Group Halloween Costume Ideas

Posted by kim on October 30, 2008

Yes, I know I’m cutting it to the wire with Halloween tomorrow, but it was a last minute decision that four of us are going to “go out” for Halloween and are trying to settle on a central group theme.  We are meeting at the costume shop tonight before our high school football play-off game to see if can get organized.  Although you can still order from BuyCostumes.com until 5:59 pm tonight for delivery tomorrow!

Here’s the list of group costumes ideas we’ve come up with so far.

• Addams Family (Gomez, Morticia, Pugsley, Wednesday, Pubert, Uncle Fester, Grandmama, Thing, Lurch, Cousin Itt)

• And a few others that were inappropriate to blog about here.

This list may not be of use to many at this late in the game, but this way we’ll all have it for next year.  Because I doubt I’ll be able to find my chicken scratched notes on cocktail napkins then by then. This way I can add to the list if I think of any more ideas (or see some cool costumes when we are out and about).  Couple Costume Ideas (like we did last year) will take up a whole ‘nother post!

Happy Halloween!
