Cupid Costume Ideas

About Cupid

The official spokes-cherub for Valentine's Day hails straight out of Greek Mythology. Cupid was the son of the goddess of love, Aphrodite. Often portrayed as a young boy with wings, Cupid is something of a prankster who enjoys shooting his arrows at people. While no one gets hurt (at least physically), the trick is that whomever Cupid "shoots" falls in love with the next person he sees.

Dressing as Cupid

Tons of Cupid costumes are available to help you get in touch with your softer side. The Stupid Cupid costume features a stuffed bodysuit with oversized butt (complete with heart-shaped "tattoo"!), a toga, small detachable heart-dotted wings, and a red bow and arrow. Add your own touches such as Roman-style sandals or even a goofy wig!

For a sexier version of Cupid guaranteed to set hearts racing, there are a number of cute, short n' sassy Cupid costumes which include a dress, wings, and bow-and-arrow props. Add your own sandals, shoes, or even tons of body glitter to complete this fun look!
