I found out we were going to attend a Halloween party at my husbands’ bosses’ house. They are making into an old fashioned masquerade ball. They request that we all wear renaissance dress costumes. Like I told my husband, the kids don’t even have their costumes for this year. I was afraid our medieval renaissance costumes would be expensive. I didn’t know if we had the money to buy costumes for all of us this year. He said it wouldn’t be a problem. We just had to look for inexpensive costumes for this party. We looked up Halloween costume stores on the internet.
They had a fantastic selection of costumes for the renaissance era. There were many costumes my husband found that he liked. I found a lovely renaissance queen costume I felt was fitting for me. It was very cheap when you consider how exquisite it was. In fact I liked a lot of the costumes I looked at. My husband was also having a decision making problem. He ran across a lot of costumes he would like to have. He considered being a noble king for the party. He loved the idea of being royalty. After the king costume he saw a knight of the round talbe costume and wanted that too. He finally saw the costume he felt was meant for him. He claims it’s the inner him. What he would have been back in those days is hung. It was a pirate costume he chose for Halloween. That costume will really good fantastic on him. I chose maid marian as my renaissance festival costume. Even though there were several possibilities of renaissance dresses to choose from, that’s what I decided on. Now that my husband and I had our renaissance halloween costume, we could concentrate on what we are going to do about the kids costumes.
The kids had no idea what they wanted to be yet. That’s why we decided to check the online stores for their costumes too. The kids noticed the site of renaissance costume selections and wanted to take a look at them. I didn’t think they would go for costumes in this era. They really did find a few costumes on this Halloween site. Now we were checking for the right costume for our daughter. She also had a few costumes that she liked. She ended up choosing a princess costume for Halloween. Our son had no problem making his choice. He knew exactly what he wanted to be His choice of a medieval renaissance costume was that of a royal knight. It didn’t take him long at all to find the perfect renaissance costume for himself. So, now everyone was taken care of for their Halloween night. At least that’s what I thought. Everyone had come up with certain items they needed for their costumes. So, we had to order renaissance costume boots and swords for my husband and sons’ outfits. I also ordered shoes and a special little purse to match our daughters outfit. There were a couple of things I wanted too. I ordered my headpiece,veil and shoes for my maid marian costume. Now, we were done with the ordering. Everyone’s costumes and accessories were on order. So, we just had to wait for them to get here.
It didn’t take very long. We all had to try our costumes on, naturally. We were all very pleased with the way our costumes looked. My husbands pirate costume was really awesome. My lady renaissance costume wasn’t bad either. The kids were both happy with their costumes and they looked adorable. I predict that this Halloween is one we will remember for a long time. Even with the bosses’ party that we have to go to.
