Try sticking a carved pumpkin face on a black long sleeve tee or crewneck sweatshirt, and Voila! You’re a jack-o-lantern.

Pumpkin

There’s nothing like going as a classic pumpkin for Halloween. It’s simple, fun, and re-useable, too. Just use this Jack-O-Lantern design on your favorite orange tee and you’re ready to go. You can also add an orange hat or beanie to your look! If you plan to head out on a chilly night, put the design on an orange hoodie and create a costume that’s complete with a painted face and the hood up.

Pumpkin spice latte

Love pumpkins but want a different take on them? Then the pumpkin spice latte costume is for you. Show off your love for this fall fave and wear it on a t-shirt. Customize it by changing up the color of your cup or text on the front. Want some whip on top? Wear a fluffy white hat with your tee when you head out for your celebration.

Sushi & soy sauce

If you’re a sushi fan and want to dress up with a friend or partner, look no further! One of you can be the sushi while the other is the soy sauce in these custom t-shirts. Wear them with your favorite jeans or leggings and you’re ready for a night of fun with this super simple costume. If your group is bigger than two, we have plenty of art in the Design Lab to add more sushi t-shirts to your look.

Salt & pepper shakers

Spice things up with this salt and pepper duo costume. It’s so simple but everyone will love how unique it is. If you’re salt wear all white, and if you’re pepper wear all black. Add hats or even fun socks to your look to make it really shine.

Crayons

This colorful costume is sure to be a hit for your group. Whether you’re dressing up with your college friends or are a family of three competing in a costume contest, dressing up as crayons will brighten anyone’s day. If you want a unique color just pick your favorite colored tee and edit the text in the design with the right one, this way, everyone can pick exactly what they want. We love this idea for teachers who want to dress up for the school day!

Rock, paper, scissors

Partygoers will love how creative you were for turning this favorite childhood game into a Halloween look. Get together with your group of three and see how long it takes people to figure it out. While you’re at it, play a game together for old time’s sake.

Group Halloween costumes

Fruit basket

Dressing up as a fruit basket with your group or family is sweet! We have so many great pieces of fruit art in our lab, so if these aren’t your favorite, search through our gallery. This is an adorable costume if you have young kids and want to dress up the whole family. Wear hats or pants to match the color fruit you’re wearing.

Hot sauce packets

Spicy food fans? Dress up as hot sauce packets with your besties. Whether you’re more into “Fire” or “Mild,” everyone will love the creativity of this spicy look. You can even customize the text on each design to say whatever you want. Add your own saying or inside joke!

Guacamole

We all know guac is extra–so look extra amazing and deconstruct your favorite dip with a guacamole Halloween costume for your group. Avocado, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime, and don’t forget the tortilla chips! Let each member of your group pick their favorite ingredient, and you’re ready for your event. This is a super easy costume that everyone will be talking about until next Halloween.

Dice

Feeling lucky? Dress up as dice with your group this Hallows Eve. This costume could not be more simple but people will love how creative it is. Give each member of your group one side of the dice on a white tee. Coordinate your pants colors and head to your celebration–split up and reunite throughout the night to see how long it takes everyone to figure out what you are.

Skeletons

If spooky is your thing, spend this Halloween as skeletons with your group. The great thing about this costume is it works for two people or 20 people! Just put this skeleton design on your favorite black t-shirt and the rest is up to your imagination. You can all do different face paints, hats, and accessories. You’ll look cohesive but everyone will get a chance to put their own creative juices to work, too.

Deck of cards

Whether you’re a King of Spades or have more Queen of Hearts vibes, dressing up as a deck of cards will catch everyone’s attention this Halloween. Just pick your favorite card and put it on a t-shirt. Above are some of our favorites. You can use these, or switch up the suits, art, or even customize them as numbers cards to use your lucky number.

A Zookeeper’s Zootopia

Zootopia t-shirts are great for a class-wide costume! Customize your zookeeper tees with cute zoo animals (like a giraffe or lion) and your school name. To really sell this DIY costume, wear khakis shorts and zookeeper hats.

