Title. If you have children & prepared costumes for them I’d love to hear as well!
Asking because Halloween was never really big wherever I lived, and a combination of shyness + perfectionism basically prevented me from ever getting a costume… so in a sense I’d like to have some inspiration
I’ve work a costume the past several years. Halloween is my favourite time of year, the weather, the goths, the pumpkin spice lattes (yes I’m a mid 30s mostly straight dude so what).
I’m actually getting ready for a huge party tonight. Everyone’s going to be in costume. My wife and I have spent morning on ours. Part of the fun is seeing what we can come up with. Last year I was a tech bro, just wow a tshirt and flipped baseball cap and handed out papers with little doodles I called NFTs. This year thanks to my wife insisting I grow a mustache I’m going at Matty Matheson, have an apron and hat already.
Last year my wife went as Winifred Sanderson from Hocus Pocus. She used a ren fest dress she wears already and borrowed some makeup. This year she’s going as a pizza delivery girl I think from the movie Mystic Pizza? I dunno never seen it, something her and her friend cooked up, but again using stuff we have.
Don’t overthink it, no need to be perfect, no need to buy junk you’ll never wear again. Just go be free and have fun. Embrace the make believe
Sounds great fun! Hope you have a good time
