They say that the family that plays together, stays together, and we're thinking that the same thing applies to the family that gets creative and dresses up together for Halloween [1]! Young kids look cute no matter what they choose to dress up as [2] for All Hallows' Eve, but when their parents put on coordinating outfits that fit within a theme, the final look takes the holiday to a new level. Whether you want to go for a classic story or dress as something more modern and current, we have 28 family costume ideas that are practically guaranteed to cue "oohs" and "ahhs" from your neighbours. Time to start planning.
