Everyone will love these funny DIY costumes that are perfect for 3, for 4, or for families with a baby. #halloween #halloweencostumes #DIY #familycostumes #costumes #family

 

 
 

How’s this for a shock: My both my 6-year-old AND 3-year-old decided what to wear for Halloween weeks ago…and haven’t changed their minds once!

That doesn’t mean I started making their costumes yet, though.

Seriously, these kids are likely to change their minds completely with one or two days to spare.

If only they would agree to wear a family-themed costume. Wouldn’t that be so much fun? Can’t you imagine roaming the neighborhood together, all dressed up in get-ups that make sense with each other?

A woman can dream.

Well, we may not be joining in that level of fun, but I love to see it when families embrace coordinated costumes together. And there are some amazing family themed costumes out there, too!

Here are 7 awesome family themed costumes that are perfect for families with little kids or toddlers!

Peter Pan

Let’s start with this adorable Peter Pan Getup from Gourmet by Janae. Dressing up the baby as Peter Pan is just perfect. And I love that Janae even got the little puffs on her shoes. So cute!

Krispy Kreme

Who doesn’t love donuts? And I especially love how easy this Krispy Kreme family costume is to pull together. It’s a great creative use of store-bought items, if you ask me. Of course, our girls would insist on being pink donuts with sprinkles, and I love the idea of making the baby a little chocolate eclair. He’s already adorable enough to eat! (See more at Pink Pistachio)

My Neighbor Totoro

Our family loves My Neighbor Totoro, as well as many of the other Hayao Miyazaki movies. Ever since we watched My Neighbor Totoro for the first time, I’ve had visions of all three kids dressed as the different Totoro sizes. Then again All About Ami did a fantastic job recreating the main characters with the entire family!

Despicable Me

Minions…they’re so destructive, yet so adorable! If we had three girls, I would definitely push to recreate this Despicable Me family costume idea from CosGeek. Maybe I can dress the baby as a Minion? He would be perfect for that.

Monsters Inc.

Monsters Inc holds a special place in my heart. Our oldest would hardly watch any other movie for years! In fact, both of our girls loved monsters thanks to this movie. Which is why I couldn’t pass up sharing High Heels to Sneakers‘ family-themed Monsters Inc. costume.

 

Shark Attack

This one is for all the Shark week lovers out there! This must be the most adorable sharks I’ve ever seen. And I love how the father is dressed as the wounded surfer. But does that mean the mom is dressed as the lifeguard? Hmm. Thanks to Fickle Pickle for the idea.

Labyrinth

Yes, I saved the best for last. How can you not love that incredible Goblin King/David Bowie costume? And oh what I would give to see the Husband in a David Bowie wig and tight pants.  You can see all the 80’s awesomeness at Flies in My Eyes)

Now It’s Your Turn

There are SO many amazing ways to dress up the family together for Halloween (or any other reason, really). But now I want to know…

What do you and your kids want to be for Halloween this year?
What family themed Halloween costumes would you want to do?

    Such cute ideas.. One year my nieces and nephew all dressed like hot dog, mustard, ketchup, and went as a family feast. It was pretty cute. My kids have always had their own unique ideas and we’ve never attempted a family costume.

    We love to dress up as a family, with all boys in the house, we are usually some sort of Star Wars, superhero or comic family. Halloween is one of my Superhubby’s favorite holidays and he’s in charge of costumes, these are fabulous ideas!. Thanks for sharing with Small Victories Sunday Linkup and I hope you linked up with our Pretty Pinterest Party too. Pinning to our linkup board and hope you found some great posts to visit this week!

    I love the sharks!
    We wanted to be the Jolly Green Giant with our little peas one year but the cost of buying green clothes was a bit too much for us!
    Thanks for the inspiration!

    My daughter has already decided that she wants to be a witch. This is a bit disappointing since I thought she’d want to venture out with a new costume this year. She has decreed that my husband can be Big Bad Wolf, I can be Little Red and I’m thinking Dean could be a sheep – not sure – she hasn’t thought that far. Love the Labyrinth themed costumes – so good – that movie is awesome!
