Group Costumes

Dressing up as a group can be fun. However, there are a few unwritten rules to group costumes.

Rule 1.

Know who is in your group. You want to know how many men and women are in your group. If your group has men in it you would not chose My Little Pony.

 
How many people are in the group. Say if there are ten people in the group then the Three Musketeers will not be a good choice.

 

Rule 2:

Make sure everyone know the costume.   Say you decide on Cowboys do you mean the team, cheerleader, or the people that wear hats and boots.



Rule 3 (large groups)

This is for groups larger than 10. Have subgroups in the larger group.

Example dress as candy
