Family Halloween Costumes with Baby

Got a new addition to the family? Don’t let that stop you from joining in on the Halloween fun. 

Family Halloween costumes with babies are not only adorable but also a great way to include everyone in the festivities.

Think about dressing up as a zoo crew with mom and dad as zookeepers and the baby as a cute little lion or monkey. Or go for a space theme with astronauts and a tiny alien.

The key is to keep the baby comfortable and warm while still looking absolutely adorable.

Halloween Costumes Family of Three

For families of three, the costume possibilities are endless. You could go classic with the Three Little Pigs (with one as the Big Bad Wolf), or get creative with a s’mores ensemble (graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallow).

For a spooky twist, try a ghost family with different sheet styles. Movie buffs might enjoy dressing up as characters from their favourite trilogy. The best part? With just three people, coordinating outfits is a breeze.

Halloween Costumes Family of Four

Four-person families have some great options when it comes to Halloween costumes. Why not try a superhero team like the Fantastic Four or The Incredibles?

For a more classic approach, the Wizard of Oz characters are always a hit. If you’re feeling a bit devilish, go as a family of vampires or werewolves. The key is to find a theme that everyone enjoys and can participate in comfortably.

Halloween Costumes Family of Five

Families of five can really get creative with their Halloween costumes. Consider dressing up as the Scooby-Doo gang, complete with Mystery Machine. Or take a trip to Neverland with Peter Pan, Wendy, Tinkerbell, Captain Hook, and a lost boy.

For a scarier option, try a zombie family with different stages of undead transformation. Remember, the goal is to have fun and create a cohesive look that works for everyone.

Halloween Costumes Family of Six

With six family members, your costume options are practically limitless. How about the main characters from Inside Out, with each person representing a different emotion? Or go for a classic monster mash with Dracula, Frankenstein’s monster, a mummy, a werewolf, a ghost, and a witch.

For a more whimsical approach, try dressing as a rainbow with each person in a different colour. The key is to find a theme that allows everyone to shine while still working together as a unit.
