Is your sorority, fraternity or group of friends throwing a Halloween bash? Wearing matching costumes will help you keep up with each other and let your guests know who's in charge should they need something. Here are some ideas you can use.

Group Halloween costume 1. Boy Band: Whether you want to be the Backstreet Boys, Boys II Men, The Monkees, New Edition, New Kids on the Block, or NSYNC, all your really need to make this costume work are matching shirts and goofy hairstyles.

Group Halloween costume 2. Dancers: If you want to be a group of dancers, your first choice is to figure out what kind of dancer you want to be. You can be belly dancers, ballerinas, tap dancers, jazz dancers, Irish folk dancers or flash dancers. You can get matching costumes from your local dance or costume shop. See: Choosing a Belly Dance Costume.

Group Halloween costume 3. Business executives: You should be able to throw together these matching costumes without spending any money. Have everyone wear a dark business suit, white shirts and red tie. You can have fancy name tags made if you like -- and you can carry briefcases if you wish.

Group Halloween costume 4. Blue Man Group: You can purchase the Blue Man Group masks online for less than $20 each. Besides that, you only need to wear black pants and turtle neck shirts and do weird random things. It might be fun to choreograph an act for some point during the party.

Group Halloween costume 5. Cheerleaders: Your only must-have for this group costume is pom poms. The rest of the costume can be as simple as white t-shirts and short denim jeans. If you want to get fancy, however, you can go as far as to purchase real cheerleader uniforms for around $50 each. Matching sweats will work well, too. Men, if you are really gutsy, you may want to try this costume option.
