262. How To Be Awesome At Creative Halloween Costumes

It’s that time of year again!!  Before you know it, Halloween will be here and so will costumes. My goal with this podcast episode is to give you lots of creative costume ideas - for you, for kids, for a family or a group… all of it!  And get you going so it’s all organized ahead of time and you don’t find yourself on October 30th in a one hour line at a costume store.  If you’ve never been in this situation- trust me, it’s pain like nothing else.  So let’s dive into some options for fun Halloween costumes, and take the craziness out of it!    So we can start the holiday season nice and organized and enjoying the moments.  The last minute or unexpected things will always come up.. but since costumes are something we can plan ahead for… let’s do it!  The best thing is to make a brain dump list of the things you love and especially right now!   I try to avoid the things that everyone will be - the hot movie this year, etc. 4 ways to do it!!  -Piece together your own using non-costume items- like cowboy, granny, etc.  -Buy a costume - astronaut, supehero, monster, princess etc.  -Or buy parts of a costume and half DIY your costume - alien  -Or fully make your own - vending machine  Fun Costume ideas!  Robber  Mad scientist  Group and family costume ideas!  Circus with a ringmaster  Aliens  Superheros  The Incredibles  Flintstones  Toy Story characters  Pirates  Couple costumes Barbie and ken  Angel and devil  Minnie & Mickey Beauty & the Beast  Construction Workers  Mario & Luigi  Disney Elsa or Anna from Frozen  Snow White or Evil Queen  Ariel or Ursula from The Little Mermaid  A ton more!  And lots are so easy! Clown  Ghost  Pro soccer player - Messi  All sports- tennis, golf **I love a mash-up with sorts… like 80s tennis or zombie bride  Ninja Witch  Black Cat  Mummy  Bumble Bee  Doctor or Nurse  Unicorn  Shark  Beekeeper  Star Wars character Ballet dancer  Baker / Chef  Police Officer Fire fighter  Astronaut Gumball machine  All the superheroes  Spiderman  Wonder woman Batman  Superman  For kids, I sometimes do one for school and then a family one for trick or treating.  It also allows for kids to have a backup if they change their mind.   Perk to not buying an actual costume- you can return what doesn’t work without a strict timeline.    Halloween can be so much fun!! Let’s plan for it ahead of time so we can really enjoy the moments without the stress.    Happy start of the holiday season!!
