Wellington Sevens Costumes

For the first time next year I have managed to get my hands on tickets for the Wellington Rugby Sevens in Feb. Being an avid sports fan I have always been a huge fan of sevens and over the past few years tickets for the event have sold out in as fast as 10 minutes. It is one of the hottest tickets in town.

Over the years it has gained a reputation for being one of the best sporting parties in the calendar year with the entire crowd dressing up in costumes and enjoying the fantastic spectacle of our great game.

I have been travelling various websites and Pinterest for costume inspiration and their are simply too many choices.

The other dilemma faced when deciding is the group of friends I am attending with. We have 5 boys and 5 girls so the tough decision is wether to do a group theme or girls and boys costumes. You may think it is silly fussing and spending so much time deciding in costumes but think of it as our version of Halloween. Months and months of planning and creating goes into the costumes and everyone wants to look their best.
























Some of these pictures are my favourites over the years and I do love some of the creativity. My 2 faves would be the highlighters are the railway signs. Now the picture doesn't do this costume justice as they made the costume from scratch, complete with flashing lights and the railway crossing noises. Seriously great creativity and originality. Don't think anyone has come close to bettering this costume and its definitely tough to beat.

Basically the off field costumes are just as important as the on field action.

Lets hope we can decide on an idea and get to making :)

Hope your all enjoying your weekend
