1. Wig out with the right invitation

Whenever you throw a theme party, you want to fill your guests in ahead of time so they have plenty of time to plan ahead. In the case of a wig party, you may have matching wigs already picked out, but you’ll still want a cheeky way to introduce everyone to the idea.

On Etsy, there are a ton of great options like this editable and printable neon wig party invitation from Template by Tina Shop’s page. It’s super cute and can easily be customized to your specific needs!

This chic and modern hair salon in Jenkintown, PA is a prime example. It is a 1,000-square-foot event space and high-end salon chairs, arched mirrors, huge windows that let in plenty of sunlight, ringlights, and a smart TV.

4. Pick a decade as a secondary theme

If you’re looking for wig party ideas that also give you an excuse to dress up in costume, we recommend picking a certain decade and having a throwback party! The 80s has awesome rocker hair, while the 70s has groovy disco styles.

Want a venue with retro vibes to match? Let Peerspace connect you with spots like this retro glam-inspired private lounge in Brooklyn. It is a colorful 70s and 80s-inspired dance venue and includes a bar, high-top tables, murals, a pool table, and more to flip your wig over.

5. Ditch the itchy wigs for foam

Sick of the way your typical wigs never seem to fit right and get all itchy? Try using foam wigs instead for a more stable experience. This blonde foam wig from Foam Party Hats Inc. on Etsy is a perfect example of what we mean. It’s definitely a unique take on the classic wig and is sure to impress your fellow partygoers.

6. Go country with a mullet party

Want some wig party ideas where you can throw on some jean shorts and blast some classic country music? Have everyone come in some variation of a mullet! This 80s mullet wig for men from Amazon is the quintessential version of the “business in the front, party in the back” hairstyle.

Don’t forget to book a country-perfect party venue suitable for all of your mullet-loving guests. On Peerspace, you can easily book a countrified barn rental near you. For instance, this authentic country farm, barn, and gardens on 16 acres in Winsted, MN provides you with plenty of space for your party as well as heaps of rustic charm.

7. Dress as your favorite Disney Princess

Everybody has their own favorite Disney Princess, and each one has their own unique and distinctive hairstyle. Try to have everyone at your wig party get one for their favorite! There are some great options out there in some cool fabrics, like this braided Elsa wig from At the Lily Pond’s Etsy shop. Just make sure you allow everyone to choose their preference since there may be some overlapping favorites.

Embrace the princess theme even more by hosting your wig party in a perfectly pink and girly Peerspace venue. This huge event space in Inglewood, CA is one amazing option and provides you with dance space, a stage, a changing room, and a bar. For an additional fee, the host can also provide a sound system and a projector. It all adds up to an amazing venue for bringing your wig party ideas to life!

10. Plan a cosplay night and come as your favorite character

One of the best parts about cosplaying is wearing eccentric wigs that can transform you into a different character. If you’re in a group that’s a little on the geeky side then you probably would love an excuse to wear your cosplay wig another time! Or, if you’re a first-timer, you can experiment by just wearing the wig and not worrying about the full costume.

11. Get wiggy with your drinks

Chances are, if you’re throwing a wig party there’s bound to be some adult beverages being poured. Keep the cups on theme with these funny “Get wiggy with it” bachelorette cups from Sassy and Co. Designs on Etsy! There are plenty of color options, so if you’re matching your wigs, make sure to match the cups as well.

12. Don’t forget the photo booth

A photo booth is always a great addition to a party – guests always appreciate having a physical memento to take home in the form of a goofy photo strip. Peerspace has many listings available that have photo booths included in the rental or as an add-on.

This multifaceted event space in Concord, NC would be great for a wig party and includes a photo booth! The venue provides space for 50 guests and includes tables, chairs, speakers, a projector, parking, and yes, a photo booth, all as part of your rental fee!
