This month I am going to try to complete TWO blog challenges — one post a day for each one. This is number one for the Ultimate Blog Challenge. Let’s go!
Halloween is this month. It will likely be a different type of Halloween than we have faced in a really long time due to COVID-19. Social distancing* will likely change many plans and cancel or alter trick-or-treating and Halloween parties.
However, some people are planning to incorporate the new restrictions of 2020 with their Halloween celebrations. Ideas like virtual parties on Zoom or some other meeting service or micro-parties with 10 or fewer people have become more popular. If you decide to take your kids trick-or-treating, this will require more creativity to maximize safety. Traditional door-to-door trick-or-treating is discouraged but parents are considering other ways to maintain the fun of the holiday safely.
Either way, you may still want to wear a costume — even if you are doing it in your own house!
Costume Ideas for 2020
Baby Shark
You have heard the song and seen the dance. Why not dress like the earworm-i-est song your kids won’t let you get away from?
The entire family can get involved in the fun — kids, Mommy, and Daddy!

*This post is just about costume ideas. I am not suggesting that you and your family go trick-or-treating or have any parties. Following the safety rules of the CDC or of your local jurisdiction is the most important.

These are awesome ideas! I’d love my husband to wear the Top Gun bomber jacket, and I think I deserve to wear the Wonder Woman costume! 🙂
Dominique
It is really nice, isn’t it? I have always thought the jackets from Top Gun were so hot! LOL
Ginia
We dont really celebrate Halloween. But your ideas sound super fun and are making me feel like celebrating it!!
Dominique
Thank you! Enjoy the day either way!
Pamela
Interesting- what dog costumes are popular this year now? And I guess it’s no doubt the UPS, doctor and nurse are big costumes this year- but wait what about Amazon?
Dominique
I took a peek at Amazon — there are UPS costumes, policeman costumes as well as the Pope, Pirates, and Lions! LOL I think they have almost every costume for your pets!

Now, if I only celebrated Halloween…

I see some really cute little girls dressing up as Ruth Bader Ginsburg this year. A good way to honor a woman of great significance.
Dominique
What a great idea! I have seen a lot of that as well. I plan to do a DIY costume post — that would fit in there perfectly! Thanks!
Theresa
I love everything about Halloween! I’m not sure exactly what this year will look like for our family in terms of trick or treat and other events, but we’re certainly dressing up! My son has his costume picked out, but I appreciate the ideas, as I still don’t have a clue what to be, lol.
Dominique
I never dress up and my daughter is less interested this year since her big brother has gone to college and can’t take her out. I can’t wait to see what you pick!
Jeanine
Those are cute costume ideas! I really like the Top Gun one. But I hope people will be safe this Halloween. Zoom parties might be best. You could still wear your costume and take pics. But then you could eat your own treats, LOL!
Dominique
I like the idea of Zoom parties as well. I think the adults might go for that and the children might have microparties. Costumes are a must either way, right?
Barb
There are some great choices in your list! Even though this will be a strange Halloween season, these outfits can inspire.
Martha
Great assortment of costumes! It’s hard for little ones to understand why things are so different and can’t visit their friends. Our community is putting individually wrapped goodies on their porch with the light on if participating in T or T this year.
