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 create an aura of the Moroccan desert at night. So definitely throw your party in the late evening and also at the beach would be a great idea. If not, then your back garden should suffice.

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, you could go for an Aladdin or princess Jasmine look. Such a costume is easy to make or rent. Think turbans, pointy slippers, slinky harem pants and gold bracelets.

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.

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!
