Family Halloween Costumes:
11 Awesome Ideas for Parent and Child

If there is just two of you in your family (or only one is willing to dress up!), finding good theme ideas can be frustrating.

Yes, you could go both as cats...or dogs...or lions...or even Justin Biebers!...but what's the fun in that?

1. Dad as a bee, baby as a butterfly.
2. Police officer and convict. (...but are you the officer? or the convict?)
3. Mom as the Fairy Godmother (think purple robe, pink ribbon), infant as Cinderella.



4. Firefighter and a dalmation
5. Mom as Little Miss Muffett, baby as a spider.
6. Beautiful butterfly (jumbo wings do the trick) and squirmy caterpillar.
7. Cruella Deville (spray hair half white and half black) and a dalmation...or two...or a hundred and one...



8. Cowboys and Indians...with the four-legged family member as the bull.
9. Role reversal: you dress as the baby, he's the parent!
10. Mini-Me! Dress up your son/daughter as the spittin' image of you...or go blockbuster and pick up the real Dr. Evil deal.

Don't forget Fido!

Include your other "little baby" in your search for the ultimate family Halloween costumes.

3. It's all about Angry Birds!
4. Pirates with their little "treasure" or fluffy parrot.
5. Parents as paleontologists, child as the dinosaur.

Adams Family Costumes

The creepy-weird Adams family costumes are perfect for Halloween, but often overlooked.

It works best as a four-member family theme, with Mom as Morticia, Dad as Gomez, a daughter as Wednesday, and a son as Uncle Fester.

(Fester?!? lol! Isn't that the perfect name for an Adams family member?)

Family Halloween Costumes for Toy Story

Toy Story is one of my favorite all-time Disney movies. Fun for kids, hilarious for adults...it's such a great Family Movie Night happy compromise.

I picked out a few of the most popular costumes to give you some ideas, but I still left out Bo Peep and Rex. Not to mention all the other size options for the costumes I pictured below. To search around all the Toy Story theme costumes, click on any photo below.

I have to tell you, honestly, that the whole Wizard of Oz theme for family Halloween costumes has been done to DEATH.

Lucky for you, I'm claustrophobic.

*The munchkins all use the same outfit, with each wig sold separately.
