If you have a team of people who are all going to be attending the same fancy dress party get them all together and arrange to dress up as a group in outfits that follow a theme.   It doesn’t matter what sizes or shapes your group is made up of. There are fancy dress costumes to fit every size and suit every pocket. 

Elect one person to organise the fancy dress for the whole party or event.   Email everyone you know and ask them if they want to belong to the group.  Start them off by sending them your ideas for a group fancy dress theme and ask everyone to reply back with their ideas for costumes.  Give them a time that they must get back to you by email or you’ll expel them from the group!  If you’re not tough they’ll take forever because we all leave everything till the last minute!  If you’re lucky and everyone has the same idea then obviously go with the most popular fancy dress theme.  If people send lots of ideas narrow it down to a few possibles and get people to just vote on three or four.    When you’ve got the chosen theme look online and choose your outfits and accessories.  Contact your online retailer and see if you can get discount for a bulk purchase.  Make sure you’ve chosen the accessories to go with the outfits so you can include them in the discount.Work out the costing and email everyone to let them know how much you need from them and get them to agree.  Get the money upfront before you buy.  People tend to remember to pay you before the event.  If it’s come and gone you’ll find it harder to get people to cough up the dough!! 

Check the delivery date and wait till your fancy dress has arrived before you get everyone to come and collect.  You could even arrange a pre-party pickup night with a few drinks and nibbles to try on outfits and discuss transport.
