Tips for Planning Group Halloween Costumes
Keep it Simple – Choose costumes that don’t require a ton of extra work or shopping. Think t-shirts and accessories that are simple to purchase and can be paired with items that your group already has.
Plan for All Ages – If your group spans kids and adults, go for a theme that works for everyone, like candy or movies. That way, no one feels left out!
Set a Budget – Costumes can get expensive fast. Look for ideas that let you DIY a bit or reuse things you already have.
Divide and Conquer – Don’t take on all the work yourself. Delegate pieces of the costumes to other group members. Maybe one person orders the shirts while another decides on the accessories.
Shop Early – Waiting until the last minute means more stress and fewer options. Use the links in this post to grab everything you need ASAP and skip the last minute trip to the craft store.
Costume Ideas
Rock, Paper, Scissors is one of my favorite Halloween costumes for small groups. It’s super easy and fun. You’ll be sure to get a few laughs with this one!
Crayons are great Halloween costumes for groups because you can add as many as you need and everyone can pick their favorite color. I love to pair them with a cute hat or headband to complete the look.
UNO is another easy theme that can be put together in seconds. You can add to the theme by adding some game night elements to your party.
Seven Dwarfs brings back some memories and is so fun to pair with people’s personalities. Let each person choose their character and get creative with the accessories like glasses, dwarf hats, or beards.
Inside Out is another fun costume idea that can be matched to personalities or just pick your favorite color or character from the movie
Tootsie Roll Pops can work for a few people or a larger group. Grab a big bag of the candy to hand out at your party or event to keep the theme going!
M&M’s are a classic and fun way to bring a group together. You can even ask someone to dress up as the bag and hand out small packs to your trick-or-treaters.
Superhero costumes can be customized to fit the group. You can stick with the classics, or create your own superhero names for each member of the group. This one is great for teachers because it’s simple and can be easily worn over your normal teacher clothes for a party or event.
The Boo Crew works well for groups of volunteers or party planners who don’t want an elaborate costume. It gives you a Halloween vibe and some cohesion with the group without feeling like you’re overdoing it.
PacMan is a super fun group costume because you can play around with it and act our some scenes from the classic game. If you’re planning a house party, you can add a maze and some fun accessories for kids (and adults) to navigate.
