Some Cat Toddler Costume Ideas For Your Little One

Halloween is one of those times of the year that creates lasting memories as your bundle of joy will certainly bring a smile to your face as they wear an outfit that resembles what character they want to be. It is moments like that these that make being a parent worth all the effort when you see your child use their imagination to act out their favorite scenes. Knowing this, making preparations ahead of time is absolutely important as you definitely do not want to wait last minute.

The last thing you would want is to have to tell your child that you could not get them a cat Halloween costume because you waited too long. Shopping early on also has other benefits since local stores are sure to be packed with long lines as the holiday approaches. When this happens, you can bet that all the good sizes and outfits will be sold out. To prevent this, you should buy a Halloween costume at online stores where you can easily choose from a vast selection while getting great deals.
If you are stuck for ideas on what outfit to purchase for your child, then consider getting a cat costume for toddlers since these are sure to be rather popular. In fact, the black cat has many superstitions attached to it especially during Halloween time. Keep in mind though that these costumes are typically more common for girls to wear as you will rarely see boys wearing them. It should not come as a surprise either as movies like Catwoman has made these outfits all the rage among toddlers.
A typical cat costume for toddlers consists of a black jumpsuit. If your child does not want to wear a jumpsuit, then you can easily just make your own by having them wear black pants along with a matching top. However, to really give the impression of a cat Halloween costume, wearing black is simply not enough. To create a more realistic effect, whiskers and other facial features should be drawn in. Black gloves and boots are also a must have in order to replicate a cat costume.
Another outfit that is sure to be rather popular this year due to the recent release of the Shrek movie is the Puss in Boots Halloween costume. This is characterized by a light brown cat costume. If your toddler decides to wear this outfit, then be sure that it also comes with boots, a cape, a hat and a play sword. If your child has seen any of the Shrek movies, then they can act out their favorite scenes by pretending to be Puss in Boots.
Regardless of which one you choose, you can bet that the cat costume will be popular for Halloween this year. Just be sure that you make all the necessary preparations ahead of time as this outfit can be rather complex depending on how creative you want to get with it. If your toddler decides to be a cat this year, then be sure to take a lot of photos so you can capture the memory.

Invitations

As with any other baby shower, your Halloween costume themed baby shower requires invitations. Consider using Halloween themed invitations or creating your own custom design.

Donning Halloween costumes

Since this is a Halloween-themed party, be sure to remind people arrive in costume! If you would like, you could also impose guidelines, such as asking your guests to wear baby-themed costumes. You can also consider providing simple costume accessories (like eye patches or princess tiaras) for the guests who may not normally dress up for the Halloween season.

Halloween-Inspired Decorations

Decorations are another must for any party. Of course, with a Halloween-themed baby shower, you will want to apply more traditional Halloween decor. Look for black and orange streamers and balloons to decorate the room. You can also use traditional Halloween icons like witches, black cats, ghosts, and skeletons. To keep with the baby theme, consider using black kittens and baby ghosts as part of your decorations.

Enjoyable Games

Many traditional baby shower games can be done with a Halloween touch to them or you can take Halloween games and put a baby spin on them. For instance, try bobbing for instead of bobbing for apples. Play a memory game using Halloween accessories on the tray as well as baby ones. Mark your baby Bingo cards with orange and black markers. You can even do things like decorate a baby shirt with a Halloween design. Consider giving guests different sized baby onesies (so you will have one for now and ones to wear in the years to come) to draw their own pumpkins, ghosts, and black cats on them.

Entertaining Gifts

If this is a shower for a second, third, or more baby (one where it is more about getting together than mom actually wanting baby items), you could challenge guests to bring the most creative Halloween gifts for baby. This can include everything from baby costumes and Halloween clothing to decorations to hang in the child's room.

Halloween-Inspired Favors Since the stores are full with trick-or-treat goodies, locating favors to send home with guests should be relatively easy. Consider getting mini treat buckets to fill with goodies or Halloween-themed gift bags.

Thank You Notes

As the recipient of the party, mother-to-be will need to send out thank you cards for all the gifts received. An easy way to make this task easier for mom (who may not have much free time in the upcoming days) is to have guests address their envelopes while they are there (you can even have them address two if mom is planning on sending out birth announcements). Try using Halloween cards as your thank you cards to keep in the theme.

While it may sound a little unusual, a Halloween costume themed baby shower can be an enjoyable way to incorporate costumes and Halloween fun into the traditional baby shower routine. Your party will definitely be remembered for some time to come!
