Looking for an exciting event to invite all of your friends to? Why not throw a bikini costume party? It's a wonderful way for people to meet and mingle. It doesn't even need to be a holiday. You can have a simple get together with just your close friends.

Here a few ideas on how to make home made bikini costumes with easy items you can probably find in your closet. You can have the party at the beach where everyone can try out their swimwear in the water or rent a room at a local spa where your guest can stay indoors. If it's going to be a dry beaching party then just have it in your home.

Little Red Riding Hood

Just pull out your red Brazilian bikini and throw a red scarf around your head. Take out a red sweater and toss it around your shoulders just buttoning the top button. Finish it all off with a pair of white knee high boots.

Cat Woman

Get out your black thong bikini and throw on your high heel black boots. Grab a black belt for your waist and find that black choker to put around your neck. You can get a black mask for your eyes at the dollar store in the toy section.

Cowgirl

Fetch that plaid bikini you've been hiding. Get a handkerchief and tie it around your neck. Slip on some cowboy boots. Tie your hair up in pigtails and throw a loose belt around your waist. If you have some brown suede gloves, throw them on for an added effect.

Corporate

Locate your nicest blue or grey string bikini. Pull out a blue or grey suit jacket and put it on. Get out a pair of sheer blue or grey panty hose and blue or grey stiletto heels to top it off. Throw on a hat and a tie to make it official.

These are just a few suggestions to help you along. I'm sure once you start going through your closet, you'll come up with ideas of your very own. Be creative and remember it's a costume party so you can be whoever you want to be. Have fun.
