Scooby doo halloween costume12/23/2023 ![]() Our family theme for this year? Ghostbusters! The 1980s versions, that is. That skirt my daughter had on? A gorgeous velvet red she most recently wore in April for a Christmas party (yes, a Christmas party in April - I have fun friends!). Honestly, I should subtract the kids’ clothes from that as well since they have worn theirs several times since. The headband I picked up from Michaels for about $2.50 after using a 40% coupon and the scarf was a Target clearance find (70% off!).Īltogether, we spent under $50 (not counting my dress) for all 4 of us. That turned out to be a plus because I think it actually looks more “Daphne-like” than the online image. It’s much redder and poofier in real life. It was a “splurge” at $25 for Halloween, but I justified it pretty quickly since I could wear it on other occasions. ![]() A last minute (as in the day before Halloween!) shopping trip and I found the perfect dress. It was a bit too big now and, lazy of me, I didn’t feel like seam ripping off the sleeves I had added for that costume. Originally I planned to reuse the dress I wore for my Boo costume the year we did Monsters, Inc. I pieced together my Daphne costume from multiple stores. My husband’s Fred costume was our one full costume purchase. We did have to fix them mid-shoot as she pulled them off. My goal? To get her to wear them long enough for photos. I bought them well in advance and we practiced with her putting them on several times a week. They were labeled “Nerd Glasses” and had tape on the middle section that I peeled off. ![]() Velma’s glasses I found at the dollar store in the kids’ toy section. I got really lucky with my son’s shirt - it was brand new with tags for $3! I put together the kids’ Velma and Shaggy costumes from clothing I found at a consignment sale the month before. ( Please note there are some affiliate links in this post.) This also included dressing up his baby sister as Scooby, but I vetoed putting her in a dog costume. Last year, my son chose our theme – Scooby Doo. Each Halloween we have family themed costumes.
