QUESTION: Should I wear a suit?
ANSWER: No, Silly Head! It's a CIRCUS wedding!
Feel free to post to this blog your costume idea or suggestions for others!
Here are what some people are dressing up as:
Mermaid
Carmen Meranda
Animal Circus Protester
Lion Family
Fortune Teller
Ring Master
Other suggestions that are Circus Theme or Side Show Theme:
Strong Man
Sword Swallower
Equestrian Director
Trapeze Artist
Tight Rope Walker
Clown
100 Tattoo Man
Snake Charmer
Trained Monkey
Juggler
Jester
Acrobat
Bearded Lady
Ventriloquist
Siamese Twins
Band Leader
Contortionist
Fire Eater
Unicyclist
Puppeteer
Puppet
Burlesque Performer
Fortune Teller
Glass Swallower
Ballerina
Rollerskate Artist
Or you can dress up in all one color. Silver and Orange are the color themes, but you don't have to do that:
All Red
All Silver
All Yellow
All Purple
All Checkered patterns
Or you can come in something tame, and just wear a clown nose, or spike you hair with colored gel. Or bright colored socks and fingerless gloves, a glow-in-the-dark outfit, clothes inside-out and backwards. Wear a wig, cross dress, wear a cape.