Add a fun twist by having the students dress as the zookeepers while the teacher is the zoo animal!

The Price is Right

Get your group to “come on down!” with this iconic costume. Design your own “The ‘Costume’ is Right” t-shirt, complete with personalized name tag artwork, in our Design Lab! For a touch that’s sure to score you first place, add your own Bob Barker or Drew Carey (complete with game show mic, of course!).

Fun Halloween Party Ideas

Pumpkin Extravaganza

What’s more festive than a party filled with pumpkin spice and everything nice? Light up your favorite pumpkin-scented candles and decorate the space with pumpkins big and small. Serve up some Halloween cheeseburgers for your guests. Cut jack-o-lantern faces into cheddar cheese slices and place them on your burger for a spooky version of a classic. Add a veggie tray, harvest chex-mix featuring candy corn, along with your favorite pumpkin-themed dessert and you’re good to go. For entertainment, have a no-carve pumpkin-decorating contest. Pull out the paint, glue gun, and all the fun and spooky accessories you can find. Have everyone vote for their favorite! For those who aren’t feeling artsy, set up a game of pumpkin glow ring toss. Place a variety of pumpkins a few feet away and simply use glow stick necklaces to toss onto the stems. It’s harder than it sounds! Don’t forget to order your jack-o-lantern tees for your costume or party favors. Now, you’re ready to go get your pumpkin on!

Sinister Soirée

Be prepared to get scared. Rent a fog machine from a local party store to set the scene. Creepy old toys, tattered dolls without heads, and black vintage pictures frames with scary old photos will definitely add to the spook factor. Light some candelabras and break out the murder mystery game. Make sure guests dress accordingly—you’re sure to have a bloody good time.

Here for the BOOze

This Halloween shindig is more about the chill than the thrill. Create a signature cocktail for guests to sip on as they arrive. There are tons of festive recipes available online, so you shouldn’t have any trouble coming up with the perfect witches brew. Make a spooky cheese board featuring all of your favorites, but add a few plastic spiders to make it feel creepy without going overboard. For a fun craft, have your friends bring their empty wine bottles and upcycle them into Halloween décor. With a little paint, you can turn your wine bottle into a jack-o-lantern, ghost, or Frankenstein. End the night with an extra special party favor—send guests home with personalized wine glasses, beer mugs, or koozies.

Ghostly Gathering

Let the haunting begin! Decorate the space with ghosts galore. Blow up a bunch of white balloons and draw a simple ghost face on them with black sharpie. Don’t forget to put the classic sheet ghosts on display! A sprinkling of store-bought cobwebs, skulls, and tombstones will give the space a spooky feel. Set up a photo BOO-th to capture everyone’s most frightening faces—ghost costumes are a must. Break out the Ouija board and tell your favorite ghost stories all night long. Get ready to have a ghoul time!

Scary Movie Marathon

First, choose a couple of your favorite Halloween-themed movies to screen. Next, it’s time to decorate. Exchange your regular light bulbs for red light bulbs to give off a sinister feel. While keeping the red lights down low, light some candles and scatter the room with cobwebs to set the mood. Keep the gore and guts to the big screen when it comes to the eats. Serve up some ‘Texas Chainsaw’ BBQ with a side of ‘Children of the Corn’ chips with some ‘Hocus Pocus’ punch. Print off some scary movie bingo cards (with squares marked for things like “they’re right behind you” and “theme song”) so you can be on the lookout for all of the thriller clichés. Let the action begin!

Murder Mystery/Who Done It Dinner Party

Who doesn’t want to attend a murder mystery dinner party? Send invitations with the ominous message, “You are cordially invited to a dinner to DIE for…!” Include a character description of their assigned player and strongly encourage they come dressed to play the part. For the game, make your own Clue-esque kit with faux weapons and clues, or check online for an already assembled option. Serve crab cakes with blood (cocktail sauce) and deviled egg eyeballs (just add olives!) while guests get settled in. Encourage them to stay in character while they mingle! For dinner, serve something you can make ahead, like lasagna, garlic bread, and salad, so you’re free to join in the mystery! Have everyone dine by candlelight– it’s sure to set the mood! Once your guests have had a chance to eat, have the night begin with the dramatic death of your first victim. From there, the night is sure to take on a life of it’s own! Once your detectives think they’ve solved the case, bring them together for the finale.

