What fun is dressing up if you have no one to participate in the madness with you? Secondly, all of us Halloween buffs are well aware of how expensive a good Halloween costume can get, which is part of the reason that DIY has been taking the world by storm. For anybody panicking for costume ideas, look no further than your very own living room. Television provides a plethora of inspiration for DIY costume ideas; for those dedicated groups of friends looking to participate in a group costume, here are some easy DIY group costumes with something for every group of friends:

1) The Walking Dead

A famous and recognizable cast that is super easy to portray are the characters of AMC's The Walking Dead (TWD). The easy everyday attire of this mid-west crew is super easy to throw together and the abundance of characters assures a costume choice for every participant. It even provides an opportunity to get really twisted if one wishes, after all, the show is about zombies.

2) Despicable Me

Another highly recognizable cast of characters that can be easily portrayed through DIY methods are the characters of the 2010 film Despicable Me. Chock full of characters, this cast provides a costume opportunity for a whole family, or just a group of friends. It is also a great chance for a large group, since there are several human characters in the film, as well as endless numbers of "minions."

3) Orange is the New Black

The characters of the hit Netflix series Orange is the New Black (OINTB) provides a perfect opportunity for an exceptionally large group wishing to participate in the costume, since there are so many characters in OINTB. It's also a great choice for a group of people with varying levels of commitment; some characters of OINTB are covered in gnarly tattoos and have crazy haircuts, others are completely normal looking (aside from the prison garb).

4) Bridesmaids

For all the girls who are looking for a DIY costume that can be reused easily, dressing up as the cast of Bridesmaids (2011) is ideal. Essentially, all the costume is is a cocktail dress, which can be reused multiple times. Another fantastic plus about this getup is the fact that the characters in this films are the definition of a hot mess, so when you get falling-down-drunk, you can just blame it on the costume!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
