Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing my Halloween: Fun Family Costume Ideas! You all know that this is one of my favorite seasons of the whole year and I’m all about sharing the Halloween/Fall inspo that your whole family can enjoy. Keep reading to see these Fun Family Costume Ideas that I LOVE and one’s I’ve done with my family too!
As a young girl I just wanted to be creative with my outfits and people think I was cool. As a young adult you go for the sexiest outfit like a slutty nurse or teacher or well anything once again to be “cool.” As a mom now I walk around in a matching family costume. My parents made my costume every year or put a trash bag over my head and turned me into a ghost. As a mom now we scour through Pinterest and GO ALL OUT in the details to be the best dressed or shelled out lots of money to have elaborate costumes. My parents dropped me off and my brother and I, along with the neighborhood kids, ran from house to house alone in the dark. Parents now, including myself, would NEVER do that. We follow closely behind while watching them trick or treat. I mean we might have a hot toddy or wine in hand but we are right there being the helicopter parents we are.
Immediately after getting our bags of candy we dumped it out on the floor and went through it like savages when I WAS little. NOW it is too scary to eat things from people you don’t know so we check for holes etc. The dentist has a program where kids can trade in candy for toys or gift cards. – Elisabeth Twohill. When you were too old to trick or treat but wanted the candy so you wore a mask and costume so no one would know or “took your younger sibling” just to get the free candy. Now you can actually get fined or serve jail time if you’re over the age of 13 apparently. Um what? The entire month of October WAS spent having scary movie marathons every weekend and hoping your crush would come over and protect you. Oh wait, that hasn’t changed but now it’s just my husband.
Dropping some photos here of costumes my family and I have done in the past. Taking a true trip down memory lane! I think The Avengers family costume was my favorite, but every year has amazing!
I don’t think you’re EVER too old to dress up for Halloween. Us adults are allowed to have fun too! Now we’re just doing it along with our kids. Below I’m sharing some super Fun Costume Ideas for the Entire Family this Halloween! I’ve gotten so much joy out of dressing up with my family over the last couple years and we all have started to look forward to doing it annually. Plus, the costumes I’m sharing are all from Amazon, that way you can be sure they will be to you in time.
