  3. 3

    Add a physical letter 'M' to your costume if you want to make the alphabet party theme explicit and humorous.

  4. 4

    Apply simple makeup or face paint, like a white mime face or a drawn-on Mario mustache, to complete the transformation.

Makeup & hair

Tailor your hair and makeup to your chosen M character, such as classic white-and-black mime face paint or a bright red wig for a mermaid.

Tips

  • If your costume isn't instantly recognizable, wear a name tag or a giant letter 'M' pin to keep it fun and clear.
