Chase away the January Blues with a Lewis Carroll Theme Party. Born on 27th January, 1832, Lewis Carroll (born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) went on to become one of the most famous author’s of all time. By far his most well-read titles being Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Alice Through The Looking Glass.

Carroll’s love of fantasy and fun lends itself to throwing an imaginative party full of off-the-wall Fancy Dress characters. From the expected Alice, White Rabbit and Queen of Hearts, to Flamingos doubling as croquet mallets, a hookah-smoking Caterpillar and talking flowers (were these the inspiration for Bill & Ben’s Little Weed we wonder?) Who can forget the Mad Hatter‘s Un-birthday Party, or indeed the playing card soldiers ‘painting the roses red’? With the classic book and animation recently re-made by Tim Burton, your guests will be inspired whatever their age ranges. Whether they are classic Alice purists or quirky modern film lovers. This is a Party Theme to unite us all.

The only limit to your Lewis Carroll Fancy Dress Party Decorations is your imagination. Choose mirrors, swirling decorations, hearts, animal props and checked cloth to adorn you room and tables. Add some shimmer curtains and red heart table confetti to inject some colour, and then fill the room with red roses, tea-sets, inflatable flamingos and decks of giant playing cards for a Wonderland-esque ambience. If there’s anyone who doesn’t get into the Alice Party swing, then…”off with their heads!”
