I'm a sucker for family Halloween costumes! They're easy to buy or make in bulk, there's little to no competition between siblings over who looks cooler in their costume, and should you have a wanderer on your hands, they'll be easy to spot from a mile away.
And besides being super practical, family and group costumes are great fun for everyone involved. Not only will you make lasting family memories (and take really "heart"-worthy Instagram pics, but you'll get to spend some extra quality time together as you plan and execute the family costume of the century. That sounds like a straight-up treat to me.
