If you are planning to attend a Halloween bash this year, think about coordinating costumes with your significant other, friends or even siblings. A theme makes it that much more fun to get dressed up and have someone else to play off of. Plan to arrive at the party at the same time to make a great group entrance. Here are some fun monkey costume ideas to get your creativity started:
Wizard of Oz - Flying Monkey & The Wicked Witch of the West - The flying monkey costume is brand new this year and is one of my favorite ideas. I’ve always been a big Wizard of Oz fan, and I’ve been waiting for the flying monkey costume to come out! This idea easily expands to a group, using other favorite characters from the movie, including Dorothy, The Tin Man, Glenda the Good Witch, or your favorite character.
Michael Jackson and his Pet Monkey Bubbles - There is a lot of interest in Michael Jackson Costumes this year due to his untimely passing earlier this year. Turn this into a couples costume by adding his pet monkey Bubbles. You could also dress up in two different Michael Jackson costumes. If you have a group you can go as the Jackson Five.
Monkey See and Monkey Do - A mischievous idea for a pair of kids. Use two identical kids Monkey Costume sets and make 2 signs for them to wear-one is Monkey See and the other sign should say Monkey Do. The pair can play act all night at this.
Barrel of Monkeys - For a really fun idea, try going as a Barrel of Monkeys. This idea can be adjusted to any size group, and the more monkeys the better. Put the “adult” of the group into the “Barrel of Monkeys” costume, surrounded by everyone else in various monkey costumes. An Infant Monkey Costume with a cute little monkey tail is my favorite. This costume idea really brings a group together for a barrel of laughs all night long. Accessorize with some fun inflatable bananas!
Go with one of these ideas or use them to get your creativity started. If you are crafty you can take a stab at making your own costumes, or you can purchase them online. Either way you’ll have a barrel of fun this Halloween!
