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.
Your aim is to recreate the desert of Morocco. So you should try and host your party at night, at the beach. This is not essential though, you could hold it in your back garden or in a local park.
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.
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.
It is traditional for guests to bathe their fingers in scented water prior to eating. For this, put a few drops of essential oil in water. It works really well!
