15 Creative Group Halloween Costumes

The Coronavirus pandemic has impacted every aspect of 2021 – including Halloween. While this year will be void of large costume parties, you can still get into the spirit of the season by dressing up. Keep any gatherings small and outdoors or limit the fun to just those that you live with (even if you’re all virtual at home with Mom and Dad).

Speaking of virtual, you can up the ante on your Halloween costume this year with a fun, Zoom background for your online classes and meetings. Check out these free downloads from thebash.com or go all out with a 10-pack of Halloween Zoom backgrounds for $5.99 on Etsy.

If you do plan to gather in-person this year, the CDC has issued guidelines for Halloween, indicating which activities are low- and which are high-risk for contracting the virus. Lower risk activities include:

• Carving, or decorating, pumpkins outside at a safe distance with friends
• Having a virtual Halloween costume contest
• Participating in a Halloween decorating contest or outdoor scavenger hunt in neighborhoods/living communities

Some Halloween high-risk activities are defined as:

• Participating in traditional trick-or-treat activities (although one-way trick-or-treating, where treats are lined up along a yard or driveway, is considered a moderate risk activity)
• Attending crowded costume parties held indoors
• Going to an indoor haunted house
• Going on hayrides or tractor rides with people who do not live in your household

If you are one of the fortunate few college students able to live with roommates this year, consider a few of these ideas for your outdoor or virtual hangouts this year. If you’re at home, try and get Mom, Dad and siblings in on a group costume.

Though this year is undoubtedly different, it doesn’t have to be any less fun. We can’t wait to see what our Fastweb members come up with!

Get animated…or lack thereof (yes, technically they are animated characters who don’t act so animated in life) and embrace the sick sad world of Daria Morgenendorffer and her best bud Jane Lane. The costumes are simple, fun and you get to have a constant annoyed expression on your face, which is a bonus.
