Theme Parties Need Themed Supplies

So you want to throw a different type of get-together for your friends. Check out our Party Supplies section and get some fun ideas!

We have 50’s cutouts, cheerleader pom poms and a rock’n’roll record centerpieces. Use our 3-packs of vinyl records to hang from above or place wherever you need a little something. A “Rock ‘n‘ Roll Banner” tells everyone that rock ‘n’ roll is here to stay.

A disco ball may be from the wrong era, but what the heck? Our 20th century costumes section has 50’s pink ladies jackets, sock-hop outfits or T-birds costumes, OR a variety of hip, disco ensembles. Choose one era or both!

A Hawaiian themed party could use our inflatable palm tree, or click on Luau for more great additions like grass skirts, plastic leis, straw hats, temporary hula girl tattoos and Hawaiian print clothes, even for your dog!

A witches’ hat that sings “Do you Believe in Magic?” might be a cute twist for a Harry Potter party – like the Sorting Hat’s cousin! We've got a Hogwarts Banner, a few different cauldrons and even Dobby the House Elf in our Props and Décor section, plus costumes like school robes, and accessories like scarfs and glasses.

And don’t even get us started with the Halloween decorations! We’ve got a classy skull chandelier and a nicely matching skull wreath with black leaves for the door... new labels for your wine or soda bottles to make them seem like “witches brew” or other scary concoctions... and Whisper the Ghost’s eyes to cover your windows, plus much more in our Props & Décor section!

At Moon Costumes, we’re not just about costumes, but we’re all about the fun.

Not Too Early to Think Halloween

It's a good time to think about themes for a great Halloween party – a good source is the Portrait section of our Props and Décor page.

Use the Medusa to scare guests into remembering their Greek mythology. The sight of her snakey-hair is bad enough, let’s just hope it doesn’t turn your guests to stone. Create a mythological monster theme by using our Dragon from European mythology and/or the Egyptian Mummy from our Animated Props section.

Admiral Howl, Red-Eye Ralph and Howling Harry might also fit into the mythological monster’s party, since the Greeks called them lycanthropes. But you could build a whole theme around werewolves! Throw a full moon bash and serve bone-shaped cookies. Serve beer in cans that resembles silver bullets, play songs like “Hungry Like the Wolf” by Duran Duran and “Werewolves of London” by Warren Zevon. Show “American Werewolf” or “Teen Wolf” on a screen in the background, and howl a lot.

A portrait of Victor Vamp would go nicely at a Vampire-themed party. Hosts could choose their look from our selection of vampire costumes, and we’ve, cute Hanging Props like a door hanger and bouncing vampire, creepy Animated Props like a dropping vampire, a weird walker life-size puppet, makeup, wigs and anything you’d need.

Impress guests with your haunted heirlooms that display family phantasms, like Mistress Claudia, Doctor Satorus, Widow Gore and Mr. and Mrs. Alastare. Then use a cobweb machine, a fog maker and a haunted hotel CD from our Special Effects section to give your spooky house a truly creep-tacular feel.

And for a more fiesta-like feel, make Lustful Loletta the centerpiece of your black velvet-style portrait collection. Loletta wears a sombrero, so you can serve guacamole and red margaritas while showing “From Dusk Till Dawn”, the vampire film set in Mexico.
