Turn on the battery-operated fan and allow the suit to fully inflate around you.

Slip on the bright red shoes or pull the red boot covers over your footwear.

Tips

Bring extra AA batteries for the inflatable suit's fan so you don't deflate mid-party.
The inflatable suit can get warm inside, so wear lightweight, moisture-wicking clothes underneath.
Practice navigating doorways and tight spaces beforehand, as the round shape makes you much wider than usual.
