Star Wars
The Star Wars series is literally a cast of thousands with dozens upon dozens of notorious droids, royalty, rogues, and aliens.Family fancy dress ideas come in the form of a stellar Star Wars costume range.
Become fiercely opposing light and dark side characters appearing together, or you can costume up to dominate the galaxy as malevolent leaders and their army. As defenders of the galaxy, coordinate as rebels and racketeers taking on the empire.
If the ladies want to go as everyone's favourite warlord Darth Vader, or revered bounty hunter Boba Fett, they certainly can. Our deluxe girl's Queen Amidala costume will wow the party. Relentless fighter Princess Leia will forever be in our hearts, and plucky challenger Rey has become a new feminist icon to admire.
Wise elder Yoda’s riddle-speak made him a beloved Jedi master (and meme darling). Anyone in the family can dress as the sagas favourite walking carpet, Chewbacca. Our Star Wars family costumes are licensed products made of Force-proof materials. They come in all sizes to fit adults, teens and insanely cute tots.
Sesame Street and The Muppets
Furry characters and catchy songs were a staple in just about every child's learning on Sesame Street. Blossom Costumes has plenty of lovable characters as your family costume idea. If you have a toddler, this adorable Kermit the Frog costume is reason alone to get the family going as The Muppets gang.
Hopefully there are plenty of cookies to satisfy Cookie Monster’s demands. Turn the silly shenanigans up to high like a Bunsen burner to become Beaker, the mishap-prone lab assistant, or affable vampire Count von Count, complete with oversized headpiece.
A family feast
Hopefully there's fantastic food at your fancy dress party. You can be a tasty morsel yourself and make a family fancy dress banquet. There’s a favourite food for everyone to dress up in. If your kids hate eating their peas and carrots, or other fruit and vegetables, inspire them with a foodie outfit.
The best way to wear your Oreo costume is as a family, of course. The perfect pairing of cookie and milk makes a fun addition to your family fancy dress foodie theme, as do wine and cheese.
Grab the Tabasco and salsa, it’s Mexican night with our taco tunic, featuring all your favourite fillings. Wash it down with a can of Coke! We understand if cheeseburgers are more your thing, or if your comfort food is the grilled cheese, so we’ve got them too. Mum and Dad will look super cute as barbecue essentials ketchup and mustard.
Storybooks and fairy tales
A fancy dress party is a perfect opportunity to recreate a storybook or fairy tale as your family costume idea. If you have girls, the chance to be a princess for a day will likely be met with wild enthusiasm.
Choose a popular theme like Frozen, colourful and kooky Alice in Wonderland, rags to riches Cinderella or simply be royalty for the day in one of our super pretty gowns and princely ensembles.
Dads can show up as a stately king in our fantastic velvet robe and crown costume, alongside mums, looking lovely in our lemon, ruched and gathered Princess Belle dress.

We have it in both child and adult sizes suitable for mum or dad. We also have fellow mischief maker of the story Thing 1 for kids. If there's more than one of you and you need a Thing 2, DIY a number two to pin on the front. This costume simply must be completed with the wild, electric blue wig!
