Dressing up is always more fun with friends!
Keep the spirit of Halloween alive and get everyone involved this year by choosing a duo or group costume theme! Picking and planning a costume is half the fun, so choose something everyone can enjoy. Whether you’re going for a trendy duo costume with your partner or a fantastic group costume with friends or family, there’s one thing that’s certain. Coordination and communication are key. In this quick guide, we’ll walk you through just how easy it can be to plan a duo or group costume you can be proud of!
Find Yourself the Perfect Duo Partner or Group
The first thing you’ve got to do when planning your costumes is figure out whether you’ll be dressing up with a duo partner or with a group. Once you’ve figured that out and got everyone locked in and committed, you’re ready to move on to the next planning step. Be sure to pick a reliable and willing partner; you’d hate to have someone bail the day of the costume party!
Brainstorm Costume Ideas
Brainstorming costume ideas for you and your group can be tricky, depending on how many people want to participate. The more, the merrier, but remember to consider the number of people in the group, as more people require more coordination. When choosing a group costume, you want to ensure everyone has a part and no one is left out, so select an appropriate theme that fits. See some of our favorite duo and group costumes below for some inspiration!

Buy or Create Your Costumes
So, you and your friends or family have the perfect group costume in mind. Now it’s time to figure out how to execute! Depending on your budget and crafting skills, this may be an easy choice. Suppose you’re in a crunch for time and don’t have the skills or resources to DIY your costume. In that case, you’re best off opening that wallet and purchasing an official costume. Alternatively, you and your friends can create your own costumes from scratch and put your creativity to work. While it can take some more time and planning, the results are worth it, and it makes for a fun Halloween activity to get together and do with your friends!
Commit to the Bit
Once you’ve got your costume all sorted and you’re all dressed up, you’ll be ready to party! Be sure to take lots of pictures and have fun with it! The more committed to speaking and acting like the character you’re dressed up as, the more convincing you’ll be. Get everyone on board, and you’ll be sure to impress at the costume party. Everyone appreciates some good showmanship, so do your best to nail the part and embrace your costume.
