There’s no need to panic if you’re short on ideas, as we’ve got plenty of fun and affordable fancy dress outfits for the whole family, including kids’ Halloween costumes and baby Halloween costumes.
Whether you take inspiration from your favourite film, TV and book characters, transform with superhero costumes or go for classic fancy dress outfits, our range will help make this Halloween the best one yet. Check out our four fuss-free family Halloween costumes below:
Scary Halloween
Costumes
Not only are scary Halloween costumes a trick or treat winner, but you can embrace your creativity with makeup and Halloween accessories to look as spooky as possible. Even so, Halloween parties are often full of traditional ghosts, zombies and vampire families. Instead, why not try something a little different (but just as spine-chilling!) like a Day of the Dead fancy dress outfit?
Based on the multi-day Mexican holiday remembering the deceased and welcoming spirits home, Day of the Dead costumes feature all of the most-loved costume characteristics, including skeleton designs, textured fabric and intricate face paint.
Alongside the statement sugar skull makeup, finish off your outfit with artistic purple bruises, lots of fake blood and chunky footwear. Before you know it, you’ll have a standout and scary look guaranteed to turn heads!
All that’s left to do is greet trick or treaters with “wingardium leviosa” to complete your magical makeover into a Hogwarts student!
A family of
Wizards
When you’re planning a family Halloween costume, sticking to a theme is the best way to make sure everyone looks a part of a group. For this reason, dressing up as undead versions of popular film, TV and book characters is a fun and frightening technique.
One iconic franchise that kids and adults alike can’t get enough of is Harry Potter. Providing plenty of different options for parents and children, including Harry, Hermione and Hogwarts teachers, every member of your family can choose their own unique character.
Cute Group Costumes
If cute and cuddly is more your family’s vibe than shocking and scary, you’re in luck. Some of the most popular Halloween costumes for 2019 focus on glitter and vibrant tones instead of dark colours and eerie decorations.
For a magical option that will pull in compliments left, right and centre, try dressing up as a family of unicorns with tutus and horn headbands. Just remember to add lots of sparkles, rainbow face paint and ballet shoes to take your outfit to the next level.
Bringing some charm to All Hallows’ Eve, this enchanting choice is the perfect pick if you have young children nervous about scary costumes.
Superhero Fancy
Dress
If you’re searching high and low for a fancy dress outfit to help your family make a spooky splash, we’re here to save the day: superhero costumes. From timeless superwoman and superman combinations to DC Comics and PJ Masks costumes, this theme is brilliant for large families as there are so many superheroes to choose from!
Proving popular thanks to new film releases, Marvel Avengers outfits are our top pick for 2019. Whether your child wants to be Venom, Ant-Man or Black Panther, this is one guaranteed way to have a super Halloween.
Avengers, assemble!
A cosy night
indoors
Not every Halloween has to involve costumes, parties and trick or treating. In fact, it can be just as fun to enjoy a family film night with some spooky snacks like ‘brain’ cupcakes and mini doughnut ‘eyeballs’.
