Party costumes for twins are popular for twins of all ages. If you have a twin brother or sister, you’ll be able to come up with some very creative ideas for costume parties throughout your life. Of course, nothing will be as magical as those costumes parties when you and your twin sibling were still young and you could use your imagination to become someone different.
If you have twins, you should encourage them to dress up in similar costumes while they’re young. This is a great way to bring your siblings closer together and show them how special their connection is. Even at parties where there are countless children with various costumes, your twins will have something to match. You’ll also get to take some adorable photos that you’ll cherish for the rest of your life. In case you’re looking for inspiration for an upcoming costume party, here are some of your best options.
Pokémon Characters
You can hardly find a child that doesn’t know or like Pokémon. The idea for these little creatures was first conceived around 1989 when the future executive director of Nintendo’s Pokémon franchise Satoshi Tajiri wanted to create a game inspired by his hobby of insect collecting.
It didn’t take long before Pokémon became the highest-grossing media franchise of all time. Also known as Pocket Monsters, people of all ages have grown to love the games, animated shows, and movies associated with this franchise. They’re especially popular among kids who find the Pokémon universe to be filled with wonder and excitement.
The great thing about Pokémon for costume parties is that there are numerous characters to choose from. Your twins can each pick a Pokémon they want to be. Due to the popularity of this franchise, you’ll be able to easily find costumes for them no matter which character they pick.
Since Pikachu is arguably the most popular costume choice for kids, there’s a chance both your twins will want to dress up as this character. On the other hand, they won’t like the idea of both being Pikachu. To make sure they don’t pick the identical costume, you can give them an online Pokémon quiz to solve and get an answer which character they are depending on their answers. This is a good way to make both your twins happy with their costumes.
Clark Kent and Superman
This is a creative pair of costumes that your twins will be able to use for several costume parties in the future. They can take turns dressing like Superman, while the other twin is Clark Kent. Throughout the decades, Superman costumes never went out of style. After all, this is the character that popularized the superhero archetype.
It comes as no surprise that the character of Superman completely changed the way superheroes are portrayed, considering it has existed for nearly a century. This character was first invented by two teens from Cleveland, who started to publish Superman comics in 1933.
Nowadays, everybody is familiar with the story of Superman. Even kids know that Superman tries to hide his identity by working as a journalist named Clark Kent, so everybody will be able to figure out how clever your twins’ costumes are.
It’s easy to dress your child as Clark Kent. All you need is some pants, a shirt, a tie, and a pair of glasses. You can also print out a press pass with your kid’s photo and the name Clark Kent. It’s even easier to find a Superman costume, as they’re available in pretty much every costume store across the country. You can even find Superman costumes in some clothing stores.
Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm
If you have a boy and a girl, one of the cutest options for a party costume is to dress them up as Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm from the legendary animated sitcom The Flinstones. This TV show saw unparalleled success among animated series. It used to be the longest-running and most successful television cartoon until The Simpsons started airing.
Although this is an animated sitcom from the ‘60s, it’s still incredibly popular today. The reason why it’s so appealing is that it shows modern everyday situations in a Stone Age setting. Kids love this show because it’s different from most of the animated series they encounter today.
The characters Pebbles Flinstone and Bamm-Bamm Rubble were so popular that they even received their own spin-off series. If you want your kids to go prehistoric for their next costume party, you can get them a Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm costume set. They can easily be found online and are quite affordable. The Pebbles costume comes with a cute hone hair clip, while Bamm-Bamm gets a soft club.
Mario and Luigi
In case you have two boys and one of them is taller, then there is no better costume set for them than Mario and Luigi. Despite being created in 1981, Mario has remained one of the most iconic video game characters of all time.
Mario is an Italian-American plumber who’s smart, kind, polite, and brave. Luigi is his taller brother who also works as a plumber. However, he differs in personality and is more optimistic, childish, emotional, and clumsy.
You can find Mario and Luigi costumes in various stores, including supermarkets like Target. They are also available on Amazon and other online shops. It’s also fairly simple to make these costumes yourself. All you need is a red and green shirt, denim overalls, and two hats. Put an M symbol on the red hat, and an L symbol on the green hat and the costumes will be ready for your twins’ next party.
Toy Story Characters
There are several different Toy Story characters that kids love dressing up as, yet none are as popular as Woody and Buzz Lightyear. These two characters start off as rivals in the movie series but ultimately become best friends.
Toy Story is considered to be one of the best animated-film series of all time. The last installment was released in 2019, so these party costumes for twins are still very much popular and in demand.
