Halloween is quickly approaching, which probably means your annual Halloween office party is too. But instead of wearing a solo costume this year, why not make it a bit more fun by wearing a group costume with your team?
In case you need inspiration, here are 10 inventive costumes that’ll make you the talk of the office.
The Price Is Right
This one is pretty self-explanatory (especially if you’ve seen the game show). Assign a color to each member in your team and make a name tag that looks like a price tag. Then create a matching color board that has the current score on it. It’s easy and definitely work-appropriate.
Where’s Waldo?
Even though you can rock a Waldo costume solo, doing it with your office pals is so much better. Plus, you can even play a game of Where’s Waldo? in a sea of Waldos throughout the day.
Party Animals
LC and her team killed it in these sassy costumes that are both witty and fun. All you need to do is grab your co-workers, put on your favorite party attire, pick a pair of animal ears, carry a mocktail, and voila! You’re a group of party animals.
‘90s Toys
OK, this group costume might be a little trickier than the rest on this list, but it’s worth the extra effort. Whether you’re a ‘90s baby or not, toys from this time period are so recognizable, they make a great costume. There’s everything from a Beanie Baby (don’t forget the “TY” necklace!) to a Polly Pocket (which is just a pink dress and a giant heart with the logo), and Studio DIY makes it easy peasy with their how-to guides.
Minions
What’s cuter than one Minion for Halloween? A group of them, obviously. Since so many people love the Despicable Me films and, of course, the Minions movie, having your office crew assemble as Minions — complete with eye-adorned yellow beanies and suspenders — is a no-brainer.
Stranger Things Characters
Since Stranger Things is still a big deal, and season two premieres just days before Halloween, we highly recommend dressing up as all of the iconic characters. You can be Eleven, Barb, Joyce, Lucas, and more. Bonus points if everyone carries an Eggo waffle!
‘80s Party
When in doubt, an easy and fun group costume is an ‘80s theme. Grab any and all neon pieces that you own including leg warmers, leggings, off-the-shoulder tops, and headbands, and mix and match. The best part is your entire office can do it, and it doesn’t have to match to look in sync.
Beer Pong
For all you tailgaters out there, this one’s for you. Rock giant red cups with trash cans or storage bins by painting it red and writing “solo” on it. You’ll instantly be transformed into a real-life beer pong game. Just add a few balls and you’re all set.
Cocktail Heroes
Another alcohol-inspired wardrobe choice that the whole office can do is the cocktail heroes costume inspired by the workers at Kate and Jack Spade. You pick your favorite cocktail, dress up like it (perhaps a Moscow mule or champagne) and add a mask and a magic straw for power — your whole workplace will be transformed into cocktail heroes!
Hungry, Hungry Hippos
When it comes to work costumes, you can never go wrong with games from your childhood. By rocking these Hungry, Hungry, Hippo costumes, you’ll take people back to the good ol’ days and put a smile on their faces.
