Clever and Easy Group Costume Ideas

Need some quick and easy Halloween group costume ideas? We all procrastinate, and when trying to coordinate and entire group of people the simpler the costume, the better!

1. Emojis

Possibly the easiest group Halloween costume on the list: Emojis! All that is needed for this costume is a variety of colored poster board, double-sided tape or glue, and a wooden craft or popsicle stick. Be sure the entire group uses the same circle template to cut so there is uniformity in size. 

2. Where's Waldo

A classic but comfortable costume, Where's Waldo is one of the best group Halloween costume ideas. Over-sized black rimmed glasses, red and white striped shirt and hat is all you need for this classic. 

3. Crayons

Dressing as a variety of colorful crayons is a great group costume idea, especially for educators. Simply make a cone for the hat, and a tube for the body out of either felt fabric or poster board. 

4. Pacman and Ghosts

Once again, a little poster board and glue can go a long, long way in creating a clever and easy group costume. Tie some strings for straps and your group looks great!

5. Dominoes

Another great group Halloween costume idea are Dominoes! Simply add white lines and circles to the front of an all-black outfit. This can be done with white fabric like felt, glued on to the black outfit with iron-on fusing or fabric glue. 

Couples Costume Ideas from Historical Couples

1. Anne Boleyn and King Henry VIII

Now this is a clever costume! Ambitious, yes, but also genius. If you have a few months to start planning and shopping and have some sewing and crafting skills, this is definitely a contest-winning costume for couples!

2. Marc Antony and Cleopatra

While this couple costume idea is not the most original for couples, it is easily customized to be sure you won't show up to the party in the same exact costume as another couple. Most pieces for this couples costume can be purchased at a costume store.  

3. Bonnie and Clyde

This couples costume idea is a perfect one for couples that don't mind dressing up a bit. A nice suit, tie and fedora for Clyde and a blouse, straight skirt, and scarf for Bonnie will be simple to pull together. Don't forget the guns.

4. Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio

These costume ideas for a couple are perfect for the couples that don't want to venture too far out of their comfort zone. A Marilyn wig and white dress, paired with a Yankees uniform and hat and you'll be dressed as an iconic 50's couple everyone idolized. 

5. Adam and Eve

The perfect couples costume idea for those that are both comfortable with their bodies and in warm climates; Adam and Eve. Glue some plastic leaves to an old bikini for Eve and short shorts for Adam, and you'll be in the Garden of Eden.

6. Johnny and June Carter Cash

Such a great couple, so stylish! Who wouldn't want to dress as them? For this couples costume, Johnny needs a dark suit, open-collar blue shirt, and guitar (bonus points for the pompadour hairstyle.) For June, a feminine Rockabilly 50's style dress, and big brown hair. 

7. Sonny and Cher

Another great couple! To look like Cher, any iconic hippie outfit will work, but you'll need that long straight center-part black hair. For Sonny, a wide-lapel brightly colored suit would be ideally paired with a mustache.
