Group Costumes for Parties, Events and Dress-Up Days

Planning costumes for a group? Whether you’re dressing up with friends, family, workmates or a sporting club, a coordinated group costume is a great way to make an entrance—and makes the photos much more memorable.

At Creative Costumes, you’ll find group costume ideas for Halloween, themed parties, trivia nights, school events, festivals, workplace celebrations and more. Choose matching costumes for the whole group, or pick different characters from the same theme so everyone can create a look that suits them.

Group Costume Ideas for Every Occasion

Not sure where to begin? Some of the most popular group costume themes include:

• Movie and TV characters – Recreate a favourite cast or bring an iconic screen moment to life.
• Superheroes and villains – Assemble your own superhero team, complete with a few villains.
• Decades costumes – Step back into the 1920s, 1950s, 1970s, 1980s or another memorable era.
• Halloween group costumes – Coordinate witches, vampires, skeletons, zombies and other spooky characters.
• Fairytale and storybook characters – A fun choice for Book Week, school events and family dress-up.
• Uniforms and occupations – Create a crew of sailors, pilots, police officers, doctors or emergency workers.
• Christmas costumes – Dress the group as Santa, elves, reindeer and other festive favourites.
• Funny group costumes – Choose a playful theme that will get everyone talking.

A group costume doesn’t have to mean wearing exactly the same outfit. Often, the best group costumes combine related characters, colours or accessories to create a theme while still giving each person their own individual look.

Costumes for Friends, Families and Work Groups

Our group costume ideas can help with groups of almost any size—from couples and families to large teams and party groups. You can coordinate adult and kids costumes, mix characters from the same story, or use wigs, hats, masks and accessories to tie everyone’s outfits together.

When organising costumes for several people, it helps to choose your theme early and check everyone’s preferred size and character. If a full costume isn’t right for every member of the group, matching accessories can be an easy and affordable way to include everyone.
