if you have access to large clear plastic bags that would fit over you, you can blow up colored baloons (small) and go as a bag of jelly beans.

hobo, mother nature, hippy, you could just show up in your pjs with a teddy bear and your hair in pigtails...althought a pregnant little kid might be a bit disturbing...my vote is for mother nature...use a sheet for a toga dress...drape some silk flowers or christmas garland over the dress...put some flowers in your hair and done...this is all i've got for now.
Maybe a pirate? Cropped pants, boots, hoop earrings, scarf over head...maybe even a striped shirt?
That's my best idea.
Hope you're well,

Two years ago Cheese was a garbage can. She used a can and drilled holes in it to lace string through (like a backpack except she wore it on the front). We took a wig and hot glued stuff from the recycling on the can and sewed some to the wig. It was a hit (maybe too good because this year she wants to be a laundry basket and I don't know if it will get her as many laughs this year). You could tell everybody that your new baby is making you feel like garbage. She is altering it this year to be a laundry basket. Good Luck!
familyfun.com has some great costume ideas that are easy to pull together quickly too.
Go as a crayon - two pieces of poster board held together with a ribbon over your shoulders and draw the crayola markings on them. Or a gypsy, tie a scarf around your head drape yourself in anything that resembles beads over a long colored skirt and some sort of flowing shirt. The mother earth idea is always a very good one and pretty easy. Along the same lines you can tease out your hair and with some face makeup go as the bride of frankenstein. Old missionary tag provides an instant - if dull - costume. Dress in black and draw a cat face - super easy.
Get a box wrap in pretty paper and cut holes for arms. Get a paper and write to and from. To: Earth From: God. And be God's gift to Earth lol I heard it on the radio
Bubba-- I am laughing so hard right now. That is the perfect idea for PSM! ;)
Just dont dress up, only the missionaries did last year anyway. But you could dress up like an American tourist, with a floral shirt and big white tennis shoes and a huge camera around your neck. And then talk really loudly and point a lot. Practice on the metro on the way to the party. It'll be great. Or you could tape or pin some leaves onto a dress and go with that bride of frankenstein thing. Good luck.
Great ideas everyone! I still haven't been able to pull enough together for one outfit!! Let alone the fact that I don't have what we need for Ruby's finished.
And I know only the missionaries did last year...but the entire committee is making a big deal about being dressed up...I need to tell you that in my memory as an adult I have dressed up once. I hate doing it!
Okay lava lava, sandals, flower in your hair - you're a polynesian and your costume is complete.
I have EVERYTHING for that!! Hooray!! You saved me!!
hmmm....did i miss the costume help boat or what?! my default costume (b/c that's really how i want to dress every day) is a gypsy. so keep that in your back pocket for next year--you prob have all the stuff. :)
