Do you love matching Halloween costumes?!  Our family does!  Matching costumes adds to the excitement of Halloween and gets the whole family involved.  There are so many ways to get ideas for your matching family Halloween costumes.  Our family loves to get the kids involved in choosing what the theme will be.

There are so many options to choose from.  If your party is large consider doubling up some of the costumes to ensure that everyone can be involved.

Popular Family Costumes

You may have already guessed that the most popular family costumes are Disney movie characters and there are so many to choose from.  You could choose a movie as the theme such as Monsters Inc.  Or a specific kind of characters, like Superhero’s or Princesses.

The princesses could be really fun with each person getting to be a different princess.     

Characters from your favorite book like Harry Potter is great for a large group because there are so many options.  Here are some great costumes you can buy for Harry Potter:

Rock Paper Scissors:

If your kids are anything like mine they find time to play Rock paper scissors whenever they are bored.  Turn this fun game into clever and simple group costume, each person dresses as one part of the classic game with matching t-shirts and coordinating colors. It’s great for families of three and sure to get smiles and laughs.

 DIY Costumes

If you are like me and have a large family Halloween can be expensive.  Costumes are not cheap and picking up the candy to give out is also not cheap.  We are forever looking for ways to save money.  One of the ways is using items we already have at home to create costumes where we can.  I am far from a crafty person so I am not talking about sewing costumes.

• Solar System Family: Each family member dresses as a planet, the sun, or an astronaut for an educational and colorful space-themed costume set.

• Farmyard Fun: Perfect for families with young kids or pets! Adults dress as farmers and kids as barnyard animals like cows, pigs, or chickens. Simple clothing and face paint make this look easy to create at home.

Take the Photos

As I mentioned before your kids will not want to trick or treat with you forever.  So be sure to get as many photos as you can each year on Halloween.  I hope these ideas help you to create an unforgettable Halloween Season with your family.  For more family fun and family travel ideas be sure to check out Blog – Together We Can Travel.
