    Cowboys, sailors, air hostess, pink ladies, 60's...

    That's all I can think of for now

    Would you prefer everyone to look similar? Depending on how good everyone's imagination is could you link it to the theme of your wedding. For example, if you have a beach theme, then that's the theme of the fancy dress. So people can have fun making up their own outfits but still the theme is there. X

    I'm having a nightmare with fancy dress too! The older ones just don't agree to anything! And we've put a cross lots of ideas that can be adapted to individual taste! Put forward Where's Wally now but bet that gets turned down too! Xx

    I went on a Hen Do last year and everyone bar the hen, bought the same red air hostess outfits.
    The Hen wore a pilot outfit ..... it looked ace! People even thought we had actually just come off of shift lol
    You can get the outfit on the bay of e. Be warned though as they do come up small so you prob need to buy a size bigger.

    No they werent thats short actually! Mainly because we all had to get a size bigger!

    Cops & Robbers? Have your Hen as the cop?

    Could incorporate some games/dares into it by having a Swag bag?

    grannies hahahahahahaha I love that so much xDDDD

    the boy is going on a stag do and they are doing sh1t shirt night. You should SEE the abomination he has bought - i like the idea of a bad taste night haha

    they also considered goat legs.... a quick search and you can actually get goat leggings <_< some people buy some weird stuff hahaha

    Superheroes/villains

    The only reaso id go against wheres wally is everyone seems to do it

    I saw someone dressed up as a jokey with like fake legs and she was the horse, i thought that was amazing and would love to do summat like that hahahah

    I LOVE fancy dress. we have done emergency services before... though i went as an army girl... was close enough lol.

    got a fab fairy outfit as well, you could do fairies/disney princesses or summat

    the possibilities are endless!!!!!!!!

    My sister arranged a 'Lady Gaga' fancy dress theme - the younger guests went all out, the older ones just wore wigs. It worked well for everyone then!
