Here are 12 matching mother-and-daughter costume ideas. Wearing matching costumes does not mean buying the exact same outfit in different sizes. You can wear coordinated costumes for yourself and your daughter by using any one of the themes below.

I hope you like these ideas. Happy Halloween to you and your girl!

12 Matching Mother-and-Daughter Halloween Costume Ideas

1. Bo Peep and Her Little Sheep

Dress up as a shepherdess and her lamb.

Mother can dress up as Bo Peep while her toddler girl goes as the sheep. If you're hard-pressed to find a lamb costume you like, sometimes poodle costumes can also work, as you can see below. I found this cute poodle costume that was too cute not to feature, and which in my opinion matches the mother even more than the lamb costume.

You could always tell everyone your girl's costume is a lamb, and no one would know the difference. Or you could tell them it's a poodle costume and have great fun talking about how the poodle will help Bo Peep find her sheep.

2. Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl

A super-hero costume is only fitting for a wonder mom.

Mother and daughter can team up to battle evil in these Wonderwoman and Wondergirl costumes. Perhaps dad could even be persuaded to dress up as Superman. Then you will have a family of superheroes.

Speaking of a family of superheroes, if you have a boy and a girl, you could all dress up as the Incredibles. Mum and Dad can be Mr. and Mrs. Incredible, your girl can be Violet, and your son can be Dash. Or if you just want to have a mother-daughter costume, then opt only for Mrs. Incredible and Violet.

3. Alice in Wonderland and the Queen of Hearts

The Queen of Hearts and Alice in Wonderland make for great matching costumes.

These two Halloween costumes provide a nice contrast to one another, yet everyone will know they are part of a theme. So if you don't want costumes that are exactly the same, then the Queen of Hearts and Alice in Wonderland can make a great pair of mother-and-daughter outfits.

4. Cinderella and Her Fairy Godmother

Your little girl will love being a princess for a night, and you can be her fairy godmother.

This is the only fairy godmother Halloween costume I could find for this theme. Alternatively, you can find a normal fairy or princess costume for you or your girl.

Just remember to include the wand if you are going as fairy godmother. With a wand, there will be no mistaking who you are dressing up as when you stand next to Cinderella.

5. Snow White and the Evil Queen

Dress up as Snow White and the Evil Queen.

I am not sure I like Mum to play the part of the evil witch, but it's all in the name of fun.

I picked this combination because I love the girl's Snow White costume. However, discuss this costume idea with your daughter first to test her reaction. Will she be upset or delighted to see Mum dressed up as the evil witch?

6. Catwoman and Batgirl

Here's another super hero costume for a mother and daughter: Catwoman and Batgirl.

Here's another variation on the superhero theme.

I love this Catwoman and Batgirl Costume for mother and daughter. However, I would probably not pick this style because I don't have the figure for the Catwoman costume! An alternative would be to dress up in black and look for Catwoman accessories to make a half-bought, half-DIY ensemble for yourself. Daddy can be Batman, naturally.

7. Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf

If your little girl is dressing up as Miss Red Riding Hood, you can play along and be the big bad wolf.

If your girl is dressing up as Little Red Riding Hood, you could play along and be the wolf.

In this costume pair, the girl looks sweet in the Little Red Riding Hood outfit, while Mum looks really cool and not at all like the big bad wolf.

I like how the mother's costume is so easy to put together. All you need is a nice black tee and the wolf headdress. Very good for the busy mum who doesn't like to dress up too much.

If you want to reverse the roles, a teen or tween daughter can dress up as Clawdeen Wolf from Monster High.

8. A Butterfly and a Sunflower

Take a leaf from nature's book and dress up as a sunflower and a butterfly.

How about a flower garden theme? There are many variations for mother and daughter. You can choose to be any combination of fairies, bumblebees, garden gnomes, roses, sunflowers, dragonflies. It's up to you, and it is a fun and creative way to match. Choose similar colors and coordinating accessories to make your ensemble look even better.

A cheap alternative to a full costume is to dress up in black tees and black tights, then wear one of butterfly wings. You would look like the perfect butterfly flitting next to your girl in her sunflower or rose costume.

Another variation of the garden theme is shown below. Instead of a butterfly, one of you can also go as a bumblebee. Below, the mother is wearing the bumblebee costume while daughter dresses up as a flower in a flower pot. You can also do the opposite. However, while there are many cute and adorable bee costumes for kids, flower costumes for adults are harder to find, so you will need to improvise a little if that's the route you choose.

9. Wilma and Pebbles Flintstone

The Flintstones can make for a wonderful family costume.

How about going as the modern Stone Age family? You and your daughter can go as Wilma and Pebbles Flintstone. No prizes for guessing who has to dress up as Fred Flintstone.

Why not have your good neighbors play along by dressing up as Barney and Betty Rubble and Bamm Bamm?

10. Little Miss Muffet and the Spider

This spider costume is an easy one for moms, and little girls will love the Miss Muffet dress.

This mom-and-daughter ensemble is cute for families with little girls.

I like this spider-web top for Mum, and any girl will look cute in a little Miss Muffet Costume.

I like the mum's simple tee shirt because it's something I would wear. All you really need is some awesome makeup to bring the outfit out. The front part of the t-shirt is plain black with a little web peeking over the shoulder top. You will need to add some cool spider tattoos on your shoulders or neck to make it more dressy. Smoky eyes and dark red lips would be nice too.

Dad or your little boy can be the spider.

11. Halloween Candy Family

The whole family can dress up as various candies for Halloween.

Halloween reminds us of sweets, so why not dress up as candies? Your little girl could dress up as a tootsie roll, you can wear an M&M tank dress, and perhaps you could persuade the man to dress up as a bag of candies as well. There are even cute baby candy costumes. What a sweet family. You will certainly create honeyed memories in this family Halloween costume.

12. Mom And Daughter Witches

Why not go for a classic Halloween costume and both dress up as witches?

Why not dress up as a pair of witches for Halloween?

Since witches go hand in hand with the holiday, you will find plenty of witch costumes in various styles and colors to choose from. I like this all-black classic and elegant witch costume for the mum and this sweet and cute candy corn witch costume for the daughter

If you have a preteen costume, this combination would be nice for you both to go witching together this Halloween.

Points to Ponder

Please note that the outfits have paired in easy-to-browse images to give you ideas for potential themes, but the costumes are from different manufacturers and sellers. You have to purchase them separately if you are thinking of buying the costumes. Remember to read the fine print and customer reviews from the sellers to know what you are buying.

If not, you can use the ideas to make a diy costume for yourself and your girl with your own homemade materials.
