Ideas For Your Arabian Party Theme
To throw and Arabian party theme or an Arabian nights party, your aim is to try and create an air of mysticism surrounding princes, princess, kings, queens and thieves.
You need to try and recreate the Moroccan desert. So you could hold your party at the beach, though this is not essential, you could have it in your back garden, but it is a night time party, not a day one.
I highly suggest you try and rent out a Bedouin tent. They come in all shapes and sizes and will help make your party one to remember. This of course will be dependant on your budget, however for this party theme to work properly and be memorable you really should be thinking about hiring a tent.
For your costume, think kings, queens, princes, princess and thieves. As an alternative you could go for an Aladdin or Jasmine look; slinky harem pants, medallions, pointed slippers, turbans and bracelets.
Get plenty of Arabian style rugs and cushions and spread them around the floor. Your guests should ideally be sitting on the floor, there should be no chairs so make the place comfortable. Any tables should be as low down as possible. Get some candles and patio lanterns to light your tent or venue.
Some added optionals which would be budget dependant would be a hena artist, belly dancer, snake charmer, fortune teller or a fire eater. Try and get a goat too! Tie the little thing up to a post outside for authenticity.
The food should ideally be served on the floor off platters while everybody is sitting on the floor on cushions and rugs. Look into making some traditional middle eastern dishes.
In Arabia, it is traditional before eating to bathe your fingers in scented water. For this, simply put a few drops of essential oil in a bowl of water.
