Minnie Mouse & Mickey Mouse

As a Disney lover, I am a little partial to this matchup. I can’t help but think that my little man wouldn’t mind either since we love dancing to the “Hot Dog Dance” while watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Mom, you can pair your Minnie costume with black flats or heels. But if you really want to be in full Minnie attire, these yellow Chase & Chloe Mary Jane Pumps are a perfect accessory to complete the look.

Bunny & Baby Carrot

Can you say hello comfy and adorable? This fuzzy bunny mom costume is my kind of attire! I mean if you are looking for the ultimate comfort costume then dressing up in bunny PJs are the way to go.

Tips On Choosing A Mom And Baby Costume

• Consider the weather. The last thing you want when you spend the time or money to plan out matching costumes is for you or baby to freeze/sweat the entire night.
• Be mindful of the fabric! When shopping online, make sure you read the fabric description.  
• Read the reviews. I never buy anything online without reading the reviews. Read up on the opinions of the previous shoppers to know more about the fit and feel of the costume.
• Make sure to comparison shop. Check out other Amazon sellers as well as other retailers like Walmart, Target, and Party City. Also, keep in mind the closer you get to Halloween costume prices will fluctuate.

Final Thoughts About Mom and Baby Costumes

Whether your costumes are store-bought, handmade, or semi handmade it really doesn’t matter. What matters is the amazing memories you are making with your child. How fun will it be when you both look back at pictures and share laughs and smiles? 

I admit I am a little bummed that I never dressed up with any of my kids when they were babies. Such a missed opportunity that would have made for wonderful family stories.

Get the Whole Family Costumes

If you have additional children or a willing significant other, why not make an entire theme so your whole family can take part. Most of the costumes above can easily have another costume added. The possibilities are endless!

If you decide on something genuinely unique, make sure you allow yourself plenty of time for ordering, whether from a store or when having it made. You don’t want to cut shipping so close that you will be out of costumes if something doesn’t fit.
