Superman , Batman , Cinderella , Peter Pan , Captain Jack Sparrow , Lady Gaga and many others all together at one place … What can it be ? A costume party of course .

Dressing up for fun , meeting up with friends , taking crazy pictures , eating and drinking , who doesn ’ t love costume parties ? Imagine how exciting these parties would become if your furry little friends accompanied you . Yes . A costume party for the pets !
It is a perfect way to give yourself and your pet a fun filled treat . For all the animal lovers out there , this idea is simple , creative and fun .
The basic theme of this party is quite simple . Just dress up your pets in a miniature version of the costume you are wearing and take them with you . Or , you could dress up your pet or yourself as the character ’ s sidekick .
For example , an adorable Russian poodle dressed up as Romeo and his owner wearing a stunning Juliet dress . You , a pirate , and your faithful green parrot perched on your shoulder with an eye-patch and hat too . Your Siamese cat with its black nose , ears and paws can be transformed easily into Batman , with a cape around its neck and you can dress up as its sidekick , Robin , for a change . Your pet monkey can make a terrific magician , in a little suit and a hat .
Another unique idea is to make your pets look like other animals . Two bunny ears on your white Persian cat will transform it into a fluffy rabbit .
One of the best things about these parties is how easily the costumes can be made . Your old red shirt can be used to make capes for your Superman or a dress and hat for your Santa Claus . Old accessories like clips or toys , which you and your children do not use , can be used creatively to add to your pet ’ s costume .
