These Family Halloween Costumes Are Too Cute for Words
When it comes to Halloween costumes, it's hard to please everyone. The little kids want to be their favorite characters, the older ones want to be scarier or more intense and the parents just want everyone to be happy. However, there are group Halloween costume ideas that can bring the whole family together. From the littlest trick-or-treaters to the oldest in your crew, these family Halloween costume ideas are sure to be a hit.
The best family Halloween costumes are from movies, shows and books that have a lot of characters, so everyone can choose their favorites. (Think mega-franchises like the Star Wars or Marvel movies.) Bonus points if you can adapt the ideas for a range of sizes, so you can get baby costumes, toddler costumes and costumes for big kids in the mix.
These ideas are far-reachiing enough that you can use them, no matter the extent of your brood. Whether you're just looking for matching siblings or a "Mommy & Me" outfit or you want to dress the whole clan, including aunts, uncles and cousins, you can fit these to your family needs. All you have to worry about is what to do with all that candy.
