20 perfect Halloween costume ideas for groups

The Flintstones are a fun group costume for a foursome. Dress up as Fred, Wilma, Barney, and Betty. And if you have more than four people, you can easily add the children and side characters into the mix. 

If your group would prefer to have comfortable Halloween costumes, go as Beanie Babies. All you need to do is dress in an animal onesie and attach a Ty tag, which you can make at home. Bonus points if someone from your group can find a purple bear onesie to go as the Princess Diana Beanie Baby.

If you’re part of a comedy-obsessed group, go as your favorite characters from Saturday Night Live. Debbie Downer, The Church Lady, Target Lady, and Marty Culp are just a few of the incredible options there are to choose from. 

Some of the best group costumes are the ones that are homemade. Have an arts and crafts night before Halloween for your group to get together and make their favorite cocktail into a costume. 

A group of three can’t go wrong dressing as the Sanderson Sisters from Hocus Pocus. If your group is bigger than three, add in more characters from the movie like Billy Butcherson, Thackeray Binx, or the Bus Driver. 

A group costume for three people, dressing as rock, paper, scissors couldn’t be simpler. You can buy pre-made costumes, or you can draw on T-shirts. The latter is a good last-minute option. 

Have your fabulous fivesome dress as the Spice Girls. There are so many iconic looks to choose from, each one fun to take on in its own way. And if you don’t want to mimic a specific look, your group can go generic in garments and specific in hairstyles to capture the group’s aesthetic.

There are tons of condiment costumes available at costume shops. If you don’t have enough time for a stop at Spirit Halloween (or your local equivalent), have everyone in your group dress as a different color and print off a corresponding logo to attach to their top. 

It can sometimes be hard to get people to buy in to great costumes, but it’s a little easier when you want your group to dress up as characters from a classic comedy film. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy is just the film. Everyone can go as a different member of the KVWN Channel 4 news team. 

If your group has great hair and cute clothes, you can absolutely be Barbies. All you need to do is make a pink Barbie box to stand inside of. 

Another great movie with characters that make for good Halloween costumes, Pulp Fiction is a good option if your group needs some convincing to go all out for the holiday. There are so many iconic characters in this film, many of which don’t require much for costuming. 

Have your group dress as different parts of a charcuterie board. For the basics, you’ll need someone as meat, someone as cheese, and someone as a cracker, but you can add grapes, honey, nuts, and more. 

If you’re organized enough, your group can go as the Average Joes from Dodgeball . If your group is big enough, you can also have some members dress as Purple Cobras. Bonus points if you have a Chuck Norris in your group. 

M&M's is another great low-maintenance group Halloween costume. You can buy pre-made M&M's costumes, or you can have everyone wear a monochromatic outfit and attach an M&M's logo to their top. 

Any group of four can put together a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles costume. And it will always work well. 

Pac-Man is a super fun option for your group. And it works no matter your size. All you need is a Pac-Man, and the rest of the group can be different colored ghosts. 

If you've got a fabulous foursome, you've got to dress as the main characters from Sex and the City. You can use each character's most famous outfit, or you can pick an episode and all draw inspiration that way. 

For a group sandwich costume, you need two pieces of bread, meat, cheese, and veggies. Just be sure to stand in the right order lest other people get confused. 

Dressing as the Marvel Cinematic Universe is easy. Everyone dress as their favorite MCU superhero, and voila, you've got a group costume. 

Ghostbusters is a great option for a group of men, a group of women, or a mix. That's the beauty of an all-male original cast and an all-female reboot cast.
