Help...costume party/wedding...2 weeks!
I also posted this on the Central PA board...where I live.
One of DH's close friends is getting married in 2 weeks, Oct 31.....yes, Halloween. That also happens to be the guys birthday, but that's irrelevant. It's not exactly a halloween party, but on the invite it says costumes are encouraged. The problem....the majority of the evening is going to be outside! Yes, on Oct 31! It's right outside of Pittsburgh, by the way.
We really want to go in costume, and DH has been known for his funny, creative, slightly obscure costumes over the the years. However, we have no idea how to plan a costume when we don't know how warm or maybe freezing the weather may be 2 weeks from now. And the thing starts at 4:30pm...so it's in the evening. From what I understand, it's a different sort of agenda than most. Cocktails at 4:30, the ceremony at "dusk" whenever that happens to fall (and all of that is outside). And then we're moving inside for dinner.
So what could we plan that we would be warm enough outside, and then not roast when we went inside into a most likely heated room? If you ask me, this is a bit of an inconsiderate party! TIA
Re: Help...costume party/wedding...2 weeks!
I'm thinking they'll have some sort of heat source so their guests aren't uncomfortable.
What kinds of costumes has your DH had before? Have you talked to other guests about what they might be wearing?
Think about costumes that involve layers. Maybe a pirate and wench--you could always put a cloak over your dress until you go inside.
It's not their responsibility to be considerate or not; they're getting married and it's their day. It doesn't sound that bad, to be honest.
Good luck.

They are not having a heat source for the outside stuff. DH just talked to his buddy last night. The guy said he is really nervous about how the weather is going to be, and said that hi FI is insisting on this set-up.
DH's other buddies aren't near as into the whole dressing up thing as he is, and a couple of them aren't going in costume at all. He has gone as a double dare contestant in the past, bob ross (the painter), a huge pumpkin....where he made it a point to keep bumping into everybody all night....stuff like that.
Seriously? Any time you are a host, it is your responsibility to be considerate to your guests. Just because 'it's their day', it doesn't exonerate them from having good manners.
It sounds like a fun event. Good luckwith the costumes.
