So I just got invited to a wedding on October 31.  The reception is a costume party.  

Any ideas for a costume?  At five months pregnant, I'd like to use the belly in some respect, but seeing as how it's not massive and basketball-esque yet, I think it's a bit early to paint it like a pumpkin.  

I thought I'd throw this out to you guys since you're some of the more creative people I happen to know.  I'll try and post a belly picture later so you can see what we have to work with.  

Thanks in advance.  I know you guys will come through.

Demi Moore?

I haven't thought of any ideas yet. But I really want to be friends with people who'd have this kind of wedding reception.  I am very jealous.

Catholic schoolgirl.

Hell yes! Especially with a preggers belly.  Also, what wombat said.

I'm not going to tell you how many times the thought of being a Nun has crossed my mind.  

But for a wedding, that seems terribly inappropriate.  

As does the pregnant bride.

Guys, guys, the whole pregnant nun/schoolgirl thing is hella played out. Now, jl, if you dressed as a preist, and had like some little boy legs sticking out beneth yr frock or whatever they call it, now that's a little more timely., but not by much. and prolly NSFWedding.

um, how about an arnie mask? what was that movie called?

or just a thing as simple a a NARAL t-shirt or a pro-choice type sign. That would cause a some of the not so bright some definite double-take action.

You could carry around a flask full of "booze" and go on and on about how pregnancy has driven you to drink more than ever.

Then, when people get hoppin' mad, you reveal that you're simply playing a character (to draw attention to the problem of drinking during pregnancy) and that your flask is actually full of nourishing beef broth.

Or get a giant top hat to cover your head/arms, paint your belly to look like a whistling face and dance around.  That stuff always got a laff on America's Funniest People, so it's probably still funny today.

Get you a space marine uniform and have the alien head bursting out of your mid-section.

I have always thought that the maternity BDUs were pretty rad.  If I were you, I would go as the badass tank commander who is nearly-ready-for-maternity-leave.  Woodland or desert camo BDUs (battle dress uniform), sleeves rolled up, bitter, angry, and decorated.  

I used to joke with my ex that he was going to have to carry the babies SUCH AS A MALE SEAhoss DOES, since I was not down with the whole pregnancy thing.  I explained that I'd get some crazy scientist to come up with "the pouch" that would enable JT to carry the fetus to term.  He could get GI maternity BDUs and run around in those. (in case you are not up to speed, my ex-fiance was in the Army and did a tour in Iraq).

make a maternity outfit with a 'viewing bubble' (tm)'; float a baby doll in some thick clear liquid and walk around with that over your belly. Extra points if you use an African American baby doll or a chucky doll giving everyone the finger. or some kind of reptilain scaly thing would be cool too.

Perhaps dressing so that your tummy looks like a beer belly?

Lederhosen and a mustache? - German

perhaps a singlet, shorts, flip flops, terrytoweling hat? - Ozzie

I saw a cute picture of a pregnant lady who had painted a baby in scuba gear peering through a "porthole" on her belly.
