Arabian Party Theme Ideas
An Arabian nights or an Arabian party theme is supposed to create a sense of mystique and intrigue surrounding thieves, princes, princess, kings and queens.
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.
The biggest and best feature for your Arabian party theme would be the Bedouin tent. You can rent them, they come in all shapes and sizes and will be an awesome venue for your party.
For your costume you could dress up like Aladdin or Jasmine. Think slinky harem pants, pointed slippers and turbans. Gold bracelets and jewelry for the ladies. Or as a thematic alternative go for a king, queen, prince, princess or thief.
Your guests will preferably be sitting on the floor, so get plenty of Arabian style rugs and cushions. Any tables should be as low down as possible. Get some patio lanterns and candles to light your tent or venue and finally hang crescent moons and stars from the ceiling.
Budget dependant, consider hiring a hena artist, belly dancer, snake charmer, fortune teller or fire eater. Also if you have access to a goat, tie it up to a post outside your tent. Watch it doesnt chew away on the canvas.
Look into making some traditional middle eastern dishes for the food. Ideally, your party should be sitting on the floor on the cushions and rugs you have provided. Also, the food should be kept on platters on the floor, just let everybody dive in.
For true authenticity, it is traditional for guests to bathe their fingers in scented water before eating. Just put a few drops essential oil in water for this.
