A ghost family costume is one of the simplest ways to match for Halloween, plush onesies for the parents, a hooded cape for the toddler, and a ghost costume for the dog. It's an easy costume to pull off with almost no prep, and everything doubles as comfy loungewear after the holiday. Here's the full lineup.

Common questions

Do the adult ghost onesies run true to size?
Plush onesies usually run by height range rather than standard S/M/L, so check the brand's size chart before ordering one for each parent.
Is the hooded cape warm enough for a night of trick-or-treating?
The cape layers easily over a long-sleeve shirt and pants, so it works in cooler weather without the bulk of a full costume.
Will the dog ghost costume stay on all evening?
Look for one that secures under the belly or chin rather than just draping over the head, since those stay put longer on a walking dog.

That's the full ghost family lineup, plush onesies for the parents, a cape for the toddler, and a ghost sheet for the dog. It's about as low-prep as a matching family costume gets.
