Extremely cute when you have little ones and a clever bit of fun with teens, wearing matching or complimentary costumes is a howl. Bring the family together at the next costume party with these ideas.
Let's say you have the million-dollar family of four. You could opt for transforming yourselves into a famous family - like the Obamas (don't forget to dress up your pup as Bo). What about the Simpsons? Homer, Marg, Bart and Lisa are classics, instantly recognizable and well loved. (Wondering about little Maggie? Homer always forgets his third child, so don't worry too much. Bring along a star-shaped doll with a soother implanted in her mouth and all is good.)
Think outside the box for a minute. How about flipping a switch? Your kids could dress up (very dramatically) as you and your spouse. Don't forget pronounced bald spots and beer bellies or crow's feet and grey streaks. Then you can return the compliment by disguising yourself as your kids, with cell phones glued to your fingers and iPods in tow. Go all out, have fun with stereotypes and remember to laugh at each other.
Another opposite and over the top idea could be to dress as yourself in the roles of your kids (dress as you did when you were their age - whether that's hippy style, socks pulled to your knees or Pippy Longstocking pig tails). Then turn the tables and have your kids dressed as they'll look at your age (assume time will take a hungry toll, think saggy and stooped). This can be educational for all of you and lends itself to empathy - as well as hilarity.
Doesn't sound like your family unit? How about other famous foursomes - the American Idols judges (make sure the quietest one gets to be Simon), plenty of different super heroes like the Fantastic Four or the Incredibles, even rock bands like ABBA or the Beatles.
What about choosing a card suit (spades, diamonds, hearts or clubs) and slipping on costumes of the king, queen, jack and ace. This works great for larger or smaller families and can be adjusted to display your children's ages if they want. Or go against each other and have each of you dressed as a different suit. Make it four of a kind for the win!
There are lots of creative and fun costume ideas for your family. Use your imagination, display your personalities and come up with something that is uniquely yours. Than have a blast together.
