The weeks leading up to Halloween are full of planning and creativity. And when it comes to Halloween costumes, there are so many ideas to choose from. But turning your costume idea into a trio project (whether with your family or friends) dials up the fun factor even more! Though, coming up with an idea may not be the quickest process—which is why we curated a list of the best Halloween costumes that are made for three people.
Whether you're looking for the perfect sibling costume or a family costume to try with your kids, we've got you covered. There are dozens of kid-friendly DIY costumes here that just so happen to feature grown-up counterparts, like a surfer-shark-lifeguard trio and an adorable Ratatouille-inspired look, too. Meanwhile, if a best friend costume is more your thing, you'll find tons of ideas on that front as well—particularly if you're interested in '80s costume ideas. Ghostbusters and Heathers fans, we hope you're ready to be wowed!
While many of these trio Halloween costumes are perfect for just the three, plenty of them can adjust if there's change of plans. They can easily turn into couples costumes if someone drops out or expand to bigger group costumes, too! A lot qualify as last-minute costume ideas, too, so don't be spooked by that late invite. Just grab your favorite folks and devise a plan based on one of these great options!
