An Arabian Nights party theme is supposed to create a sense of intrigue and mystery surrounding princes, princesses, kings, queens and thieves.
Your aim is to try and create the Moroccan desert at night. So consider holding your Arabian party theme at the beach.
I highly suggest you rent a Moroccan Bedouin tent for the occasion as this is the essence of the Arabian party theme and will help create an incredible scene. They come in all sizes and should fit your budget.
Arabian Party Costumes
Consider some of the following costumes for your Arabian party which are gender dependant.
1. Aladdin
2. Princess Jasmine
3. A Merchant
4. A Villain
5. Belly Dancer
6. Snake Charmer
7. A Genie
This is the best place for low cost Arabian Party Costumes!
Arabian Party Decorations
Getting the scenery right for your Arabian nights party can really make the difference. Below is quite a large list for you to consider:
1. Most importantly (although not essential) is hiring a Bedouin tent!
2. Obtain some Moroccan style patio lanterns. The lighting in the tent/room should be dim.
3. Cover the floor with Moroccan style rugs.
4. Get plenty of cushions and pillows, position them all over the floor.
5. Tables and sofas should preferably be as low down as possible.
6. Hang crescent moons and stars from the ceiling on strings.
7. Consider hiring a belly dancer, snake charmer, henna artist, fire eater or fortune teller.
8. Hire a camel and park it on a rope outside. Failing this, get a goat.
9. Play Aladdin on a loop.
10. The main colour theme should be red and gold.
11. Light plenty of candles around the venue.
Arabian Party Food
You should ideally be eating while sitting on the floor, the trays of food should be kept at foot level.
It is traditional for guests to bathe their fingers in scented water before eating. I suggest you add a few drops of essential oil to a bowl of water for this.
For Moroccan cuisine, I recommend Favourite Recipes from the Middle East
Arabian Party Music
For some ideal Arabian Nights theme party background music, I recommend Arabian Nights Club & Chillout Classics
Arabian Party Invitations
Send out your party invitations on cut outs of one of the following:
1. Aladdin
2. Princess Jasmine
3. A Camel
4. A Flying Carpet
5. Crescent Moon
As with any party or event you put on these days, you really should create a Facebook event page as well as sending out physical invitations! These are great and you can use them to invite all your guests as well as keep them informed as to any updates! A Facebook group should also help you increase the attendance to your party as everyone will be able to see how many of their friends have already agreed to come. Finally, a Facebook group will enable you all to upload your photo and videos once the party has finished. You’ll be able to tag each other in them and you’ll have a permanent reminder to your wonderful Arabian party.
You really make it appear really easy along with your presentation however I am finding this matter to be actually one thing which I believe I might never understand. It sort of feels too complicated and extremely extensive for me. I’m looking forward in your subsequent publish, I will try to get the grasp of it!
Well remember not to overreach yourself, it’s supposed to be a party after all. The most important thing is to have fun. There’s no shame in getting help from friends if you feel the organization is too much for you.
If you need any more help then just let me know and I’ll see what I can suggest.
