Coordinating your costume with your significant other, siblings or even office mates is a great idea when attending a Halloween Party. 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 grand entrance. Here's a couple of clever monkey costume ideas to get you 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! A group can use this theme by adding other characters from the movie, such as Glenda the Good Witch, Dorothy or the Scarecrow.
Michael Jackson and his Pet Monkey Bubbles – There is tremendous interest in Michael Jackson Costumes this year due to his untimely passing earlier this year. You can turn that into a couples costume by adding his pet monkey Bubbles. You could also dress up in two different Michael Jackson costumes. Or the Jackson Five for a group.
Monkey See and Monkey Do – This idea is a cute one for a mischievous pair of kids. Put the pair in two identical kids Monkey Costumes and give them each a sign to wear – one with "Monkey See" and one with "Monkey Do". Your kids will have a great time hamming it up.
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. Most of these costumes can be purchased online, or if you are crafty you can try your hand at making them. You never know, you might even win a costume contest!