County Fair Party

Here’s a Halloween party idea that’s sure to please at any age! There’s nothing that reminds of fall quite like your own mini-county fair– set up games and food booths right in your backyard! To keep with the theme, label each of your events and snacks with chalkboard signs. For a cheap alternative to buying, get chalkboard paint from your hardware store and paint frames or slabs you already have- just allow for drying time! Look around town for wooden barrels if you can any, but don’t forget the hay bales! They’ll make a cheap alternative to renting chairs. Set up several bales around a fire pit and serve hot cider when the sun goes down. For games, create your own mini putt putt, ring toss, and balloon dart games. Have your guests compete for tickets and stock your prize table with fun goodies from a discount dollar store. The best part of the fair is the food, so don’t disappoint! Serve corn dogs, corn on the cob, and roasted turkey legs. For some good old-fashioned fun, have a pie eating contest or have guests eat donuts tied to a string with no hands allowed! Send them home smiling with one final fair favorite– cotton candy, of course!

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! Party

Plan the cutest Halloween celebration with a It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! themed party. Decorate with a ton of pumpkins, both miniature and huge, and light pumpkin pie candles to get that cozy fall feeling going. Hang up a print out of the original Great Pumpkin poster from 1966, and make a yellow and black streamer wall to resemble Charlie’s famous sweater. Set up snacks in galvanized pails and serving trays. Organize a viewing party for your guests complete with popcorn and warm cider. Make pumpkin shaped rice crispy treats with Hershey Kisses as the stem, or try pumpkin marshmallow pops by dipping them in white chocolate dyed orange with food coloring and then dipped in green sprinkles. For the birthday cake, place a fondant pumpkin on top! If you’re creative, try drawing a few of the characters, like Lucy and Woodstock, on the side, or buy small plastic figurines. Send guests home with their own Snoopy stuffed animal or a copy of the movie.

Kid Friendly Halloween Party

If your kid loves Halloween, have this party any time of year! Have each guest come dressed in costume to make it more fun. From streamers to the table setting, decorate in strictly black, orange, and purple. Set up a pumpkin painting party, but plan the painting for the first activity so all artwork is dry by the time they head home. For a tastier craft, set up a cookie decorating station complete with funky colored frosting, icing for fun details, and plenty of sprinkle options! Serve your Halloween-enthusiasts pumpkin macaroni and cheese cups– just draw a Jack O’ Lantern face on a plastic cup and add a piece of cucumber or zucchini as the stalk! Serve another tasty treat that the kids are sure to love, mummy dogs! Wrap hot dogs in a biscuit rolled into a long ½” tube, but leave a little gap between the rolls at the top for the eyes. Draw on eyes with edible black ink and serve! For dessert, make dirt cups with chocolate pudding, crushed Oreo cookies, and gummy worms. Try brownie cupcakes as another yummy alternative to the birthday cake– put a layer of brownie batter down first, then add a layer of orange colored cake batter, and bake! Top with a vanilla buttercream and decorate with orange and black sprinkles– MMM! Send each guest home with a goodie bag filled with candy, of course!

