amongst the upper classes. It has now become a world wide phenomenon. The principal behind the masquerade theme party is that you would hide your identity behind a mask. It is important that nobody knows who you are for the party to have the proper effect. You will be amazed at what you can get away with when nobody knows your identity. Take a look at these masquerade theme party tips:
1. This party is an opportunity to wear the most flamboyant costume imaginable! Make sure you have an elaborate mask! Perhaps you can have a public unveiling at midnight?
2. Hire a professional photographer and have him take photos of your guests by a backdrop at the entrance. He can take many photos of your guests throughout the night.
3. Dim the lights and spread plenty of candles throughout the party room. Try and create an aura of mystery and suspense.
4. If you have a good budget, or you are charging the masquerade theme party to the company, consider hiring a string quartet. This would make the most suitable music for the occasion and create a memorable atmosphere your guests will never forget.
5. This is a grand occasion and the food should reflect this. Have name holders for the guests at the table. Fine china and candle light. If you’re on a budget, then finger foods will suffice. Go for Venetian or Italian whichever you go for.
6. For drink have champagne or wine in your best crystal glasses.
