I already have “Pregnant Nun” I’m not worried about being offensive, or practicality. I’m just looking for funny. Any ideas? ---

The nun costume is cheap, too. Go to a costume store and pick up the pre-packaged one for about $20.00. Pregnant vampire? That might be weirdly cool… Long black wig, cape, mini-skirt with thigh-high black leather boots. Booyah! Stick that stomach out, girl! Be proud! ---

I had one pregnant girl show up at my party with a slashed T-shirt and Helter Skelter written in blood on it. She came as Sharon Tate. ---

A big white T-shirt stretched over her belly with the logo “ **Who’s my Daddy? You’re my Daddy!** ” would be plenty scary (to men at least). ---

Very easy costume- Get a large cardboard box. Cut the bottom out. Cut out three holes (one on top & two on the sides) for her head & arms. Use your artistic talent to turn the box into a stove. Draw burners on top and make an oven door that can open to reveal her extended tummy. Fasten a bun to this part of her anatomy. Her partner in crime can go as the chef, attired in apron and hat with possibly a turkey baster as an accessory. ---
