Masquerade Balls were first written about in the renaissance days of the 15^th century. These events were public parties that were extremely popular in Venice Italy. They were a form of an over glamorized dance which was held for those of the upper class status and was associated with the style of the Venetian Carnivals in the early years.

Masquerade balls were extremely common in Europe by the time the 17^th century came out. It was written that a count from Switzerland was the first to introduce the Venetian fashion to London in the 18^th century to the Haymarket Opera House in London. Black Masquerade Masks and other styles then became the norm in all Masquerade Balls.

Some people began to resist Masquerade Balls and stated that these balls encouraged demons and other strange beings. Some even claimed that they were dabbling with influences of immortality too. Although some masquerade outfits can be creepy at time, I personally find it funny that some people were beginning an anti Masquerade Ball movement.

Of course over time, events such as these continued to spread throughout Europe, Brazil, and parts of North America. These celebrations were usually celebrations of marriages and other happy occasions. The mask is used to hide your identity and kept everybody mysterious. People usually never revealed their identity until after the ball.

When choosing a mask, it’s best to usually keep it simple. Popular themes nowadays are gothic, medieval, Venetian, Mardi Gras and Brazilian.

Food is usually kept simple. Finger foods and other small foods is usually the way you would have food served. By adding performers such as magicians and any kind of jugglers or fire throwers, your masquerade ball will be talked about for years to come.
