I don’t know about you all, but my family loves a themed Halloween costume. Over the years, I’ve always appreciated the families who get creative and fully commit to their costumes. After all, I know how much work goes into the planning. Plus, it definitely makes for a party-stopping, Instagram-worthy, talk-of-the-neighborhood night when your family goes all in.
To be honest, I never really liked dressing up myself on Halloween, at least not until we had children. Once we did, everything changed. That’s when I finally jumped on the train and got excited to experience the magic and fun of family Halloween costumes. When Jules was born, James and I started the tradition of coordinating our outfits each year. Now, with Jameson making us a family of four, we’re going on four years strong with some truly memorable costumes.
As the years go by, we hope to keep this tradition alive for as long as Jules and Jameson want to dress up with us. For now, though, they’re just as excited as we are. In fact, they love helping us brainstorm costume ideas and come up with new themes.
Over time, we’ve spent countless hours scrolling through Pinterest for inspiration. When searching for ideas, we always focus on what’s realistic for our family, especially since free time is hard to find. As much as I love the creativity behind family Halloween costumes, I also value convenience. Therefore, I tend to prefer costumes we can easily order online.
After doing the research, I am here to provide you with a list of super fun family Halloween costumes, from the frightful, fun, popular or easy, depending on your family size or vibe. The trick is to get your kids to keep the costumes on and the treat is to get those photos that will last long past the spooky season!
