Tips, Sizing & DIY Shortcuts

• Layer for warmth: Build costumes over leggings/thermals so kids last longer outside.
• Comfort = compliance: Swap stiff masks for face paint or soft headbands.
• Reflective accents: Add reflective tape to hems for nighttime visibility.
• Color coding: Assign each family member a color to simplify sourcing and keep the group cohesive.
• Batch shop: Start with one anchor piece per person (hat/wig/graphic tee), then fill in from your closets.

FAQs

How do I keep family costumes budget-friendly?

Choose themes that leverage basics you already own, then add 1–2 statement items (wig, hat, prop). Our links above include affordable options to mix with DIY pieces.

What if my teen refuses to match?

Let them choose a related character (e.g., Ghostbusters vs. spooky ghost; Mario vs. Bowser). Matching vibe beats identical outfits and keeps everyone happy.

Are these costumes stroller- or carrier-friendly?

Yes—S’mores (baby marshmallow!), Wizard of Oz (Toto), and Bluey are especially carrier-friendly. Avoid bulky skirts or rigid headpieces for infants.
