Valentine’s Day brings thoughts of candy, hearts, flowers, and of course, Cupid. Cupid is the god of desire, erotic love, affection, and attraction in Greek mythology. Cupid is known for carrying around his bow and arrow, and if struck by Cupid’s arrow, the person shot becomes overwhelmed by desire. This Valentine’s Day, if you want to add a little spice to your relationship, consider dressing as Cupid for your significant other. A Cupid costume is also a great idea for a Valentine’s Day themed party. Here are some helpful suggestions for putting together the perfect Cupid costume that is sure to guarantee that love will be in the air this February 14th.
Cupid Costumes for Kids
Most of the costumes for kids that can be used for playing Cupid are actually angel costumes. You can dye them to change the color or just not use the halo and save the costume for use later as an angel (at Christmas or Easter). Here is a selection for infants, toddlers and young children although you can also find some for teens. For boys, a white pair of pants and shirt with a pair of wings shown further down the page would work nicely for a Cupid costume.

Cupid Costume for Men
There aren’t many Cupid costumes for men to wear for Valentine’s Day. Instead, it is better to piece together a male Cupid costume from an angel costume or wings and then add the bow and arrow and sandals. The wings below are a great choice to start a male Cupid costume.

Cupid Costumes for Women
Women have more options when it comes to Cupid costumes. Most of the ready-made costumes are meant to be sexy for Valentine’s Day. However, you can buy a pre-made costume or buy the elements you need to make your own. Having wings to add to your own clothing is also fun. Then you can use the wings for other occasions such as a costume party or Halloween.

Fabric For Making Cupid’s Diaper
When many people think of Cupid, they think of the impish toddler version with the wings, diaper, and bow and arrow. If you’re a guy who wants to attempt this look that your Valentine would find adorable, all you really need is some quality cotton fabric. Crafty Cuts offers 2 yard pieces of white cotton fabric that should be large enough for even a bigger person. To make the “diaper”, simply fold fabric into a triangular shape that is large enough to fit you. Pin each side with a large safety pin to secure it. Diaper could be worn over the usual undergarments if going out in public for a costumed occasion. Combine with a pair of feather wings and bow and arrow to complete the Cupid look. These baby diaper safety pins for adults will work perfectly to secure the fabric in place. Safety pins are three inches long, with colored plastic head with safety catch. The safety pins are made from stainless steel and are sold by the pair. Your Valentine will be sure to appreciate your efforts.
