So, it is party time, and you want everyone to enjoy your theme. You might consider having a dress up, or makeover party, and let everyone try on wigs!

When you are planning a party, you have an option to have activities that are tried and true, or incorporate new and unique elements to allow everyone to do something fabulous and fun like makeovers which change your appearance and give everyone a chance to have fun with makeup and wigs to change their looks!

Anyone who has ever watched the movie "Dirty Dancing" has seen the characters putting on wigs and checking out how they look with hair of different lengths and colors, and web sites galore offer sites to use digital cameras and take a photo, use software, and see yourselves with hair of a different color and style. You can buy used wigs or hairpieces from beauty shops, charity stores like GoodWill or Salvation Army, clean and disinfect them, and allow kids of all ages to use them to play dress up. These can be bought very inexpensively and donated back to the charity when you are through with them.

If this is not an option, consider greeting each guest at the door, pulling back hair, and snapping a picture to be scanned and used to try on virtual wigs! Then, each person can participate using laptop computers (they can be rented or you can have guests who have one bring it to share) or taking turns at your computer trying on their own virtual wigs. Consider saving or taking pics and printing them out to be taken home as party favors when the party is over. You will be surprised at how much fun your guests will have at your makeover party trying on real or virtual wigs!
