A Guide to Baby Halloween Costumes
Halloween is nearly here yet again and that means, among other things, time for Halloween costumes. Now, I love all manners of Halloween costumes, but my favorite costumes might have to be Halloween baby costumes. Why?
Halloween baby costumes might be the cutest thing in the world. While it is a pretty hard thing to mess up, here are some guidelines if you have a little one this holiday season.
The obvious baby Halloween costumes are pretty self-evident. Every baby looks cute dressed up as produce; apples, lettuce, pumpkins (an especially good and appropriate touch), and the ever popular pea in a pod. Not so cute? Broccoli or eggplant.
Another good choice for cute baby Halloween costumes are animals, obviously of the baby animal variety. Some popular ones here include lions, bears, rabbits, cats – basically anything little and furry. Animals to avoid include bats and moose; though strangely, scaly creatures like frogs and snakes make cute animal baby Halloween costumes.

These options for Halloween baby costumes are great, because they add cuteness onto the existing cuteness of a baby. But you could add another layer to the Halloween baby costumes by avoiding the easy and cute options. I find it better, personally, to go the opposite route.
A baby accountant Halloween costume, for instance, is still cute, but funny and original also. Same goes for a baby doctor. This works especially well because regardless of what you dress your baby up as, the cuteness usually overwhelms the costume anyhow.
The final thing that you should consider as well is that Halloween baby costumes represent a rare opportunity for parents: the chance to embarrass your children without seeming cruel.
The more embarrassing the Halloween costume, the more embarrassing the Halloween photo album you get to share with your future son or daughter in law. Use this opportunity wisely, as in only a few short years, you won’t be able to dress up your kids in costumes without their input on the matter.
Finally, Halloween baby costumes should not be expensive. Shop around at a variety of costume shops online to compare prices and find the best deals. This is the best way to find great and affordable baby Halloween costumes without leaving the house.
