Pet Fashion Show

Including pets in party planning is a unique experience. Take advantage of the situation with this activity that lets the pets be the stars. While the animals may not be amused, a pet fashion show is a silly, creative and memorable event for all the humans involved.

• Create a runway by laying down a long piece of fabric or a plastic tarp. Set up a couple of rows of chairs on each side.
• While guests are eating or doing other activities, assign number to participating pets and get some fun bio facts from their owners.
• When it's time for the show, have the owners walk or carry their pets down the runway.
• Have a few adults act as judges and award prizes. These don't have to be actual gifts; simple ribbons or certificates will do. If possible, make sure each contestant wins something. Some ideas for awards include:

1. Best Dressed
2. Most Creative Outfit
3. Funniest Outfit
4. Ugliest Outfit
5. Most Human-Like Outfit
