Every year, most of us put off making a Halloween costume until the very last minute and it’s not as great is it could have been. If you want that to change, try getting a group of friends together to plan a memorable group costume. This year, be the life of the party with these group costume ideas and tips. Group costumes can be an easy way to be the most memorable costume at the party. You can keep the costumes simple, but as long as the idea is clever and everyone is on board, it will be a huge success. Make sure that everyone in the group is familiar with the costume and excited to wear it and be a part of the group throughout the night. A successful group costume is something that people will recognize right away and remember for years. Choose a costume that is from a popular movie or TV show, either one that was a big hit that year, a movie that’s coming out soon that everyone is excited about, or stick with a classic. You don’t want to be explaining your costume to everyone all night-- that ruins the fun of it. One possibility for group costumes is to incorporate gender reversal. For example, a group of men can dress as different Disney princesses. It’s a fun twist to something recognizable and it’s sure to draw a crowd. Once the idea is picked out, the costumes need to be assembled (make sure you all have enough time so no one is doing it all at the last minute). If the costumes are being handmade, make sure that everyone is putting the same amount of time and effort into theirs, or have one person make all of them so that they’re uniform. If one person clearly threw theirs together at the last minute, it’s going to be even more obvious next to everyone else. Or, if the costumes are going to be bought, everyone should get them from the same place. Shopping online or buying the costumes in bulk can guarantee that everyone matches. The costume choice should reflect the group. It should obviously be something everyone likes, like a favorite movie or video game, and it’s best if everyone has their favorite character. Some possible group costume ideas are favorite superheroes or villains, a hoard of zombies, Pac-Man and the ghosts, medieval characters, or Star Wars characters. The possibilities are endless. To spark some ideas, spend some time searching the internet for costumes other groups have done. There are great galleries online that your group can either copy, alter, or just be inspired by. You want to choose something unique by recognizable. Make sure everyone in the group is onboard with the costume before deciding-- everyone should have fun with it and be happy to show it off on Halloween. With all of the group costume ideas out there, it is hard to pick one, but a group costume can be a fun way to enjoy Halloween. Pick a costume that everyone in the group knows and loves, and make sure everyone can stick with the group through the holiday. Everyone wants to have a memorable costume on Halloween, and a clever group costume is a guaranteed way to get noticed and have a great Halloween.. For more information, I recommend www.savers.com.
