February Nominated for Costume Month of the Year
Oscar Nominations have been announced so, following in suit, we're nominating February as a strong candidate for "Costume Month of the Year." While it's tough to top October or December due to the incredible popularity of both Halloween and Christmas, February has an abundance of holidays and events going on in its favor. Super Bowl XLIV is this weekend and we've got the Football Player Costumes and Football-Themed Party Supplies to help you enjoy the game to the fullest. The Winter Olympics in Vancouver start on the 12th and kids can cheer on the US in a Cheerleader Uniform as adults host an Olympic-sized bash with Red, White and Blue Party Supplies. Valentine's Day is for lovers and our selection of Romantic Costumes and Valentine's Day Party Supplies will leave you smitten. Presidents Day follows on February 15; take your place in Oval Office lore with any of our historic Presidential Disguises. Veteran costumers look forward to Mardi Gras most of all for the elaborate outfits infused with New Orleans' celebratory spirit and this year there's no down time before Fat Tuesday rolls around on the 16th. Wrapping up this exciting month is the Jewish festival Purim and as you can clearly see, February goes non-stop, full to the brim with reasons to dress up. We're anticipating consistent fun right up until March 1st; join in the revelry with a costume (or two) to wear on these joyous days!
Be My Valentine in Costume
As we previously mentioned, February may be the shortest month but it's chock-full of costume-worthy happenings with the biggest occurring smack in the middle. Valentine's Day on the 14th starts a trio of disguise days that also includes Presidents Day, a tribute to historical commanders-in-chief George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, on February 15th and the mischievous worldwide carnival celebration Mardi Gras on "Fat Tuesday" the 16th. Events like these are all in due time, so let's first focus on the romantic holiday of love, Valentine's Day. Sure, you could take the traditional route of flowers, chocolate and a candlelight dinner to mark the occassion but what we're thinking will stand out even more is a classic, colorful, maybe even sexy costume to wear or give as a gift to a loved one. So start thinking Cupid, Angel, Venus and alluring looks for couples in plain sight or behind closed doors and you'll be well on your way to a memorable Valentine's Day 2010. Check out our full selection here and feel the love in the air as the calendar inches closer to February 14th!
