Hoping to pick the collective creative minds of the forum...


We've been invited to a friend's daughter's 2nd birthday party, got told it's fancy dress - thought bless will be fun excuse to dress up Bugglet, but we've now found out that hubbie & I are also exextend to dress up :-S


So... Any ideas? Bugglet is 18mths & fairly small so unlikely to fit supermarket fancy dress & am clueless about me & hubbie - trying to think along nursery rhyme/fairy tale themes but no ideas yet!

- Dracula,

- Pippi Longstocking

- Pyjama Party (in your night gown)

- go with a nice wig from wandsworth road

- Alien (green face painting)

- "Dotty" (like the exhibition from the japanese artist at tate modern with all the dots)

- harry potter

...

endless possibilities. Shall I go instead? (only joking)

enjoy

As Pam50 says, you and your husband could go in stripey tops with eye patches, headscarfs, etc as pirates....but maybe the buglet could go as a parrot!! Dress her in green and get her a little feathery headers or fascinator type thing!

Or you could get one of these and sew it onto a headband for her, dress her in green etc, or am I getting carried away?!


(not sure that my fancy dress ideas might not be a bit skewed after the 'mum dressing me as a poacher' trauma which you may remember from a thread a while ago, hahaha!)

Oooo - knew you guys'd come up trumps!! Thought & ruled out "mad men" style (annoying as have perfect dress) as thought might be bit too grown up! Liking pirate ideas esp dressing bugglet up as a parrot - though if I got the toy parrot & dressed her in brown she could go as the perch maybe!


Will let you know how it goes :-)

    • Evri left a parcel for her on our doorstep. If anyone knows her could they (or preferably Esther) DM me. Thank you!
    • Hello East Dulwich families 👋 I wanted to introduce myself to the community. I’m a professional family & wedding photographer with 14+ years of experience, and I split my time between the US and London throughout the year. I’ll be based in London for the coming weeks and would love to photograph more local families here in East Dulwich. My approach is very relaxed and natural — no stiff posing, no pressure — just real connection, movement, and the beautiful everyday moments that tell your family’s story. I work especially well with kids and parents who feel “awkward” in front of the camera (which honestly is most of us!). Sessions can take place at home, in the park, on your favourite street, or anywhere that feels meaningful to you. The goal is to create images that feel like your life — not a photoshoot. If anyone has been thinking about documenting this season with their children, I’d love to connect, answer questions, or simply share examples of my work. No pressure at all — just happy to be here and meet some neighbours. You can see my work here: https://bluesparkphotography.com/family/ (use the contact page on the site to send me a message if you're interested!).  
    • I don't! But I've also taken to calling myself David, as it seems to shorten the odds of achieving something in life. It's not King Dave, Dave Lloyd George, Dave Hockney, Dave Bowie or Dave Hasselhoff is it? And I'm not sure Michelangelo would have had such success if he'd called his sculpture 'Dave'.
    • I think there is still a shoes/clothes recycling bank outside of North Dulwich station.
