Family of 3 Halloween Costumes You’ll Want to Copy This Year

Finding family costumes for 3 that work for a baby, a mom and a dad is harder than it sounds. The baby needs something soft and comfortable. The grown ups want looks that still make sense next to it. And everyone hopes for a photo worth sharing.

This list solves that with eight family looks you can copy this year. There is a spooky movie trio for horror fans, a sunset beach set from The Little Mermaid, a soft pink Toy Story group with a fluffy baby lamb, and an easy Gru and Minions outfit. Then come four more ideas for cozy nights and photo shoots: Wizard of Oz, the Addams Family, a pumpkin patch farm and a sweet beekeeper set.

Each idea shows what everyone wears, so you can shop your closet first and buy only the missing pieces. Some looks come together in one evening. Others need a little more planning, like face paint or a big skirt. Every entry has a tip, a checklist or a quick guide to keep your shopping list clear.

Scroll through, save your favorites, and pick the costume that fits your family and your baby’s mood.

1. Family of 3 Halloween Costumes: A Horror Movie Trio With Michael Myers, Pennywise and Baby Chucky

Spooky families get the best reactions on the porch. Here is how this one comes together:

• Dad wears a white mask over navy coveralls, and that is the whole look.
• Mom builds a clown from a white corset, a tutu, red pom poms, bow knee socks and a red balloon.
• Baby gets a striped shirt, denim overalls, spiky hair and a few tiny painted scratches.

The garage sells it too. Yellow caution tape and red dripping letters turn a plain door into a movie set.

2. Little Mermaid Beach Family With Ariel, Prince Eric and Ursula

A quiet beach at sunset does half the work here. The toddler is the star in a red wig, a seashell top and a green sequin tail.

Dad keeps it easy as Prince Eric with a white shirt, a red sash, blue pants and teal cuffed boots. Mom goes big as Ursula in purple skin paint, a white wig, a fitted black gown with a ruffled tentacle skirt and a gold trident.

Even the dog got a costume. A red crab hood makes him Sebastian.

Save this one for a photo shoot instead of trick or treating, because that skirt needs room.

3. Toy Story Family With Woody, Bo Peep and Her Baby Lamb

Soft pinks and bright yellows stand out fast in a dark crowd, and this trio uses both. Build it in this order:

1. Start with the baby. A cream, fluffy hooded lamb suit with pink gingham feet is the cutest piece, so pick it first.
2. Match Bo Peep to the lamb with a pink gingham dress, lace trim and a light blue crook.
3. Keep Woody simple with a plaid shirt, a cow print vest, a red bandana and a black hat.

The baby sets the color plan, and the grown ups follow.

Woody	Bo Peep
Yellow shirt with red plaid lines	Pink gingham dress with puff sleeves
Black hat and red bandana	Pink lace bonnet
Cow print vest	Light blue crook
Blue jeans	White knee socks with pink bows

4. Gru and Minions Family, the Easiest Costume on This List

Half of this outfit might already be in your closet. Yellow sweatshirts and denim overalls do most of the work.

Mom and baby are matching Minions, each with a yellow beanie topped with black hair tufts and a small logo on the overalls. A name stitched on the baby’s hat is a sweet detail. Dad plays Gru in gray with a long black and white scarf and a bald cap.

The goggles are the one piece worth hunting for.

5. Wizard of Oz Family With Dorothy, Scarecrow and a Baby Lion

The yellow brick road is optional. The costumes tell the story on their own.

Mom is Dorothy in a blue gingham dress, a white blouse, two braids and red sparkly shoes. Dad is the Scarecrow in a patched plaid shirt, a floppy hat and a little straw at the cuffs. The baby steals the show as the Cowardly Lion in a cozy tan hooded suit with a small mane.

A wicker basket makes an easy prop, and a stuffed dog inside covers Toto.

6. Addams Family Trio With Morticia, Gomez and Baby Wednesday

Spooky, but nothing that will scare the baby. Black clothes you already own get you most of the way there.

Mom wears a long black gown with a straight black wig. Dad wears a pinstripe suit with a thin painted mustache. The baby gets a small black dress with a white collar and two tiny braids.

A cello case or a plain white glove on a shelf makes the photo feel like a scene from the show.

Snap, snap, and the pose is done.

7. Pumpkin Patch Family With Two Farmers and a Baby Pumpkin

Cool October evenings call for costumes you can layer. Two farmers in flannel shirts, denim overalls, straw hats and boots stay warm and look right at home in a real patch.

The baby is the pumpkin. That is the whole joke, and it works every time.

Baby’s outfit takes about ten minutes to make:

8. Beekeeper Family With a Sweet Little Baby Bee

Simple, cute and easy to move in. Mom and dad dress as beekeepers in white shirts and pants, wide brim hats with light netting, gloves and a toy smoker can.

The baby is the bee. A yellow and black striped onesie, soft felt wings and an antenna headband are all it takes.

Honey jars or a toy hive make good props for the photo.

Conclusion

Family costumes for 3 do not have to be complicated. A shared color, a favorite movie and one small prop for the baby are often enough. Start with the piece that matters most, usually the baby’s outfit, then build the grown up looks around it.

Whichever look you choose, take the photo early, before naps and snacks change the plan. And if one of these ideas made you smile, save this post to your Halloween board on Pinterest so it is easy to find when October gets busy.
