Here is a list of 40 great family costume ideas that I found on various blogs and on Pinterest that you can do together.
Dressing up at Halloween is one of my favorite things to do. Getting the entire family involved with a theme is even better. We've only done one of these on the list but now that we have 4 members of the family we have more options. This list includes great ideas for any size family!
Pick a decade! A few years ago we went as 20's style flapper

Wow what great ideas! Every family should be able to find a theme that works from that list!
Those were all so awesome, of course, my favorite is the Doctor Who family. I wonder if I could talk my own children into dressing up as Daleks??? Maybe a Weeping Angel?
That Sock Monkey Family is adorable!
It’s never too early to think ahead. I love these ideas, especially the sock monkeys!
Haha I love some of these!! We attempted a Yo Gabba theme last year but my son decided he would rather pass out candy. Therefore the costumes were an epic FAIL
I think that Up costume might be my favorite – it is way too cute!
Those are SUPER cute ideas! My favorite has to be Up! My husband doesn’t dress up so we haven’t done a family costume but next year I’ll have two kids to dress up so I may just have to do something with them.
The Despicable Me family costumes are great!
Thanks for including my family in this great round-up! I love the Napoleon Dynamite costumes…made me LOL! 🙂
Love the ideas here – they are so creative!
My son was crazy over “Up” a few years ago and I hadn’t once thought of making a house out of cardboard. He’d have loved it!
Very cool ideas! I am in awe of any parent willing to wear a teenage mutant ninja turtle costume for their kids!
Cute. Now that we have 2 kids I have been wanting to try and match their costumes but I wasn’t sure what would be cute. This gives me lots of ideas.
I should totally do The Little Mermaid for Halloween heheh
There are a lot of great ideas here! I think I would go for the Flintstones. Of course, I think my kids would prefer to me M&Ms… at least until they understand that they aren’t going to be covered in the ones you can eat.
