When writing the previous blogs on costumes, I realized that there were some pretty awesome group costumes and couple’s costumes that I wanted to highlight. I saw them and immediately fell in love with these ideas. So for those of you that have friends that don’t know what to wear or for those of you that want to dress up with a significant other, this is the blog for you!
Group Costumes
- The Three Witches from Hocus Pocus
This costume is more extravagant but it is a classic Halloween story. Now these are men in the photo and while it would be funny for guys to go drag in this costume, really anyone could do this. You may need to go online and buy the actual dresses and accessories to construct these outfits but it would be a very successful group costume.
I don’t know… I just love this!
- Pacman/Ms. Pacman and the Ghosts (red- blinky, pink- pinky, teal- inky, orange- Clyde)
- now these costumes can be executed in many different ways:
You could have a classic sheet ghost get-up with the sheets dyed to match each ghost with a big cardboard pacman.
You can also do cardboard cutouts
- Shark Week!
This one you could do with a group of seven (as depicted below) or you could do this with a smaller crowd and have some people be multiple days of the week. And it would be a cheaper one to put together! All you need are the hats, or even just a fin, and the bloodied, day-of-the-week tee-shirts.
- The Ruggrats!
You can have as many or as few people participating in this group costume. But you should have at least a Tommy, Chuckie, Angelica, and Phil and Lil. Other characters that you can add are Dil, Kimi, and Suzie.
For this group costume, you would need to invest in some crazy wigs, bald caps… also one of your group members has to be okay with going out in a diaper 🙂
But this would be so cute and if enough commitment is put into it, you could win any costume contest out there!
- Ninja Turtles
Got four people exactly? Go as the ninja turtles! This one can be as extravagant or as laid back as you’d like. Here is a link to a more detailed costume. Here is a link to a simpler suit. If the cheaper one appeals to you and you want to know how to make the shell all you have to do is get a disposable cake pan and paint it brown and green!
Couples Costumes!
- Amy and Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory! (I’m totally doing this one in the future) Its adorable and simple enough that you wont have to spend an arm and a leg making it. Here is a link to it.
- The Soldier and Girl from the iconic end of WWII picture! Here is a link to the pic… It is adorable and simple to make. Also it involves a lot of kissing to match the pose 😉
- Mary Poppins and Bert! As seen in my previous post, I can show you how to make Mary Poppins’s costume but for Bert the only real accessories needed that you’ll need to go out and get is a chimney sweep broom and a golf hat. Here is a link to it!
I hope I could be of service!
