Ideas for Family-Themed Halloween Costumes
Halloween is just around the corner, so it’s time to get those creative juices flowing and think about some cute costume ideas! Whether it’s for the gram or just for your own eyes only, dressing up for Halloween is always fun. If you’ve drawn a blank when it comes to family-themed costumes, this post might help spark some ideas. Keep reading for some DIY options and tips if you’re going all out!
Don’t Break The Bank
I get it - buying a costume in the store can sometimes come with a hefty price tag! If you want to save some cash, it’s time to get on your DIY horse. You would be surprised at just how many incredible halloween costumes that you can create from various items that you probably have in your home. I’ve shared a few images here that were created for under $20. The 80s Workout Buddies is always a hit! Some other examples include: Danny and Sandy from Grease, Dora and Diego, Rock stars, Hula fam, school girls, professional athletes in their game jerseys, besties from the 70s or Zobmies (or mummies like we did here).
It Takes Two To Tango
If you prefer to let the kids do their own thing, get your partner to step up and play along. I really do love a good couples themed outfit. JLo and P Diddy is a fan favourite, but other great couples outfits are: Kim K and Kanye, Batman and Robin, Bonnie and Clyde, Superman and Superwoman!
This one’s for the music lovers
Pick your favourite artist and refer to one of their infamous outfits on stage or take note of their album covers. Next step is just getting on that DIY tip! We dressed up here as Rihanna and her dancers from the 2023 Superbowl. You can get pretty creative when it comes to musicians; think Olivia Rodrigo with stickers on her face from her album SOUR or do it up like Lenny Kravitz and his big scarves! Have fun and the possibilities are endless!
With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility
If you’re looking for a quick idea for a family theme this halloween, superoheroes are the way to go. There are so may options and some that you can do for a big or small family. We are big Avengers fans, but you can simply go with Batman and Robin, The Incredbiles or even PJ Masks!
Flip The Switch
The Flip the Switch challenge was a viral dance trend on TikTok in 2020, which used a Drake lyric to get people to trade identities with each other. This is a fun idea you can do with your partner and it doesn’t cost a penny!
When in doubt, pick a movie
If you’re still stuck on ideas, try going through your list of favourite movies. The options are endless and you can blow people out of the water with your creativity! Have fun with this one because you really can’t go wrong! Some ideas include: Ghostbusters, Harry Potter, Wayne’s World, or The Breakfast Club.
We have two hands; one to help yourself and second to help others
Over the last two years many of us showed our utmost respect for our front line workers and community helpers for obvious reasons. If you are looking to show some love, hook you and the fam up with matching costumes for the occasion. Think doctors, nurses, police officers, teachers, vets and fire fighters!
