Creative Group Halloween Costume Ideas

Costume parties are a great way to bring together a group of people to celebrate Halloween. If you have a party at home, are at a Halloween party or as a guest at a friend's house, there's a blow for the perfect costume halloween group. It takes a little time and planning for a positive outcome for a group of Halloween costume to get. Fortunately, there are usually at least one person in a group that has a talent for and enjoy, the coordinator. Lethim or her to assume the role of keeping everyone on task through the process. A get-together to choose which theme your group will go as prior to the costume party will be fun too as you kick around ideas and share some time with friends. If everyone cannot attend the costume selection session, keep them in the loop via text, phone or e-mail and rely on their input before the final decision for the group costume is made.

If you are a group of 80's children, you may want to go as the lovable blue Smurf characters. Smurfette will certainly be the coveted female costume for this group, and one of the guys can be the evil and dastardly Gargamel. Think of your friends who fit the many Smurf characters: Hefty, Jokey, Baby and Papa Smurf. White tights and a lot of blue body paint will be needed for this project. Weigh out the options as to who is willing to wear what and who may have a problem being painted blue. If either is the case for a member of your group, there are many other possibilities to choose from.

Classics which never go out of style are sure winners. The Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, The Seven Dwarfs or Peanuts characters are all recognizable and need little explanation. Many popular television shows and movies can also be referenced in a group Halloween costume that people will be familiar with. Gilligan's Island, Star Wars, Super Heroes, The Office employees or The Simpsons may suit the taste and size of your group. Or perhaps historical characters, bands or Broadway plays may be more your group's style. Select a costume that represents something you all like or enjoy. The group may decide to go as pieces of fruit, barnyard animals or as a favorite board game.

The more original your group is with the selection, the better. If there is a costume judging contest at the event, you may want to focus on a specific category or aim for the best over all costume award of your event. Costumes can be homemade or purchased, and your group costume may require make up or masks. Whatever you choose, make certain to pay attention to detail, and make use of household items for props or old clothing for costume parts. If everyone allows his or her creativity to shine, we are sure your group can select the perfect group Halloween costume and have fun as you do so.
