Easter Costume 2011

Easter is one of the two biggest costume holidays after Halloween. (The other being Christmas). The Easter Bunny, aka Peter Cottontail, starts to make his appearance this time of year. He can be found at the mall, posing for photos with kids or he can be found at community Easter egg hunts. Whatever the event, there is an Easter Bunny Costume for every budget. You can check your area for Bunny Costumes for rent, or you can purchase one online.

The cheapest route for an Easter Bunny Costume would be to buy a Mask and wear a white sweatshirt and sweatpants. This would be a good choice if you just want to snap a few silly photos with the kids on Easter morning and don't want to put a lot of money or effort into it. Or you can get Easter Bunny Ears or a Bunny Hat.

The next step up would be an open-faced Easter Bunny Costume. This is also great for use around children that are scared by the full over-the-head masks. I am attending an Easter Bunny themed dance and this would be an excellent choice for the event.

For Easter Egg Hunts or events where children (and some adults!) will be taking photos with the Easter Bunny, you will probably want a full over-the-head Mascot Quality Costume. You can find these at all different price points. Two examples are a Plush Easter Bunny and a more deluxe Mascot.

The Easter Bunny is not the only costume used at Easter. Many churches put on a Passion Play and need various costumes for the production. Makeup is required for the crucifixion scene, and many sizes of Stage Blood and Liquid Latex are available.

A few of the costumes and makeup items needed are as follow:
Roman Soldier
Roman Armor
Jesus Costume
Jesus Wig & Beard
Stage Blood
Liquid Latex

There are many Easter traditions that have been celebrated for many generations. Some of them are serious and some of them are fun. Whatever the event, costumes help create a lasting memory.
