Last Minute Family Halloween Costume Ideas
It’s not always easy to ask your family to follow a theme for Halloween – especially when you have little kids! Over the years we have convinced the girls to dress up for photos, but never trick-or-treating. My sister-in-law has better luck with family costumes since she and my brother-in-law work around the kids’ ideas. Whether you are looking to purchase easy Halloween costumes or inspiration for a last minute homemade Halloween costume, here are some great ideas:
- A League of their Own (coach and players)
- The Flintstones
- Elliott, Gertie + E.T.
- Ted Lasso + his team
- The Shining
- Superheroes
- Christmas Vacation – definitely for an older group, Cousin Eddie, Cousin Catherine, Ruby Sue, Clark, Ellen, etc. Grandparents can even get involved!
- The Incredibles Family
- Dress as each other – kids are Mom and Dad and parents are the kids (wear name tags)
- Doctor, Nurse, Patient
- Any type of coach (whistle) + referee (black and white striped shirt) + kids in sports outfits
I think the EASIEST last minute family costume idea would be something involving GHOSTS and bedsheets. All you need are bedsheets in various sizes and a pair of scissors!
Here are photos of our Family Halloween Costumes over the years (in-laws included):
A special thanks to my sister-in-law for sharing her family photos and my husband for orchestrating our Halloween family costumes.
