Dh and I have been invited to a Halloween party. We aren't costume wearers or Halloween partiers. What are some easy costume ideas for us? Thanks!

In two giant black trash bags cut holes for your legs and arms, stuff with crumbled up paper, loosely tie the bag around your neck. He wears a sign that says *I'm Hefty* and you wear one that says *I'm Glad*. If you want, have some kind of trash hanging out of the top. When we did this I wore black tights and DH wore jeans.

I hate costumes. This year I have black leggings, a black tunic with a lace insert in the shoulder area and a cute miniature witch hat attached to a headband. Lame, but done.

This year I'm cutting Mr. & Mrs. potato head pieces out of felt & gluing them on a shirt. Im going to wear a straw hat with flowers. I will find some kind of hat for SO as well. Maybe white gloves if I can find them.

French mimes: black pants, black & white striped t-shirt, black suspenders, black beret & white gloves. Face make-up optional.
Waldo: jeans, red & white striped top, red & white toque, Harry Potter glasses
Tacky tourist: mismatched bermuda shorts & Hawaiian shirts with knee socks, visors and zinc on the nose. Bonus points for carrying binoculars or an old camera around the neck and wearing a fanny pack.
Ninjas: head to toe in black with a balaclava and pick up some weapons at the Halloween store.

A friend of mine's daughter had to come up with a costume at the last minute last night. She did Rosie the Riveter. It was easy - jeans, denim shirt tied in front with a tee under it, and a bandana.

Witch is my go to when I'm feeling lazy. Although I do wear a witch hat. Usually I wear it with black skinny jeans, tall boots and a black top - I'll do heavy witchy makeup and call it good. My husband throws on a tie die tshirt and calls himself a hippy. He's really the nerdiest hippy ever, but whatever.

DS took a white tee shirt last year and printed "404 error: costume not found" on it and wore that to a Hallowe'en party - his friends thought it was funny (he turned 24 2 days before Halloween)

I've been a gypsy - peasant blouse, full skirt, lots of jewelry, heavy makeup.
A group of work friends did M&M's once. We made a sandwich board style sign with each of us a different color; you can use posterboard. Then we wore a long sleeve shirt in our color - I was orange. We wore black pants and white Keds.

How cute! We are heavier people so I don't want to say I'm hefty but it's so cute!

If you really just don't want to wear a costume, one of you tape a quarter on your back, the other a nickel on your back. You can go as a "quarterback " and the band "Nickleback". Super lame, but my friend did it and loved having people guess what they were.

At school I am usually a black cat in all black with ears on a headband and whiskers I draw on with black eyeliner.
My 8yo has other plans for me because she wants me to be a zombie librarian.

Go to Target and buy one of those t-shirts that says "This IS my costume." Put it on. Done.

Or make it a white trash bag and you can be white trash. Of course you should only do this if you are white.

A few years ago I was a fortune teller. I won the grand prize. I could tell EVERYONE's fortunes, because whatever their costume was, I knew what would happen to them - Peter Pan, Dorothy, etc. I'd just look at their palms and tell them what would happen. It was pretty fun!!

Oh - here was another fun one. I dressed up like a pumpkin and my husband at the time had a small sign on his shirt that read 3.14159.
We were pumpkin pie! We won a prize for that one, too.

Mario and Luigi. Just get a red and a green tee shirt and some overalls and find some hats on eBay or Amazon for these characters and you are set to go. EASY

I don't get why you'd go to costume party if you aren't "into costumes"(whatever that means). The fun of costume parties is seeing what other people are dressed up as.

One that has shown up in my fb feed is a woman dressed in all green and the guy next to her has a sign hanging around his neck that just says "Envy" (together they are green with envy)
