| My wife and I have always loved themed parties and | | | | make our guests experience just a little more |
| get togethers.In fact we have thrown many of them | | | | realistic.Instead of using electric,we used candles to |
| ourselves.This last Halloween we decided to have a | | | | provide light.We also had a fire going in our fireplace as |
| Medieval Knight costume themed party. | | | | well. |
| We got the idea after going to a renaissance fair last | | | | To add in a little extra bit of fun,we decided to hold our |
| summer.It was a lot of fun watching the men and | | | | own mini version of a renaissance fair.There was a |
| women dressed up in their period costumes.The | | | | jousting tournament with cardboard tubes instead of |
| knights in shining armor and the ladies in flowing gowns. | | | | lances.The men and some of the ladies participated in |
| Part of the fun of a medieval costume themed party | | | | our mock sword fight.We found some music that |

| and Ladies.Greeting each other with curtsies and | | | | the fair,and cleared some room for people to dance. |
| bows.There were also many salutes and the backs of | | | | Maybe one of the more fun parts of these kinds of |
| many a ladies hands were kissed. | | | | themed parties is that you eat with your hands.It was |
| The problem with most themed parties is that they | | | | a lot of fun to watch the ladies in their gowns and the |
| sometimes require your guests to wear tight fitting | | | | men in their tunics nibbling on the food and snacks |
| costumes.If you have ever seen a "Superhero | | | | without so much as a paper plate. |
| Costume"you will know what I mean.These types of | | | | After the party everyone commented on how much |
| costumes can be a bit larger,which makes wearing | | | | fun they had.The nice thing about a Medieval Knight |
| them more comfortable.And let's face it not everyone | | | | costume themed party is that you don't have to wait |
| has a supermodel body! | | | | for Halloween to have one.You could host one at |
| In keeping with our costume theme we decided to | | | | anytime. |
