5 Cute Halloween Costumes for The Whole Family

BOO!

The aisles of Target are officially Halloween ready, and that means it’s time to find our kiddos some costumes (daunting I know).

But what’s the worst part about finding Halloween costumes for the family? 

1. The store bought costumes are so cheesy and can be expensive for such cheap quality
2. Trying to come up with a costume for everyone
3. Wanting to re-create a look you see on Pinterest, but then not knowing how to do it (my biggest pet peeve)

So don’t worry, this year I’ve decided to share 5 Family Halloween costumes that are super cute, easy to re-create, and can even use things you might already have.

1. The Safari Family Costume

This Halloween costume is perfect for the wild child in your family. Dustin would dress up as the Safari Guide, I would dress up as a Giraffe and Diego would be a lion. Some of the pieces, like shoes for Dustin and I as well as khaki short for Dustin, are already items we have in our closet. But if you need help finding the perfect pair, take a look at the links below.

Mom Option 1:

• Giraffe costume
• Brown shoes 

Mom Option 2:

• Brown shoes 
• Brown dress
• Giraffe ears and tail
• Face paint

Dad: 

• Tan button up shirt
• Khaki shorts
• Safari boots
• Safari hat
• Binoculars

Child:

• Lion costume

2. Little Red Riding Hood Characters Costume

Bring this classic childhood tail to life! I mean that baby wolf is just about the cutest thing right? Plus this is probably the easiest costume to do with things you already have (BIG mom win). All of these characters can so easily be changed around and you can easily add in Little Granny as a funny costume.

Dustin would sport a lumberjack costume with a flannel and suspenders, I would wear a Red Cloak and dress, and Diego would wear a little wolf costume. Shop the looks below!

If you haven’t seen the movie, you can adjust this Halloween costume to go with the Circus theme. Dustin would dress up as the Showman, Diego would be a cute little lion, and I would sport the trapeze artist look. Shop the look below.
