If you are making it for a woman: an Indian Sari or an African outfit with a head wrap.  Both are only long pieces of material wrapped around the body.  For the African look make sure the material is bright and colorful (you can find African material at any fabric store. The material is wrapped around to look like a long strapless dress with a head wrap.  There is no particular rhyme or reason to the head wrap, just something that stays put and looks nice.  \n\nFor a man: Scottish kilt, Hindu wrap, Buddhist monk.\nThe Scottish kilt is a plaid skirt, borrow one from a girl that is about the same size as you and make sure it's pleated and a basic style.  For the Buddhist look, it's like doing a Sari but with a orange cotton material.  The Hindu look is like the Buddhist look but with red material and a red dot in the center of you forehead (use some red lipstick).  You can do all of these looks for under $25 if you research your prices.

You could be a hippie, a mermaid, or a Lady of Rome. \n\nFor the hippie costume you could buy or make a tie die print fabric and make it into a really cute dress, then make a matching headband and wear some boots.\n\nFor the mermaid you could wear like a bikini top and make the skirt very form fitting at the top and then sort of flowy at the bottom and wear some heels.\n\nFor the Lady of Rome you could make a really sexy toga (because you're young and you can pull it off) and use either gold or silver trimmings. You could make it more trendy by adding a big gold or silver belt around your waist and wear a pair of flat sandals that lace up your calf or just a pair of flat gold or silver sandals (like a thong or something). Hope this helps

Wear what is comfortable.  I don't think a skirt is needed unless you suspect he is going to do the whole candle light and dancing thing.

For one, you can have participants coming in their traditional costumes, give short background to their origins, followed by having some interactions on their background. \nAs some costumes may be big and cumbersome, next part will be to change out for other activities.\nHave some current affair topics up for discussion, like is the education system doing well for them, how do they see their country kleaders, what can be done to improve situations, etc.\nAnd arrange for games. Interaction through games can foster closer relation among the participants. Simple party games can be tried.\nHope this helps.

Wear black, as you may have guessed.  Long sleeves and long skirt preferably, but it depends on how observant the ceremony will be. If it is Reform you can get away with short sleeves but stay away from sleeveless. I would not wear anything that shows your legs at all.  I was raised in a conservative Jewish home. Any religious event  both girls and boys are asked to cover their heads. You will not need to supply your own head covering. If they expect you to cover your head they will have little lace for the girls and a yamicha, or keepah, for the boys. \nIf they are really traditional they may separate the men and women so be observant and try to notice what everyone else is doing.  You may find this to be a neat learning experience. The Jewish religion is filled with ancient traditions.

The headband idea is wonderful, but just too spruce it up, get Large brown paper bags from grocery store, cut them up the middle,a place for arms on the sides, and a place for their head, Then paint them Brown too look like indian vests, also you could paint half black and make pilgrim hats and then they could wear them to your feast.\nAlso let them decorate a place mat....\nhand prints can easily look like turkey, and then laminate them for their dinner.

Not going just handing out candies.  Kids don't dress up anymore.  Last year i saw kids coming to my door with no costumes.  \n\nDo the mullet.  That would be hot.

Go to Michael's, Hobby Lobby, etc.  I was just in Hobby Lobby the other day trying to get ideas and they had some very nice ones that were already made, you just had to print the info on it.  Or go to Office Max and find some nice paper that would be appropriate for the occasion (maybe even find something with her colors so it seems even more personalized, even if you didn't have to put much time or effort into it)!  As far as the attire goes....just put something on the bottom of the invite that says "Casual attire is recommended."  When it comes down to it, people will not even care how they look...as long as all of the info is there, it should suit you fine!

Well, if you are willing, you can rent a costume . . .. Nothing like a bit of role playing to spice up the romance.\n\nYou can always suggest that next time he dresses up like you want him to, both of you should compromise for each other . . ..
