A few years ago, we wanted to plan a themed party with our friends. After playing with a few different [costume party ideas](http://www.fancydressball.co.uk/fancy-dress-ideas.htm?ref=cookiesandclogs.com), we decided to have an international party in which everyone could dress up in an outfit from the country they originated from.

I was able to go down to Chinatown to pick up a dress but several others had a tougher time. In fact, my mom ended up sewing my daughter’s outfit from a pattern I had bought online. We ordered hats for my daughter and husband but my husband did borrow an acquaintance’s wooden clogs. All this could have been avoided if we checked out [Fancy Dress Ball](http://www.fancydressball.co.uk/?ref=cookiesandclogs.com) first! Only a handful actually participated but it was enough to make the gathering interesting.

The food was another story – we certainly didn’t have any problems in that department. We have a pretty diverse group of friends so they cooked Russian, Italian, Greek, Mexican, Japanese, Soul, Korean, Guatemalan, and so much more. I even made little place cards for with the name of each dish and the country of origin. Everything was delicious! If you ever want a seriously tasty spread, ask people to bring something their mother or grandmother used to make. Mmmm!

That was back in 2008 and some were not able to make it. I think it’s time to throw another one since it was so fun. What was your most memorable party?
