What I got is a simple priest’s frock with the white color and a decent sized wooden cross to wear around my neck. That just doesn’t seem like enough so any ideas how to set it apart. I am not interested in being PC, but I am also not interested in being overly offensive. It’s a fine line, I just want to enjoy myself on Saturday night, not get into arguments.
Wear a red sash around your waist. (This would make you a cardinal.)
Offer people communion, using the snack and beverage of your choice.
What TE said, and then tie a few heads of garlic onto the sash and carry around a wooden stake. BANG! You’re a vampire hunter. Coincidently, I will be dressing up as a vampire. Catch me if you can!
You need a girlfriend in a nun’s costume to be openly affectionate with you in public. Maybe with a baby doll wrapped up in a blanket.
Or swaddling clothes.
Or an altar boy.
The pregnant nun bit has lost a humor it once had. I remember it from the late 70’s early 80’s. Saturday Night Live had the Father Guido Sarducci character and his nuns. Every year now someone dresses as a pregnant nun. Now the altar boy and Priest I haven’t seen at a party yet. Not a good costume in all situations though. What about a Jesuit Missionary to the New France area.
“Cheezborger, cheezborger, cheezborger ? no Pepsi–Coke. No fries–cheeps.”
SNL The cheeseburger skit.
Have you ever seen those annoyingly awful “time-out” dolls? It’s a doll that has no face and it looks like the kid is standing in the corner for time out (they are child sized). Just stick one of those to the crotch of your frock.
Get bottle of Mad Dog or Thunderbird and label it “Communion Wine” with masking tape and a magic marker, and get a big box of Animal Crackers and label it “Communion Wafers” .
I’ve seen priest costumes in stores that come with…uh…some extra happiness in the pants region. That’s kind of weird though.
I like the communion idea. Pour beer in people’s mouths all night. You’ll be the hit of the party. Or shots, or water, whatever you will be consuming.
You could be some kind of anti-priest. Throw some fake blood on the collar and paint a red, upside down cross on the front/back of the robe. Pop the heads off of some dolls and carry them on a belt or wear them as a necklace. maybe cary around some kind of curvy dagger or sword.
Wear a noose around your neck and carry a bag with 30 pieces of silver in it. Then you will be Judas Priest!!!

I like the red sash idea to make you a Cardinal. I’m just trying to figure out a way to incorporate a baseball bat and some scatalogical humor to make you Albert Pujols.
(Exp: Albert Pujols plays for the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team. Last name pronouced “poo holes”)
I like this idea. I love costumes that are visual puns.
