Hey, did you hear we’re putting on our first ever Halloween bash!!!!!
Get your tickets here.
We are so excited about it and one thing we can’t wait to see is all the costumes people come up with. As creatives and makers, there are bound to be some amazingly original and unique costumes. So, yeah, we’re going to have a costume contest, and there will be more than one chance to take home a costume award as there are multiple categories.
As fun as it is to DIY an elaborate costume, it can also be time-consuming and we know free time is hard to come by, so we’ve pulled together this list of last-minute costumes ideas.
