I haven't worn costumes to the party, either! I just go as myself! At least half of the party guests will not be in costumes, if not more than that. No one pays attention or notices. It's a really good blend of costumes/no costumes and everyone doing is their own thing.
I mean, obviously we will be looking at the people with the really fantastic costumes - it's hard to ignore adults dressed as giant crayons, enormous teddy bears or wearing costumes that light up from head to toe, but the ones with costumes pay no attention to those of us who don't wear them!
A lot of party guests most likely end up buying their tickets on the spot - for example, the ones who don't follow discussions boards, of course! They may visit DLR with little to no planning at all (yes, there are still many people who go into it with no planning at all other than to book a hotel), and while they are there they learn that there's a party on this night or that night, so they decide to buy last minute/day-of-event tickets. Chances are, they don't bother running out and getting costumes
Thanks for this! I've been trying to talk DH into going as a "theme". You know...DS as Peter Pan, Me as Tink & DH as Capt Hook, or something like that. But DH will have none of it! So I'm glad to hear that we wont stick out by not being in costume. Oh DS will still have a great costume and I will just focus all my "costume energy" on creating the perfect costume for him! Oh well...
