1. “Under the Sea” Adventure
For the ultimate themed look to capture the wonders of the sea, transform your family into a whimsical underwater crew. With options as vast as the ocean itself, you can go down so many different routes. Try dressing up as colourful sea creatures like starfish, jellyfish, or clownfish. If you want something a bit more magical, how about dressing up as majestic mermaids? With the new The Little Mermaid movie all the rage, it’s sure to get your little ones excited.

Whichever path you choose to go, make sure you decorate your costumes with sparkles, glitter, and tons of vibrant colours that will help to recreate the magic of the sea. For an added touch, carry props like seashells or fishing nets that will definitely tie the look together.
