Office Appropriate Halloween Costumes

[newddmommie]

It's that time of year again and my office is having a halloween party in about a month. I need ideas for office appropriate costumes. I've never been good at coming up with costume ideas. So all you creative types please help. TIA.

If you go to your local Spencers, and/or Halloween Express, they have some really cool costumes, some done by Playboy, like the sexy nurse, sexy cop, sexy witch. I like them all.

At my husband's previous job they had to dress one halloween. He and a few others from his dept. each picked a character from the Wizard of Oz. This way they all kind of looked goofy together. I saw pics from that day and they looked great in the group photo. I don't know if you have a Factory Card and Party Outlet near you but they have some pretty good costumes that would be approriate for an office.

I saw this once and have always wanted to do it: Publisher's Clearing House Prize Patrol! You wear a suit, carry balloons and a big check, and congratulate everyone you see.

I've done the tourist thing. We actually did it as a group at work, and it was a big hit.

My plan for this year was to do Cinderella before before the Fairy Godmother. I figured apron, skirt, and kerchief would be easy to pull together.

Not sure how practical this would be, but the Headless Horseman would be great for a "disguse" type costume.


There are always the classics, witch, skeleton, mummy, ghost, that sort of thing, too.

Vampires are big, eh?

One of the coolest costumes I ever saw was a Picnic Table!

We have a Halloween costume contest every year at work, and one year a group came as expressions. It was so cute. They were things like "all keyed up" (keys pinned all over their clothes), "tied up in knots" (small pieces of string tied in knots and pinned to their clothes), etc. It was very creative, and of course, not scary.

Have fun!
