You can also decorate the venue with party banners, create Viking hats for your guests, and ask them to wear Viking costumes as well.
Everyone can dress up as Viking warriors or ordinary citizens. Viking men typically wore tunics and trousers while women wore long dresses with pinafores. Their clothing was usually made from wool, linen, or animal skins. When dressing up as a Viking, don’t forget to accessorize with leather belts, brass buckles, and brooches.
For games, you can let your guests draw a beard on a Viking while being blindfolded, or let them guess characters from Norse mythology through a game of charades. If you have extra time, put all of your food and drinks in a table that’s shaped like a Viking ship complete with shields on the sides.

Cupcakes designed with animal faces and drinks in animal prints can be a perfect fit for this kind of party.
Choose Carefully