Slasher Party

Throw the adult in your life that loves Halloween and their birthday a SLASHER themed birthday party! What’s a Halloween birthday party without costumes? Have guests come as Michael, Freddy, Jason, or their victims! Make footsteps leading to your front door with red washable paint and wrap the door in caution tape. (Add a bloody handprint or two for good measure!) Using a door that won’t need to be accessed during the party, place several hands on the floor to mimic victims trying to escape! Behind the snack table, set up a white sheet decorated in splashes of red paint and bloody handprints. Purchase the birthday honoree’s favorite slasher films for a viewing party. Don’t forget classics like Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Friday the 13th! Make sure you have lots of edible blood on hand for your snack table– it’s sure to thrill! S

Creepy Crawly Party

Send out creepy crawly invites bracing your guests for a screamin’ good time. Embrace all oogly woogly creatures and decorate with a bat wall- trace and cut out a dozen or more bats from black construction paper. Bend the wings slightly to make the bats look as though they’re in flight and then tape to the wall. Decorate your front door with a spider web and place a spider right in the middle– guests will know they’re at the right house with a setup like that! Set out fake spiders, snakes, and other creatures all over the house. Take a spooky spin on an old game and play pin the spider on the web– blindfold guests and hand them a spider that’s a little too realistic for a fun surprise! To really get your guests going, play a food version of Fear Factor. Blindfold guests again and have them face their fears by sticking their hands in unidentified creatures nests (like fake snakes in a vat of jelly!). For creepy treats, serve deviled eggs with olives for the eyes and a spider web cake for dessert! Your guests are sure to leave hollering!

Witches Party

Get your favorite witches together for some potion making and cackling around the ol’ cauldron in your honor! Have everyone come dressed in witchy garb– from Hocus Pocus to the traditional witch, all attire is welcome. Set a sign out by the front door that beckons guests to “Come in, my pretties!” For decorations, go for black and rustic. Use a black flag banner to display a haunting happy birthday message. Create floating witch hats out of black tissue paper, wire, and fishing line. Place potion bottles on tables and place snacks inside of cauldrons and apothecary jars. For one last fitting decoration, paint a sign that says, “If the shoe fits, make sure you get the broom and hat to match!” This party won’t be complete without witches potion– spiked, of course! Get dry ice to create a truly spooky feel. For some tricky treats, place bugles in apothecary jars and label them, “witches fingernails”, or dip marshmallows in chocolate and cover with sprinkles for “witches brooms”. No witch’s party is complete without “poisoned apples” though- just slice and serve with caramel sauce for an easier to enjoy snack. Have your guests swap stories or play with a Ouija board. If you’re inclined to play it safe, set up a witchy movie marathon!

Beetlejuice Themed Dinner Party

What better way to celebrate a Halloween than with a Beetlejuice themed dinner party? Send guests a striped monochrome invite encouraging them to come dressed in character. To really sell the evening, decorate in more white and black, a la Beetlejuice’s infamous suit! For a fun twist, create some Beetlejuice pop art, place in frames, and hang on the walls. Create a spooky tablescape with painted black branches and white candelabras. Paint pumpkins with matte black paint and create hanging ghosts with muslin. Serve shrimp, crab cakes, and calamari alongside Beetlejuice cocktails. No Beetlejuice themed dinner party is complete without your own rendition of the famous “Day-O” scene! Set up a camera to record the action– you and your guests will be laughing for years to come. After dinner has been thoroughly enjoyed, head to the couches for a viewing of the movie. Enjoy a death by chocolate flavored cake in the shape of a coffin for a final touch.

Adult Costume Party

Adults love a costume party just as much as kids! Throw this birthday bash to remember with all the spookiest touches. Let your guests know ahead of time that costumes are mandatory and prizes will be awarded for best, worst, and most creative costume! Make your front door the entrance to a haunted house, or place a mini-coffin by the front door with a fake hand sticking out. Set up a spider’s web that guests have to maneuver through as they head to the where the party is happening. Make a bat wall– trace and cut out a dozen or more bats from black construction paper. Bend the wings slightly to make the bats look as though they’re in flight and then tape to the wall! Bring in a fog machine for a truly terrifying scene! Have guests bring the gourd of their choice for some good old fashioned pumpkin carving. Create a spooky soundtrack to play the whole night with jams like “Don’t Fear the Reaper” and “Highway to Hell”. Spike the punch and place in a large black cauldron or create 3-tiered candy corn Jello shots.
