Enjoy Halloween in these terrific family costumes
Which family Halloween costumes are best?
Halloween night and the rest of the Halloween season are observed in many ways. Some people view it as an opportunity to wear something elaborate and terrifying. Some observe Halloween and the days after as part of religious tradition. And some view Halloween as a purely fun event to share with children. This last celebration style requires costumes that are family-friendly and not scary in the slightest. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t go all out or have some fun with what you wear.
What to know before you buy a family Halloween costume
Family-friendly vs. family
Family Halloween costumes can mean one costume that’s inoffensive and not scary or a set of costumes that are meant to be worn as a family for a complete look.
Cost
An individual costume can cost anywhere from $10-$100 or more depending on the complexity and quality. Group costumes can also cost as little as $10, but these are exceedingly basic such as a T-shirt set. Better group costumes usually start around $25 and can cost $150-plus.
