Make Halloween super fun for your family with these popular family costume ideas! I worked with HalloweenCostumes.com on this project, although all of these awesome costume ideas and opinions are all my own! And, they’re even offering a gift card giveaway – isn’t that awesome?!
10 Most Popular Family Costume Ideas
It’s hard to believe that Halloween is just around the corner. The older my kiddos get, the more I start to realize that the trick-or-treating years are quickly coming to a close. My, my, my how quickly that arrived.
So, it’s time to go all out. It’s time to rally the troops and become the fun family. It’s time… to get everyone dressed up in group Halloween costumes and involved this year in the Halloween festivities. We are doing the family costumes this year, and I cannot wait! What are family costumes or group costumes you ask? It’s where we pick a theme and everyone matches in that theme. For example, maybe it’s funny group costumes along the lines of all hamburger condiments, or maybe all Disney family Halloween costumes. The point is that the costumes are all related in one way or another. How fun, right?!
I set out to my favorite Halloween Costumes retailer HalloweenCostumes.com to come up with the best group costume ideas and family Halloween costume ideas. The best part is that you can even change these into costumes for 3 people, or some, just use them as baby Halloween costumes. And, if it’s just a couple heading out for a night of Halloween fun on the town, the adult Halloween costumes can just be worn, aside from the whole group. The possibilities are endless.
Here are some of the SUPER adorable ideas I came across.
Alice in Wonderland Family Halloween Costume Set
Could this set be any cuter? With the little girl as Alice, mom as the Mad Hatter, Another kiddo as rabbit and Dad as the Cheshire Cat, how much cuter can this get? And, I love it that HalloweenCostumes.com has all of the accessories ready to select on the page with each costume, too. Or, use what you have – like Alice for example, could totally be worn with black dress shoes that little ladies already wear — our kids would remember this for ages!
These are all exclusive costumes to HalloweenCostumes.com, too so no one else will be wearing these exact same ones at the party – winning, I’d say!
Grease Family Halloween Costume Set
“Go Grease Lightning!” Bring back a bit of the “olden days” for your little ones with this costume ensemble. I imagine you can probably guess who will play each part, but let’s just say mom, dad, sons and/or daughters will each be sporting some prett-ty sweet jackets! You’ll be for sure the coolest family on the block when you have this set of costumes going for you — how fun!
Back to the Future Family Halloween Costume Set
This is the perfect set if you’re looking for costumes for 3 people! Get Marty McFly in the Men’s version, or have Marty be in the women’s getup here (or both!) and have this adorable Doc Brown costume for the kiddos – seriously, how much fun is this? It’s like we’re right back in 1985, aren’t we? And, who didn’t love the 80’s?!
Wizard of Oz Family Halloween Costume Set
“There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home.” And, you’ll all feel right at home with this costume choice! Dad could be the Tin Man, Mom, of course is Dorothy, and then you’ve got the Cowardly Lion and the Scarecrow — adorable! This would also be a great costume set for a group of friends, too!
Does your daughter want to be Dorthy? No problem, HalloweenCostumes.com is prepared with kids sizes in all of these costumes here, too.
The Incredibles Family Halloween Costume Set
Is there a cuter super hero family than The Incredibles? Nope, probably not! Don the whole entire Incredible Family with Mr. Incredible, Mrs. Incredible, Dash and Jack Jack – How cute! Are you looking for family costumes for 5 or costumes for 6 family members? This is a great idea for group costumes as the kids can match Mr. Incredible, or Mrs. Incredible! Sweet!
Harry Potter Family Halloween Costume Set
You’d TOTALLY be the cool parents if you dressed the family up for Halloween as the #1 best-selling characters from the Harry Potter series, right? With your child as the star of the show wearing a lookalike Harry Potter costume, Luna Lovegood and Hermione, this group family costume idea is a major winner!
Head here to see the many Harry Potter costume ideas that HalloweenCostumes has cooked up! The Dementor costume is even in the mix (wow, that’d be scary to see coming at you!)
Superhero Family Halloween Costume Set
Has it been a superhero kind of year? Has your family faced some serious adversity? Or, all you all just super awesome? Then a group of superheroes is for sure a consideration for your family! There are loads of options to add to your group on the superheroes page here on HalloweenCostumes.com – this is a great group Halloween costume idea for coworkers, or a good group costume idea for friends as well, as everyone can pick their own super hero to be and it’s all in the same theme, keeping the group cohesive.
A League of Their Own Family Halloween Costume Set
Does your family love the game of baseball? Well, what else would you choose than to dress up as the characters from the baseball classic movie “A League of Their Own”?? Get Coach Jimmy here for dad, Dottie here for mom and a little coach Jimmy exclusive to HalloweenCostumes.com here or a little Dottie here (seriously, adorable!) This is great if you’re looking for costumes for 3 people, or if anyone isn’t completely “sold” on dressing all the way up. Also, a great idea if you want costumes without painted faces, or costumes without masks.
Disco Fever Family Halloween Costume Set
If you have older kids, bring in some super serious FUN with a Disco Costume set. You’d for sure be the coolest parents on the block – and show the kids what the 70’s fashion was made up of! I am loving this women’s 70’s disco jumpsuit, the women’s disco ball diva costume, and how about this men’s disco king getup – too fun! See all of the disco costumes here!
Skeleton Family Halloween Costume Set
Skeletons are the hallmark of the Halloween holiday. Like a cornerstone, you know. What is a Halloween without skeletons? Have your whole entire family dress up as skeletons for the cutest traditional family costume idea ever! I mean, seriously, could this little girls skeleton costume be any cuter?! And, I’m just saying, the women’s skeleton costume that I have in mind here is something I might wear to a party any day, well, minus the bones 🙂 But, for Halloween? PERFECT! The skeleton costume for dad is even made by HalloweenCostumes.com so you likely won’t see another like it — but it’s pretty freaky if I do say so myself! And, for the little one? You’re probably not going to find a more adorable little costume than this one here — too cute!

Yes,
My little cousin loves the plush though he cannot seem to understand the concept of bowling. He loves the texture of the figures and throws the ball in an attempt to knock down the pins. This toy is great even if not used as expected.
