Funny Costume Ideas - Be the Life of the Party!

Do you want to have a lot of fun at the next costume party? Go funny! Let me help you out with some funny costume ideas.

With a little creative thinking you can turn yourself into a funny character and have everyone at the party laughing their socks off!

Speaking of socks! What could you do with socks? You could tape them to yourself along with some dryer sheets and walla! You can go as "Static Cling"!

Take a look through your refrigerator. See what you find that you can emulate. Let's see, how about a baked potato? Just wrap yourself in some tin foil for starters. And if you are really creative you can even add the toppings.

People are another source of some great potentially laughable costumes. Think about all the people out there you can turn yourself into.

How about a 1960s Hippy? An old man or woman? I bet you could turn yourself into paparazzi or an artist - painter or a scarecrow.

Of course you could go the route of a clown... All you need to get started is a red nose and go from there! Add colorful clothing, big shoes and a horn and you got yourself entertainment all evening long. Or should I say, you will be the entertainment.

What I love about clown costumes is you naturally become... funny! I went as a clown to my last costume party. It was a birthday and the birthday girl just loves costume parties! Well, I never had a funner time. I had this big afro and clothing that made people literally fall over laughing!

So you can dress up as many things, but there's nothing better then turning the glances into everyone laughing out loud and congratulating you... and maybe even thanking you for making their night.
And who knows? You might even win a contest if there is one. Funny works!

I recommend seeing what you can do just from the things you have around your house. First, it will often be cheaper then some of the high priced costumes out there, but it will also make you more unique and fun!

Otherwise there are plenty of places online that you can buy costumes. Go shopping and discover a ton of options. You can buy costumes... including funny ones. But you can also just put together bits and pieces... like that nose I mentioned above. Buy a nose for a few bucks and make up the rest.

Everyone loves funny.. I hope you found my funny costume ideas helpful. just do it!
