Our family isn’t new to Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-fil-a. I’ve been going every year for as long as they have had it, and the last three years, I’ve drug Hubs and Red with me. We even “dressed” him up when he went! This year will be no different, and on Tuesday July 10th, we will don our ears, tails, and spots; heading to Chick-fil-A for our free meal. That’s right… a free meal. Wear one dominant cow piece and you get a free entree. Make a whole outfit and you get a free meal. (This offer may vary at a restaurant near you, so be sure to check!) Chick-fil-a offers a great free printable cow costume for Cow Appreciation Day to get you started.
I literally have no excuses for our poor cow costumes of the past, other than I ran out of time. Being a costume designer is like being the children of the cobbler… we don’t get any shoes because I’m too busy making them for other people. While I am at least making our one day in advance for Cow Appreciation Day this year, it’s never too late to share a tutorial with you… or a roundup!! Other fabulous bloggers have their stuff together and put together some complex, easy, fast and detailed outfits that you can replicate! Unlike the printer paper and marker one I made for Red’s first outing…

Find more cow appreciation day outfits on my Cow Appreciation Pinterest Board, where I’m sure I’ll still be collecting ideas until we get in the car to leave for our Chick-fil-a sandwiches. With extra pickles. And a lemonade. Because, Mmmmmmmmm.
Super cute. I’ve always printed the kits off and put the costumes together. You’d think I would save them!
I always want to do this to get free chicken, but usually forget when Cow Appreciation Day gets here! Maybe I can pull it off in time this year.
I didn’t even now about cow day! Great information! And love the family pix!
I didn’t even know there was a cow appreciation day! These costumes are adorable!
These costumes are so cute! I’ll have to try to put something together!
Great costumes- yay for free Chic Fil A
What a great costume. How fun!
Cow appreciation day, huh? I’ve never heard of it, but got a great laugh looking at some of these costumes!
I know that chick FIL a does their appreciation day, but our only ones are 20 and 30 minutes away. I actually only get to eat there about once or twice a year!
Cow Appreciation Day? Too cute! The costumes are great
I love that Chick Fil A inspires this in people. It’s so much fun!
We are huge Chick-fil-A lovers! Can’t wait to go tomorrow and see everyone’s costumes!
I want to go! I will do anything for some free Chick-Fil-A!
We don’t have any nearby and I’ve never eaten there. The Cow Print fabric Outfits are super cute though!
OMGosh this is hilarious! We just had one open up last year so I’m not familiar with this stuff but how fun!
I like the cow pillow case dresses lol. Super cute. Great ideas! 🙂
How fun!! I love the baby calf in training sign. 🙂 Cool that Chick Fil a does this, I bet it’s fun to go in all dressed up.
What a fun idea! I wish we had Chick Fil A here! I would be all over that!
Oh goodness how cute! We don’t have chick-Fil-a here but seems really great!
We have never been to cow appreciation day. I really need to get our act together for next year! Maybe we could go together… as a herd!
