“When the witches go riding, and black cats are seen, the moon laughs and whispers ’tis near Halloween.” -Anonymous.

Disney Costume Themes
101 Dalmatians
Spotted: the cutest family theme for you and your crew! If you don’t mind being Cruella de Vil, kiddos of any age and gender will make adorable little puppies. This theme is an easy and doable last-minute costume that you can make yourself.
Toy Story
Another fun costume idea for kids of any age and stage, the Toy Story theme has costume inspiration for everyone: choose from Woody, Buzz, Jesse, and even Barbie. Another cute idea: if you have twins, make each one an end of Slinky Dog!
Star Wars & Baby Yoda
In my book, Star Wars-related costumes are always in style, especially if you have a new baby. There are so many options, and everyone looks stellar, 😉. Grandparents can definitely join in the fun with this versatile theme!
The Little Mermaid
Summer may be over, but who says you can’t take one more dip “under the sea?” If your daughter adores Ariel, center your family costume around your very own little mermaid! Siblings and even pets can join as seaworthy sidekicks, like Sebastian, the crab. And what dad wouldn’t be thrilled to be King Triton?
Monsters Inc.
This is a great family choice if you want to embrace the monster theme without being too scary. Fun for everyone!
Easy DIY costumes
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Green sweat suits, fabric embellishments, and felt masks make these costumes easy to put together. Add a few “weapon” accessories from the party store or Amazon, and you’re ready to go.
Superheroes
Here’s a super idea for an easy DIY! Moms and dads, the real heroes, don’t always wear capes, but you can this Halloween! Put your hero title into action and make your family superheroes. These costumes are surprisingly simple to create for every member of your family.
Shark Attack
Can’t get “baby shark” out of your head? Turn it into Halloween inspiration! Add this baby shark costume to your registry, and DIY the rest!
Ice, Ice Baby
Who would’ve thought this ’90s classic would make such a hilarious and unique costume idea? “Ice, Ice Baby” is an easy last-minute theme that requires only a few garbage bags, sunglasses, and lyrics to make a memorable costume.
Big Family Halloween Costumes
Board Games
We love family board game night costumes. Each of your family’s personalities can shine through their favorite board game. Whether you choose Candy Land, Mr. Monopoly Man, Uno, or Hungry Hippo, the ideas are endless!
Zoo Keepers and Animals
Who doesn’t feel like a zoo keeper every now and then as a mom? This theme gives your kids the freedom to choose their favorite animals, from a cute flamingo to lions, tigers, and bears; oh my!
Breakfast Feast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and it makes for a cute costume theme, too! Perfect for big families with both older and younger kids, this breakfast feast is also doable as a DIY project if you’re feeling crafty!
Pregnancy Halloween Costumes
Bump Ahead
Pregnancy isn’t always a magical time for everyone, and getting dressed can be challenging. Keep it simple on Halloween! We love this “Bump Ahead” theme, especially if you have a little boy who loves all things trucks.
Spaghetti is Served!
We love easy costumes, and this one couldn’t be easier. All you need is a red shirt and a Prego label. Plus, look at that cute spaghetti baby!
The Non-Coordinating Halloween Costumes
The Homemade, The Spontaneous, The Creative
If you’re not the family who coordinates costumes, THAT’S OKAY. If each of your children wants to be something different, let them be little and choose to dress up as something they love. Even though social media and magazines make us think we need to be picture-perfect for each holiday, knowing your kids are happy and having fun is the best treat of all on Halloween!
Halloween is full of sweet moments.
No matter what costume you choose, I hope your Halloween is full of sweet moments you’ll savor long after the candy is gone!
For even more costume ideas, take a look at our Family Halloween Amazon store, so you can easily find an option for every member of your family.
If you are expecting, be sure to add some cute costumes to your registry, as they will make the cutest gifts to open. And if your baby is due around the holiday season, check out our Autumn-Themed Baby Shower blog to get fun fall-themed ideas.
