Mustache Party – It’s now the time of year that some women absolutely love, while others seem to hate. It’s the time when men cease doing anything with any of their facial hair in what has long been referred to as both “Movember” and “No Shave November.”
Despite some women not liking this, it has actually been shown as of late that not shaving during this particular time of year actually does some good.
Similar to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which takes place during the month of October, “No Shave November” helps to raise awareness regarding men’s health, more especially in relation to mental health, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.
Men partake in this by growing a mustache during the entire month of November, which is something that ended up leading to conversations about men’s health, as well as collecting donations for multiple men’s health organizations.
Women can also take part in this as well, even though they aren’t able to grow facial hair like men can; however, they can organize various events and collect donations for various organizations that help to promote men’s health.
Mustache Party
A great way to collect donations is to throw a “Movember” party, otherwise known as a “Mo Party.” For instance, invite friends to either a local restaurant or bar, bring snacks to your work for a form of celebration, or host a party right in your own home.
Educate your guests about various men’s health issues and encourage them to donate to help with the cause, all while having fun at the same time.
Here are some great tips for you to make note of that will help you throw your own successful “Mo Party”!
Add Mustaches to Party Décor
Mustache-shaped party decoration can often be hard to locate, no matter where you look. In this case, incorporate fake ones into your own decor yourself, such as cutting out mustache shapes to add to the invitations using construction paper of different colors.
Of course, you will need to include as many details as possible on the invitations. If you would prefer to not create these yourself, you could choose to create them electronically instead.
Furthermore, hang a mustache-printed banner in the entryway of your home so that your guests are aware of the purpose of the party.
Additionally, it will be a good idea to inform your guests about where they can leave their donations, as well as who they can make checks out to if they wish to donate that way.
You should also choose a more general color scheme for your party, as well as coordinate decorations to help embellish the space itself.
For instance, line the space with either streamers or garland, incorporate paper lanterns, metallic whirls, or any other kind of hanging decorations that you feel make be appropriate – of course, with a few mustache clings attached to them.
You can also use traditional balloons as table decorations; however consider drawing mustaches on these as well with a permanent market or even placing mustache stickers on them if you can find some.
Add some casino tables to provide an activity for your guests. They will compete at the gambling tables, to see who ends up with the biggest stash!
Another fun activity would be to offer some of these items up as prizes by winning games that can be played throughout the party, such as a “guess the mustache” type of game, which involves printing out photos of famous celebrities with recognizable mustaches, but covering everything up except their facial hair.
The first guest who correctly gets the most guesses on who the facial hair belongs to will win the prizes!
