If you're someone who loves their costumes, then we've got something even better for you. Say it with us: group costumes. Whether it's Halloween or you're going to a costume party, you and your closest people will have the best time getting into character with these costume ideas.
Ideas for (but not limited to) all-adult groups
Schitt’s Creek
Though this show has ended, our love for it goes on. This is a great choice for a group costume because 1. You can re-wear the styles afterward, and 2. There are tons of characters and looks to choose from:
- Moira and David: ultra-trendy threads in black and white.
- Johnny: suit sans tie, and eyebrows (the eyebrows are very important here).
- Alexis: boho-inspired dress, large hat and gold jewelry.
- Ted: surgical scrubs and a real or plush dog.
- Stevie: button-down plaid shirt and jeans.
- Jocelyn: painterly kitten-print sweatshirt or Poison band tee with questionable hair.
- Roland: same as Stevie but with a mullet and baseball cap.
Britney Spears’ greatest moments
There’s only one Britney Jean Spears, but with the number of memorable looks she’s given us over the years, it’s easy to create a group tribute to her. We’re talking about a woman who made pink maribou hair accessories, Burmese pythons and denim gowns iconic! You can choose a single album of hers to represent, go for matching looks from one of her more classic music videos like "Baby One More Time" or choose to recreate a variety of looks from her career.
British TV inspiration
British telly offers an abundance of personalities to portray as a group. Transform into the judges from The Great British Bake Off by carrying around delicious baked goods and flexing your innuendo skills. Other brilliant options to consider are “Good Omens," “Bridgerton," “The Crown," “RuPaul’s Drag Race UK” and “Doctor Who." Want a warm outfit? You’re in luck—overcoats and mysterious backstories are the backbones of nearly every crime drama.
James Bond
Group Bond-ing, anyone? A quintessential Bond ensemble consists of a suit and martini, shaken, not stirred. While each of you could go as a version of Bond, the villains and women from the franchise arguably have the most interesting looks to replicate (May Day, Vesper Lynd, Blofeld and Oddjob come to mind).
The Drake Certified Lover Boy meme
Could a group costume be any easier (or more comfortable)? The key to achieving this look is for everyone to wear a different solid-color shirt. After that, your imagination can take over. Just add something to the fronts of your tees—leaves from your favorite plants, your go-to orders from the coffee shop—and watch as people recognize the inspiration.
Ideas for the family
The Addams Family
Did you know that the Addams Family debuted in 1938? This creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky family has enchanted generations of people, making it one of the best family costumes imaginable. Every character has its own distinctive look, and there are so many to choose from. Even the more secondary characters like Cousin Itt, Thing, Debbie and baby Pubert are worthy personas to consider.
Space exploration
Don’t have $30 million for a space trip? No worries, you and your family can opt for a more down-to-earth version with your costumes! The kids will likely clamor to be astronauts or extraterrestrial beings, but there are also stars, the moon, constellations, the sun and other planets to add to your galactic group. If someone in your group is in a stroller, wagon or wheelchair, they can transform it into a Mars rover, spaceship or flying saucer. Long story short, we’ve over the moon about this theme!
LEGO bricks
Love a DIY costume? This one is super easy and only calls for a few large boxes, large paper or plastic cups, glue, scissors and paint.
- Start by cutting the rims of the cups off so that the cups are only 2-3” tall (they’ll be the raised studs of the brick).
- Remove the bottom of the box, then cut holes for the arms and head in the logical spots.
- Glue the cups to the box to mimic the layout of a plastic brick, then paint everything one solid color.
That’s it! Want to add a little humor to it? Have one person in your group dress up as a foot with a brick imprint showing.
Role reversal
The concept is simple: everyone in the family swaps their usual looks with each other! You get to enjoy dino print tees, cute ruffled dresses and slime while the kiddos rock a suit and Target shopping list. We love that every family’s role reversal will look different.
Jurassic Park
It’s DINOSAURS. And Jeff Goldblum. Who doesn’t love dinosaurs and Jeff Goldblum? That’s really all you need for this—dino costumes and someone bringing common sense to the moment in an all-black outfit and thick-rimmed glasses.

What is a SignUp Sheet?
Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.
Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer!
Long story short, SignUp Sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.
How do I create a SignUp Sheet?
Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
- Go to Evite SignUp Sheets and choose the template that best fits your needs. Evite offers multiple signup sheet templates perfect for every occasion, including:
- Signup sheets for one day events (without different time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing a class party, potluck or end-of-season party.
- Signup sheets for single or multiple day events (with time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing concession stand volunteers, fundraisers, parent-teacher conferences, meal train, post-game snack duty or during appreciation week.
- After selecting your sheet template, create a title for your signup sheet and add the date, the location, the time (if applicable), who the organizer is, the organizer’s phone number or email and an optional note describing the event to your volunteers. You can also change your signup sheet background and title image if you wish!
- Next, create slots for your signup sheet. If you aren’t logged into your account, you will need to do so at this point, but luckily, you can use your existing Evite account (no need to create yet another login!). What you’ll include here will depend on what your event needs, but you can include a list of what’s needed (along with optional descriptions), how many volunteers are needed, and dates and times.
- After creating your slots, you can then add a wish list from any retailer or include supply suggestions from Evite’s retailer partners. These are to help your volunteers find and purchase supplies quickly and easily.
- Finally, review your sheet, copy your shareable link and send it out to everyone on your list! Every time a volunteer signs up for a slot on your signup sheet, Evite will email you. We will also send reminders to you and your volunteers before your event so no one will forget about it, and we’ll even let volunteers know if you remove their slot or cancel your event sheet so you don’t have to!
What information should be included on a SignUp Sheet?
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
- A title for your signup sheet. Tip: Aim to keep your signup sheet title concise but clear. You want volunteers to read it and have a general understanding of what your event is about, and also make it easy for them to look for later if they need to reference your sheet again. You have the option to include a more descriptive note in a different field about your event, so save the more in-depth details for that!
- When and where the event is taking place.
- The organizer’s name and phone number.
- Slots for volunteers to choose from. Once you choose the SignUp Sheets template that fits the occasion, the slots you’ll need for your sheet will be right there and ready for you to add the relevant info, such as dates, times, items to bring and tasks to complete.
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
What are the benefits of using a SignUp Sheet template?
Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:
- A 100% free experience (no subscriptions required!).
